Rough Around the Hedges

This week, we’re joined by Jane Perrone for a relaxed conversation about our plant journeys, lessons learned, favorite experiences, and the realities of life as plant people. No deep dives or how-to guides—just a fun chat between plant lovers sharing stories, perspectives, and a mutual love of all things green.

Join us for a plant chat!

We’re diving into the world of terrariums—where houseplants and tiny ecosystems come to life. From closed humidity-loving plant setups to bioactive enclosures for animals, we break down the basics, materials, and design tips to help you build a thriving miniature world. Whether you’re creating for aesthetics or function, this episode covers how to get started (and what to avoid).

In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like to grow houseplants while navigating ADHD and autism. From hyperfixation phases to burnout, forgotten watering schedules to creating systems that actually work, we share honest experiences and practical ways to make plant care more accessible. Whether plants are your grounding ritual or another thing on your to-do list, this conversation is all about finding what works for you.

Not all substrates are created equal—and we’re digging into the differences with guest Macky. From perlite to coco coir to pumice, we break down what these popular picks actually do for your plants, plus touch on other alternatives worth trying. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on in your soil mix, this one’s for you!
