  • Used to love this podcast

    When Veronica started this podcast it was great - now she only uses it to sel products from her business ( soil company) and she rarely talks about plantcare .. because I do not live in the US this is very frustrating ..

Episode 276 - Does Sansevieria stress-bloom?
