  • My favorite plant podcast!

    I turned 43 this year and all of a sudden had to have every house plant I could get my hands on. Your show has taught me so much! I love listening to your shows to learn about specific plants I buy. I don’t own a calathea yet, but after the most recent episode about Calathea’s, I think I’m ready for the challenge! THANK YOU for being my plant teacher!

  • A great find for my daily commute

    I’m listening for the first time, and the first episode I chose was about the comment plant mistakes collected from a Reddit thread. I quickly realized I had been making one of those mistakes myself! I’m so grateful to have found this podcast - it will be the perfect listen on my daily 40 minute commute.
