A Florida native plant and invasive species specialist is your plant bodyguard and matchmaker in one. They know which plants belong in our subtropical mix, what they need to stay happy, and which bullies try to take over. That means smarter watering, soil, and light choices, fewer pests, and fewer sad, droopy leaves. They spot invaders fast, remove them safely, and keep them from hitchhiking to the rest of your collection. They also pick Florida‑friendly plants that sip water, shrug off salt air, and handle summer storms like pros. You get healthier houseplants and gardens, less waste, and no mystery outbreaks that nuke your favorite fiddle. Hire the person who knows native from nuisance, and your plants will thank you with new growth instead of drama.
