  • 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!

Episode 315: The houseplants that stole the show at Chelsea 2026
Q: What makes the Heliotropic Carousel different and why rotate towards light?
The concept is joy and optimism expressed through rotation and color, inspired by heliotropism in Victorian sun-tracking summer houses, to create a dynamic, uplifting experience for viewers.
Episode 315: The houseplants that stole the show at Chelsea 2026
Q: Tell me about your design concept and what you wanted to achieve with the Hanging Gardens of Botanica.
We aimed for an open, light-filled space with motion and rainwater features, focusing on eight genera to show breadth and to echo a natural tropical environment while educating visitors about proper water use.
Episode 314: Becoming a fulfilled plant person with Sydney Plant Guy
Q: What is the key shift you see in most plant lovers over time?
The shift is moving from an accumulation phase—buying lots of plants—to focusing on growing and developing skills, which leads to healthier plants and longer-lasting joy.
Episode 310: OTL sowalong - pollinating and growing Anthuriums from seed with The Plant Parlour
Q: What happens after pollination is successful, and how long does it take to see results?
After pollination, berries begin to form on the spadix and can take weeks to months to mature; you then harvest the seeds, clean them, and plant them promptly since they have a short viable window.
Episode 310: OTL sowalong - pollinating and growing Anthuriums from seed with The Plant Parlour
Q: If we want to get pollinating our anthuriums, where do we start?
Start by identifying the female phase with visible stigmatic fluid and prepare to collect pollen from the male phase on a separate plant or inflorescence; have tools ready (paintbrush) and keep track of which flowers you pollinate to form a successful cross.
