Join us for another festive and fun episode of Hort Culture, as we discuss the ins and outs of dish gardens and terrariums. We will talk about the difference between the two, noting that dish gardens are open, shallow containers typically housing arid plants, while terrariums are closed, humid environments. We will share our personal experiences and preferences, from using mini plants to prevent overgrowth in terrariums, to employing fun accessories like tiny dinosaurs in displays. We also delve into the practicalities of plant selection, soil types, and even the minimal need for fertilizer, emphasizing the importance of understanding each plant's specific requirements.

About The Dry Exotic Garden Discover everything you need to know about designing, choosing and planting cacti and succulents to create a drought-tolerant garden in this lavishly illustrated guide with experts forecasting reduced summer rainfall, xeriscaping – the practice of landscaping with minimal water – is now a popular choice for many gardeners.  Links The Dry Exotic Garden: A Gardener's Guide to Xeriscaping with Succulents by Paul Spracklin Other episodes if you liked this one: If you liked this week's episode with Paul Spracklin you might also enjoy this one from the archives:  161: The Jungle Garden with Philip Oostenbrink - This week's guest is Philip Oostenbrink, Head Gardener at Walmer Castle and Gardens, Collections Coordinator for Plant Heritage in Kent, Plant Trials committee member for the RHS and self-confessed jungle plant nut. Philip has just published a new book titled ‘The Jungle Garden' and in this interview, I talk to him about what a jungle garden is, whether they can work in shady and sunny aspects, easy jungle plants, rarer ones, plant hardiness, seasonal and winter interest and where to get plants. 175: Seeking Rare Plants - This week's guest is Nick Macer, plant hunter, self-taught botanist, rare species expert and owner of Pan Global Plants, a nursery based in the Severn Valley, which, to quote the website, offers “a selection of the finest, most desirable and often rarest plants capable of growing on these isles”. And that's key – Nick hand selects plants, in the past, directly from where they were growing in the wild and brings them into cultivation. He's renowned for choosing sublime varieties and for openly sharing his knowledge and experience. I did intend to talk to Nick a bit about his plant hunting trips, but as a stop has been put to these recently due to rules around the transportation of plant materials, the conversation went in other directions.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community Botanical History On This Day 1849 A most extraordinary presentation took place at Windsor Castle. Imagine, if you will, standing in the grand halls of Windsor Castle as Joseph Paxton (PAX-ton) presented a massive leaf and exquisite blossom of the Victoria Amazonica (vik-TOR-ee-ah am-uh-ZON-ih-kuh) to the Queen. The moment was so moving that Her Majesty enthusiastically declared, "We are immensely pleased." 1909 The Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson (WIL-sun) sent what seemed like a routine notification to the plant industry office in Seattle. Little did anyone know this simple message would set in motion one of the most delicate diplomatic situations in early 20th-century American-Japanese relations. Grow That Garden Library™  Read The Daily Gardener review of The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing Cacti and Succulents by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and Paul Rees Buy the book on Amazon: The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing Cacti and Succulents by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and Paul Rees Today's Botanic Spark 1989 The Sarasota Herald-Tribune published a story that lifted the veil on the shadowy world of rare orchid trading. The article focused on Limerick Inc. and an alleged smuggling operation of endangered Chinese orchids to Florida - but the real story runs much deeper into the heart of orchid obsession. The tale of Kerry Richards and his nursery, Limerick Inc., reads like a botanical thriller. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Join us as we sit down with Dr. Carly Cowell, a leading expert from the Succulent Plant Illegal Trade Task Force, for an eye-opening conversation about the vast and diverse world of succulents. From the resilient aloe and agave to rare, lesser-known species, Carly takes us through her journey from horticulture in South Africa to her crucial role in conservation policy at Botanic Gardens Conservation International in London. Discover the incredible adaptations that allow these plants to thrive in arid climates and learn about the vital ecological roles they play.We unravel the complex web of threats facing succulent plants, focusing on the rampant illegal trade amplified by technology and the internet. Dr. Cowell provides a historical perspective on how cacti were listed under CITES in the 1970s and reveals the modern-day conservation challenges exacerbated by climate change. The discussion touches on innovative solutions like relocating plant populations and the unique seed dispersal mechanisms that succulents use to survive. This segment is not just informative but also a call to action for all plant enthusiasts to be mindful of the origins of their botanical treasures.Links:IUCN SSC Cactus and Succulent Plants Specialist GroupBotanic Gardens Conservation InternationalCITESDr. Carly Cowell

Welcome to Episode 67 of The School of Intention Podcast! Today, we're diving into the world of Feng Shui and exploring my favorite money plants. While traditional recommendations exist, I'll share unconventional favorites that bring abundant energy into your space.  First up is mint, a prolific herb symbolizing abundance with its vigorous growth. Use mint essential oil for an energizing boost or simmer it for an invigorating aroma throughout your home. Next, we have Rosemary, known for enhancing focus and mental clarity. Simply boil Rosemary to release its fragrance, or keep it near your workspace for a productivity boost. Snake plants are personal favorites, towering symbols of thriving energy. Low-maintenance and adaptable, they infuse any space with vitality and focus. Succulents, like Jade plants, are resilient symbols of growing wealth. Their coin-shaped leaves and sculptural growth embody abundance, making them perfect additions to your home. By nurturing these plants, you co-create with nature, fostering a thriving environment that supports your goals. Embrace the abundance of nature and watch as it enhances your creativity and vitality.

If you're new to growing plants in your home, or looking for something that gives you a little slack when it comes to timely watering, succulents may be right for you.   In this episode, Don and John go over the basics of succulents, from watering to potting to making them bloom. They'll also settle the nagging question: Are they "cactuses" or "cacti"?

Succulents can make great houseplants depending on your space and light levels. Many gardeners love picking up some of these small plants in winter to add some greenery to their indoors. But it does matter which succulents you grow, and where you grow them, in your home. For high light windows that get at least 3 to 4 hours of direct sun a day in winter or if you have a grow light, light-loving succulents are best. Echeverias, sedums, cacti and sempervivums or hens and chicks, all love the bright light. For darker areas that may only get an hour or so of direct light, but still is a brightly lit room, try Haworthia, aloe, snake plant, ZZ plant and jade plants. They can tolerate the lower light levels and not get leggy. The other consideration is space. Many succulents can be purchased in small, 2-inch diameter pots, but they can grow big over time. Consider places in your home where you can grow larger succulents or grow some that stay small such as Haworthia. I've seen very large aloe, jade and agave plants in homes that are striking as long as they have room and sun. Succulents are best watered once the soil is dry. Slowly pour water into the pot so it drains out the bottom. Or place pots in a basin with a few inches of water and the soil will naturally soak up the water. Some succulents grow small pups or baby plants next to the mother plant. Create more succulents by separating the babies from the mother and potting them in their own containers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving break. This time of year it's nice to do some indoor craft and gardening projects. One of my favorites is decorating with indoor succulents. Succulent plants have become very popular for their low maintenance and interesting shaped and colored leaves. They don't require much water, especially in winter, but do need a brightly lit room to grow well and not get leggy. There are many ways to decorate with succulents. You can pot up a single, dramatic succulent such as an aloe vera or jade plant as a centerpiece for the holidays. Another method is to purchase many small succulents in 1 or 2 inch diameter pots and group them together in a shallow decorative container. The advantage of these small plants is they're easy to work with, less expensive and fun to mix and match for their colors and shapes. Use an 8 or 10 inch diameter container and plant small versions of different types of cactus, echeverias, milk trees, sedums and hens and chicks. You can even plant some cascading succulents such as string of pearls for the edge. Some gardeners love containers with all the same types of succulent, while others like to mix and match different colored and shaped plants. Plant in cactus mix potting soil in a container with a drainage hole. Water well at first, then let the pot dry out completely between waterings. Decorate the planting with rocks, pebbles and even moss. Pack the plants together. Even though they will eventually need replanting as they grow, these indoor succulent containers will look great for the holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sophia Sisil is a natural born entrepreneur and the owner of Sophia's Succulents, selling plants and arrangements in farmers markets around the Madera, California area.  Sophia is also just getting ready to begin her 10th grad year of high school, but her 4th year of FFA.  Starting in middle school, Sophia joined the FFA kind of because that was the thing to do in her family.  However, by the end of her 8th grade year she was hooked and knew that she would wear the blue jacket for as long as she was able. In today's interview Sophia talks about her succulent business and how she got started.  Something stood out to me as she told the story.  She said that she was at a Home Depot with a friend, and she saw pieces of a succulent plant on the floor, waiting to be swept up and thrown in the trash.  However, her curiosity was piqued, and she took the pieces home and tried to propagate her own plants with the pieces.  When she told me that part, I knew that something was different. As I inquired further, Sophia told me that she had been trying to start businesses since about 6th Grade.  She said that she has even tried selling her own clothes.  She also said at one point she was drawing pictures and selling them on Instagram.  She did this, even when her parents told her they didn't think it would work.  That is a natural born entrepreneur!

Isabelle Oterro, the spiritual advisor of the FU Project Workshop joins the podcast today to talk about how to have the courage to pivot in times of change and when things are not working how we expected, which is all too common on your fertility journey, right?  Having moved from France at 20 years old, Isabelle adopted the New York way of life as a young professional. It was here that an intimate journey through anxiety and panic attacks took Isabelle to task in truly knowing her self. Averse to reliance on prescription drugs, she sought out alternatives. What started as weekly sessions with a psychologist, quickly lead to hypnosis, past life exploration, and an unlimited world of healing modalities. This journey inspired a deeper understanding of her own psychic and healing abilities to help others. As a clairvoyant medium, Isabelle is a psychic healer, certified hypnotist and energy therapist. Isabelle continues expanding her capacity to heal as a medium clairvoyant, never ceasing to trust in the evolution of her work. An as I like to say, Isabelle is the best therapy you will ever have.  Listen in to learn how you make a decision to pivot? What does pivoting in a new direction look like and how can you move forward with courage and grace?  What You'll Learn    How do you know it's time to make a change?

#1236 In this "Where Are They Now?" session, I'm chatting with Cassidy Tuttle. She's been a student of mine for a long time, and I actually had her on the SPI podcast way back on episode 283. Cassidy's Succulents and Sunshine is booming right now, and she needs help handling the growth and success of her business. Often when we first start delegating tasks to free up time, we end up giving ourselves a new job as a micromanager. Cassidy wants to become more comfortable letting others run with her ideas and things not turning out exactly how she envisioned them. She also understands that she can't always be the face of her brand but doesn't want to disappoint her audience. As our businesses grow and change, we sometimes just need to get out of our own way. So listen in, get inspired, and take your business to the next level!
