Talking Dirty (Jane-Ann Walton - Auricula Special, Episode 45)

Sometimes they're so perfect, it's hard to believe they're real - In this week's Talking Dirty podcast it's ALL about Auriculas as grower Jane-Ann Walton explains the different types and how to grow these Diva plants. From compost mixes, to dealing with pests like root aphid and red spider mite, the best pots to use, overwintering, where to start if you're a beginner and even helpful tools - Jane-Ann bring over thirty years experience to the podcast. Plus she wows Alan Gray and Thordis with some stunning varieties.

And it's not quite all Auriculas. The trio can't stop themselves getting carried away with a few other horticultural treasures as well, as the plant list shows!

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.
