Thanks again for yet another good episode. (^^,)
Tips to the plant. (^^,) https://www.pilea.com/ Where to find it. https://pileamap.com/
This episode was so much fun to listen to! Listening to their chat was like eavesdropping on two best friends catching up. Such an engaging conversation to listen to! There was so much information in this episode, I will be listening to this one again!!
This is the best plant podcast out there. Jane provides great content on so many plant subjects, it’s amazing.
Jane's show is such a treat. I appreciate how she investigates plant topics, seeks out experts from all over, and talks to her listeners as if we're sitting there with her. It's great fun and I look forward to every episode.
My friend's mum puts a coin on top of a frozen cup of water in the freezer. if she comes home from holidays and the coin has sunk- she knows the power has gone off and things have defrosted. A bit over the top but interesting! haha
My only complaint would be that Jane is across the ocean because every time I listen to this it feels like hearing from a friend and I want to hang out and talk plants. So informative, realistic, and fun. I absolutely love this podcast.
My favorite houseplant podcast! Jane is so sincere & humble. The show doesn't give that Pumpkin Spice Latte/Instagram stereotype vibe at all.
