All About Houseplants with Jane Perrone, Host of 'On The Ledge'

This week it's time to shelter inside and focus on our houseplants as Talking Dirty catches up with podcasting legend Jane Perrone. Host of 'On The Ledge', the foremost houseplant podcast, Jane has been growing plants (both indoors and out) all her life. And she's learned some awesome tips along the way.

From why the plants you buy might be hard to look after, to some different varieties to try, plus propagation advice and even - heading outside - a great dry shade recommendation!

About the Podcast

Talking Dirty
The Podcast for Plant Lovers
Get Gardening's podcast for plant lovers is jam-packed with choice plants.

Hosts Thordis and Alan Gray (of East Ruston Old Vicarage gardens) catch up with their horticultural (or should that be naughty-cultural!) friends to talk about their favourite plants of the moment. It's a bit like a stroll around a fantastic nursery or inspiring garden, but with someone telling you what all the plants are!

There are lots of growing and propagation tips included, and everyone shares their latest FLOMO (FLoral/plant-based fOMO). Check out the show notes or our website (getgardeningnow.co.uk) for a full plant list to accompany each episode.
