Ep. 129 - Back to the Beginning

Mar 15

Chill 'n Chat

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.

Mentioned in this episode:

Jungle Cacti (00:06:00) - defying our expectations of cacti, these offer flowers, fruit, and beautiful, interesting growth habits
Staghorn ferns (00:17:45) - we originally talked about mounting them, but some interesting science about them also came up in Ep. 101
Pilea peperomioides (00:23:40) - the PP Plant! Is yesterday’s trend plant is tomorrow’s clearance rack rescue?
Begonia maculata (00:28:17) - the Polka Dot Begonia, and still the most trendy Begonia on social media
Pothos (00:33:02) - we treat “Pothos” as a common name, since it covers a few plants in different genera. The “classic” one is Epipremnum aureum, but it also includes some Scindapsus, which we also discussed in Ep. 109
