Ep. 73 - Tradescantia

(and Some of Their Relatives)

Join us as we chat about some plants we don't really like but "sort of grow!"

Don't worry - as always, we manage to find several species in Tradescantia and related genera that we want (and for which we think we have room?) Is Stephen's cruel, sparse aesthetic starting to rub off on Matthew? How is this is one of Stephen's roughly three ornamental plants? And which one of the Plant Daddies likes them "compact and densely hairy?" As a bonus, we including ideas for those living near nuclear facilities.

Mentioned in this episode:

• revising our use of problematic common names

• managing the growth of a fast-growing plant prone to legginess

• notable plants from related genera worth mentioning and growing
