Let’s be real—nobody warned us how fast this hobby can spiral. One minute you're picking up a pothos at the grocery store, the next you’re knee-deep in rare plant auctions and budgeting for grow lights. In this episode, we're talking about the 10 things we wish we knew before we started our plant journeys—beyond the basic care tips. From the hidden costs of plant care and the pressure of social media trends, to the way your collection can quietly take over your home (and your wallet), we're breaking down the real-life lessons we’ve learned along the way. This one’s for anyone who’s ever said, “I’m just getting one plant.”
Join us as we hang out with Kaylin and poke around her plant shelf, checking for scale (the dreaded plant pest) and getting into some real talk along the way.
That’s right — we spend this entire episode shaming our plants. We air the grievances, call out the divas, and roast the green freeloader who’s been sitting in the same pot for three years doing absolutely nothing. No one is safe. But beneath the drama, there’s a real conversation about expectations, projection, and what it means to care for something that doesn’t always give back the way we want. Come for the petty plant rants, stay for the subtle self-reflection.
In this episode, we dive into the Epipremnum genus—home to some of the most popular and beginner-friendly houseplants, like the golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) and its dazzling variegated cousins. Learn how to distinguish between cultivars, what makes them so adaptable indoors, and how to help them thrive in your space. Whether you're a new plant parent or a seasoned collector, this deep dive into Epipremnum will leave you seeing pothos in a whole new light.
In this episode, we're getting to the root of a topic that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential—pots for houseplants. From terracotta to plastic, self-watering to decorative cachepots, we break down the pros and cons of different materials and styles, and how your choice of pot can affect your plant's health, growth, and even watering needs. Whether you’re team drainage hole or just want your plants to look cute on the shelf, we’ve got practical tips to help you choose the best pot for every plant in your collection.
It's a plant chat!
