# Hi all! I decided to pick up plants as a hobby this summer, and now…

_Posted by KMax on 2023-12-29_

Hi all! I decided to pick up plants as a hobby this summer, and now I’m finally ready to buy more plants. I know when you buy plants, you need to separate them to make sure they are healthy and not going to infect your plants…. How do you do that? I don’t have tons of space in my house, and even less with nice windows for light, and our garage isn’t well insulated nor heated (we live in MN so it’s cold) to isolate the plants. Any advice?

I really only have my bedroom with two windows for my plants so I try to keep it on the opposite side of my room for a bit!
