Send us a textWe borrowed our guest's phrase 'happy, healthy house plants' this week as it aptly describes a nirvana that many of us struggle with.  Jane Perrone is a gardening writer and podcaster whose articles many will have read in the Guardian, Financial Times, and The RHS Garden Magazine among many publications.  Jane's passion for houseplants shines through in our chat this week, dealing with the essentials of light, watering, and feeding as you might expect. But, also with sound advice on checking the soil or substrate of the plants we buy, rather than assuming they come fully equipped to survive our domestic environments. Another highlight is Jane's warning about 'death plugs' which for less experienced indoor gardeners is a revelation.If you're short on time, you can narrow your search on our chapter tab but Jane is so easy to follow and so passionate about her subject that I'd settle for the full episode!We talk about Jane's Houseplant Gardener In A Box which is an excellent reference guide and we refer to Jane's website: https://www.janeperrone.com/  which also carries links to her podcast 'On The Ledge'.Thanks to our UK-based sponsors Fitzgerald Laing Decorators:for a free quote and advice on any project, here's their Facebook Group:  https://bit.ly/3zvPicBPROUD TO HAVE BEEN A FINALIST  IN THE ‘22 GARDEN MEDIA GUILD AWARDS FOR PODCAST OF THE YEAR.  Untethered & Wanderwise: Female Travel Over 45A travel podcast for women over 45 who want to explore this big beautiful world.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify
