1+ y ago1:22:11

1:22:11

*tap tap* ...Is this thing still on? Our hiatus has lasted slightly longer than we expected, but Maria from Growing Joy is on the very short list of people who can coax us out of podcast retirement. We hope you enjoy this conversation about caudex plants– a flavor we both love! From Growing Joy Podcast: "Are you ready to add some unique, eye-catchi…

2y ago51:58

51:58

Our Season 3 finale is here, and we’re wrapping up with a Q&A show covering succulent substrates, flowering plants for beginners, opinions on “rare” and “status plants,” favorite moments from this season, and more! Remember Lightning Rounds? To Stephen’s delight, Matthew throws one in. Have we forgiven our Mandarin Plants yet? And have we forgiven …

Now that Summer weather has finally reached us here in Seattle, we sit down to share our plant-oriented reading and listening lists. Then we welcome Maria Failla back on the show to tell us about her new book, Growing Joy: The Plant Lover’s Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants), one we both loved! Remember almanacs?

Episode 142: So How Are Those Plant Resolutions Coming? 1:00:55

2y ago1:00:55

1:00:55

It’s truth time. Since we *so bravely* shared our plant goals earlier this year, have we made any progress? Stephen started using windows, and he finally has some results to report. And Matthew is doing a certain thing a lot more consistently. But do we still have those Mandarin Plants? Let’s just say you can tell we’re getting close to the end of …

Episode 141: Air Plants, with Emily Allsop of the Volunteer Park Conservatory 42:29

2y ago42:29

42:29

At long last, The Plant Daddies will break their silence… and talk about Air Plants. We've discussed other Bromeliads in the past, so how has it taken this long to cover perhaps the most popular genus?! Perhaps it's because we don't consider ourselves great Air Plant growers, so we brought Tillandsia expert, Emily Allsop from Volunteer Park Conserv…

Episode 140: Bundle of Sticks Plant, Cynanchum marnierianum 34:29

2y ago34:29

34:29

If you do everything right, the plant we’re discussing this week will look kind of dead! Did that get your attention? If that sounds appealing to you - and it does to us - then you really should give the Bundle of Sticks Plant, Cynanchum marnierianum, a try. What are our experiences with this surprisingly easy plant? How can you even tell if it's t…

Episode 139: Propagation Updates - Roots Were Grown 45:29

2y ago45:29

45:29

This month, we revisit a perennial Plant Parent passion – propagation! See what I did there? Thank you. Anyway, are there any new trends lately? What propagation are we doing in our own collections? And what the heck do we plan to do with these new plants? We “get into it” discussing sphagnum, perlite, and other preferred propagation mediums. But b…

Episode 138: The Mandarin Plant, Chlorophytum orchidastrum 38:14

2y ago38:14

38:14

If you haven't seen the striking, bright orange growth of the Mandarin Plant, Chlorophytum orchidastrum, then you’re in for a treat. We were so intrigued that we both tried growing them! After 6 months, what have we learned? Which Plant Daddy had a better experience? How are their flowers? And could this be the Spider Plant’s prettier, moodier cous…

Episode 137: The Fishtail Hoya, Hoya polyneura 35:07

2y ago35:07

35:07

Looking for a Hoya you can thoroughly enjoy… even without flowers? This week, the Plant Daddies check in on Hoya polyneura, one they both consider a favorite “foliage Hoya”. How did we cut through the varying care information found online? How did our plants fare in our different conditions? And why does Matthew prefer mermaids to fish? Then on the…

Episode 136: Welwitschia and the "Weird Houseplant" Experience 51:44

2y ago51:44

51:44

We know it’s an unlikely choice for most plant parents, but the strategies and fun involved in cultivating unusual houseplants like Welwitschia mirabilis is an experience we’re excited to share! And even if he has never touched one, Matthew loves the botanical and evolutionary mystery this living fossil presents. What can we do when there’s no clea…

Episode 135: Chill 'n Chat - Spring Strategies Grab Bag 44:01

2y ago44:01

44:01

We have plenty of plant thoughts and goals on our minds as we sit down for our Spring-themed Chill 'n Chat! Should you put our houseplants outdoors during the warm months? As seasonal selections improve at plant stores, what are our current strategies to avoid plant burnout or over-collecting? Do you have to get a former goal plant if it’s cheaper …

Episode 134: Lifesaver Plant (Huernia zebrina) 34:17

2y ago34:17

34:17

Looking for a low-stress succulent with beautiful, unusual flowers? Then Huernia zebrina should be on your list. We’ve both kept this plant for years, so we’ll share plenty of mistakes for you to learn from! What is soil compaction? What is the easiest way to propagate? And what about the other amazing plants in the Stapeliad group? This is one we’…

Episode 133: The Next Fiddle Leaf Fig? 46:24

2y ago46:24

46:24

We found articles calling Ficus Audrey and Ficus umbellata “the next Fiddle Leaf Figs.” So we decided to put this bold claim to the test. Do they live up to the hype? How similar is their care to the FLF? And years later, how are Matthew’s "It Plants" doing? Stephen does a wellness check, and one of these shows promise! Then we tried something we’r…

Episode 132: Aloe vera 53:37

2y ago53:37

53:37

We’re back with another classic that may straddle the world of houseplants and…indoor herbs? Beyond impressively easy care, we'll explore our own experiences with this ubiquitous plant over the years. Does it have uses beyond soothing burnt skin? Has its efficacy as a home remedy been studied? Will we find any good aloe recipes? And is this the fir…

Episode 131: Adopting an old plant. Now what? 54:05

2y ago54:05

54:05

We can talk about techniques one by one, but sometimes a scenario – like adopting an old plant – is the best way to discuss how we think of them *all working together*. Today we’ll talk through fertilizing, potting substrate, pruning, and dividing, and when we’d consider each. Will we agree? Expect a few propagation and pruning tips in this one, an…

Episode 130: Trip Report - Mexico City Bonus Episode! 22:31

2y ago22:31

22:31

Have you ever listened to a friend’s vacation recap, but wished they would ONLY talk about the plants they saw? If you answered “Yes!,” “Maybe,” or “...What?”, then this episode is for you! What did Stephen see that surprised him? And which plant-centric spots does he recommend? Most of all, will this finally coax him to get a Monstera? We’ve teame…

Episode 129: Chill 'n Chat - Back to the Beginning 46:51

2y ago46:51

46:51

It’s Chill 'n Chat time again! This month, we decided to go way back and revisit the first 5 plants we covered in the show. How are they doing in our collections? And how have our opinions changed? Let’s just say some things have changed since 2019, and some things haven't. We discuss: Jungle Cacti (00:06:00) | Staghorn ferns (00:17:45) | Pilea pep…

Episode 128: Hoya Potting Mix, and "the Soil Equation" 37:55

2y ago37:55

37:55

Is there a perfect Hoya substrate recipe? Our answer may surprise you. We’ll walk through our preferred ingredients, why we use them, some ideas for both new and experienced Hoya parents, and even the “potting equation” as a whole! You know us – we couldn’t help getting into the details! What is a “coarse” mix? How do we both feel about coconut hus…

Episode 127: Asparagus Fern Plant Profile 34:46

2y ago34:46

34:46

So… what is an asparagus fern anyway? We’ll share cultivation “experiments” that may help you avoid some common frustrations with these resilient classics, and we’ll cover the common species that share this moniker at plant stores. How much water do these really need? Does Stephen *actually enjoy* these? And can Matthew resist talking about edible …

Episode 126: Off Topic - Are Paperwhites "Houseplants"? 50:06

2y ago50:06

50:06

Over the holidays, the Plant Daddies both tried some boxed bulbs from the clearance rack (...it turns out!), and our “results may have varied.” Now that indoor bulbs are gone from store shelves, this post-Paperwhite wrap-up is more about the experience, less about the care advice, and even leaves us questioning …what IS a houseplant to us? We get o…

Episode 125: Thinking About Sustainability, with Westerlay Orchids 30:41

2y ago30:41

30:41

We sit down with Toine Overgaag of Westerlay Orchids, a major grower of Phalaenopsis on the West Coast of the US, to hear about their sustainability efforts, and the state of large-scale houseplant production more broadly. Are grocery store orchids considered “disposable?” Are there ways to tell if you're buying sustainably-produced plants? And wha…

Episode 124: Chill 'n Chat - Are the Kids Alright? 44:06

2y ago44:06

44:06

How well is the “traditional” plant industry serving the interests of the newest wave of plant parents? And for those who started in the hobby during the pandemic, how are they faring? We found two interesting articles about the state of the houseplant community that felt perfect for the first Chill 'n Chat of 2022. What is a “brutalist candlestick…

Episode 123: Pygmy Sundew Plant Profile 50:44

2+ y ago50:44

50:44

You may know about Sundews, but the Plant Daddies believe these particularly tiny, beautiful members of the Drosera genus deserve their own special mention. And we’re happy to report that their care and propagation is easier than you may have read! Will they thrive in terrariums? What does it sound like when Stephen tries to sell Matthew on a plant…

Episode 122: Lipstick Plant, Aeschynanthus Plant Profile 55:18

2+ y ago55:18

55:18

The Lipstick Plant is the very first Gesneriad we discuss on the show, and we both feel that this robust, reliably flowering plant is a great introduction to this amazing family of plants. Does Stephen admit to liking a flowering indoor tropical? And is Matthew getting too worked up about cultivar confusion? Have you ever thought you didn’t have mu…

Episode 121: Mindfulness and Plants, with Maria Failla 58:39

2+ y ago58:39

58:39

Is there more to our relationship with houseplants than collecting and cultivating? Maria Failla of Bloom and Grow Radio is back to make her case in a revealing interview that we both love. What does a mindfulness practice actually mean? And how can you begin your own? It's easier and more powerful than you might think. And it may surprise you whic…
