Follow @djhouseplants Currently on his “Let Nature Nurture” Asia Tour, DJ Houseplants centers his concept of “Nurturing Bioacoustics” & conservation in all of the music he creates. With his natural affinity for all living systems, he loves to bring his signature sound of lush, hypnotic locked grooves to the dance floor. Inspired by my recent travels to Vietnam, this is an audio diary entry dedicated to the late acidic-drenched hours I spent cruising humid Saigon via moped. Waves of motorbikes moving through the streets like schools of anchovies, city lights illuminate and our minds melted, continue to hallucinate.

Today's plant chat is about plant care variables, specifically how to determine if someone's prescriptive advice is actual fact or if it's based on insufficient information. Unless advice is based on repeat instances of a plant's behavior (like blooming, wilting, etc) with many plants of that particular species, all variables are accounted for, AND the result is repeatable (i.e. you can make any plant of that species do it again), informational is anecdotal and shouldn't be treated as fact. Even my results! If they're based on a sample size of 1 plant, EVEN IF I can show consistency in behavior, until I control variables and do this with many plants of the same species, this is not true science :) If you want to add to the (anecdotal!) results that V's Mix is getting with hundreds of other customers, try it this month for FREE!

Ever wonder why your poinsettia crashes by New Year's while your neighbour's looks flawless into January? We sit down with greenhouse manager Adrian Lee to demystify holiday plants and real Christmas trees with clear, field-tested advice you can use today. From watering routines that actually work to placement tips that prevent stress and leaf drop, this is a practical guide to keeping festive greens alive and beautiful.Adrian breaks down the quirks of classic Christmas plants: how poinsettias colour up after a darker rest period and why they hate soggy foil sleeves; the simple feeding schedule that coaxes Christmas cactus into reliable blooms; and the difference between moisture lovers like frosty fern and rot-prone bulbs like cyclamen. We also explore small but mighty evergreens such as lemon cypress, plus rosemary and lavender trimmed into miniature trees for scent, cooking, and calmer sleep. Looking to build a mixed planter? Learn how to water each species on its own terms without drowning the rest.If a real tree anchors your season, you'll get a straightforward care playbook: make a fresh base cut, keep the stand topped up, consider cooler room temps, and mist to slow needle loss. We even talk about oxygenating water and whether brown sugar does anything meaningful. For gardeners dreaming ahead, Adrian explains compact ornamentals for small lots, grafted apple trees with staggered ripening, and pollination basics. We wrap with kitchen garden tips like pruning bay to encourage branching and sustainable leaf harvests.

Wondering if 20-20-20 fertilizer is right for your houseplants?

In this episode of Hort Culture, we provide fun and practical advice on gifts for gardeners! We kick things off by chatting about the start of meteorological winter, the first snow, and our own fun holiday traditions—think pocket-sized cheese advent calendars and big batches of homemade pasta sauce. Then, we dive right into the main event: finding the perfect gifts for the plant people in your life. We share a genius watering hack for indoor plants: forget the tiny watering can! For folks with lots of houseplants, we highly recommend a portable, rechargeable camping shower pump used with a 5-gallon bucket on a rolling cart. Beyond that, we suggest essential gear like a nice pair of high-quality pruners and a nifty little earth auger that attaches to a hand drill, which makes planting bulbs and plugs super fast. And don't forget maintenance—a small, handheld sharpener for pruners is a cheap but incredibly useful gift! If you want something more thoughtful and lasting, we suggest living plants like an Amaryllis or Christmas Cactus, or even saved seeds or perennial plants, which are beautiful, enduring symbols of care.Questions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

In this cozy winter episode of Hort Culture, the hosts chat about early sunsets, shifting routines, and the comforting hobbies that come with the season before diving into the real topic: helping houseplants adjust after being brought indoors. They explain why plants often decline a few weeks after the move—lower light, low humidity, and indoor heating all play a role—and note that some leaf drop is simply a natural response to shorter days. The team discusses why many people summer their houseplants outdoors for better growth or to trigger blooms in plants like Christmas cacti, then cover what stress looks like when those plants return indoors. They share practical tips including using the lift test or finger test to gauge moisture, avoiding overwatering, grouping plants for microclimates, and keeping sensitive species away from heat vents. With a blend of humor and experience, the hosts remind listeners that winter is a season of slowing down—and that with patience and a few adjustments, houseplants can thrive through it.Caring for houseplants in the winterWinter Considerations for HouseplantsAcclimating outdoor plants to the indoors for winterIndoor PlantsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

Plants that live indoors with us over the winter — both houseplants and those that are only stored inside the house seasonally — need a few things from us to get through the darker, colder months. At the same time, too much coddling during this period of semi-dormancy can doom plants. This week, I am sharing how to prepare plants for the transition and how to strike the right balance to keep them happy and healthy.

Recently(ish) someone brought a video to my attention from a soil scientist who was talking about the concern with perlite and fluoride toxicity. There were a few issues with the data and the points presented, and while the studies I found that line up with this video do show little cause for concern, they weren't designed with real-world applicability in mind. Listen to the episode for these points as well as what we can do to minimize risk.

Send us a textOn this episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, host Willie Rodriguez sits down with Ara Flink, founder of Propagation Diaries, to explore the fast-growing world of houseplants, creativity, and innovation in plant care. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Ara has built a thriving business around one key idea, houseplants deserve accessories that are as beautiful and functional as the plants themselves.Originally from Costa Rica, Ara's journey took an unexpected turn from medical school to plant entrepreneurship. After noticing a lack of stylish, high-quality supports for indoor plants, she began designing her own trellises—crafted from iridescent acrylic and locally manufactured in the U.S. Her creations quickly gained popularity, leading to the launch of PropagationDiaries.com, where she now sells trellises, plant care tools, and self-watering products that combine design with purpose.In this inspiring conversation, Ara shares:- How she transformed a creative idea into a successful product line supporting the houseplant community.- Insights on scaling a small business, expanding into wholesale, and preparing for her debut at TPIE 2025.- The challenges of eco-friendly packaging, manufacturing in the U.S., and managing operations with a small team.- Why collaboration over competition could transform the plant industry.- The future of the houseplant market and how live sales, influencers, and social media are reshaping it.Ara's story is a testament to passion, innovation, and persistence—showing how the plant community continues to evolve through creativity and connection.
