  • The Podcast I Never Knew I Needed

    Just started listening after having procrastinated for far too long and so glad I finally gave the show a try! I’ve already learned so much about light, spines vs thorns, and fungus gnats. I keep bookmarking episodes as I move my way backwards. Such a calming (for me) and informative podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 279: Staking moth orchids (Phalaenopsis)
Q: Is it realistic for that plant to be pictured in 1939?
Jane explains that she has not found evidence of Monstera adensoniae being a popular house plant in 1939, despite the species being described scientifically back in 1830.
Episode 280: Citrus and other fruit to grow as houseplants
Q: What advice do you have for growing Thai lime citrus hystrix, especially when it's not getting enough light?
It's crucial to provide good sunlight for citrus; indirect light won't suffice for healthy growth.
Episode 280: Citrus and other fruit to grow as houseplants
Q: Is it possible to grow citrus successfully up in Scotland?
Yes, with proper care and sunlight, citrus can thrive even in colder climates like Scotland.
Episode 282: your venus flytrap and why it died: an extract from Legends of the Leaf
Q: What online education options are available for learning about houseplants?

Episode 284: Buying aspidistras, the price of aglaonemas, choosing plants for a front room and potting mix packaging
Q: Why are some colorful Aglaonemas so expensive?
Colorful Aglaonemas are more costly primarily due to having less chlorophyll, which means slower growth rates compared to green varieties, and they haven't been widely available for long; thus, their breeding has led to higher prices.
