The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/09/13

Should you stop fertilizing in winter? You've probably seen this advice all over the internet and even on popular houseplant blogs, but repetition doesn't make something true - it just makes us believe it more. Instead, let's look at WHY this advice formed, and how we should actually apply it. Logic and science work better than "because I heard it on the internet" every single time :)

Episode 325 - Which Bark is Better?

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/08/26

We’ve all seen the claims that Pinus radiata bark (commonly called “orchid bark”) is superior to other types of bark. The main claim is about longevity - but I took another look, and have officially debunked this myth. Let’s start using more local bark instead of shipping it here from Australia, eh? More info inside!

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/08/12

Hi! The point of this is to announce the sale that technically is already over but I extended it for my podcast listeners - use code HUNGRY20 to get 20% off the Hungry Plant System. That’s all :)

Episode 322 - Dirt thoughts and small business coaching

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/07/22

Hi everyone! This episode is more on the business coaching side of things and takes a look into my thought process, but if you’re a customer it’s for you too! I’ve been thinking about a full revamp for a while now and I want your input! Also, if you need some houseplant coaching - specifically of the “I have dead leaves too” variety - listen to this one :)

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/06/22

Episode 319 - What hoyas can go in self-watering pots?

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/06/15

Here’s another episode on hoyas - and another episode on learning to look at specifics rather than making generalizations. The human urge to generalize is STRONG, but it only actually saves us time when it’s relevant, and in this case it’s far less helpful than we think!

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/05/23

Have you ever purchased a plant with one of those cutesy tags that gives you literally ZERO useful information? If so, you know what I’m talking about. The main takeaway from this episode: the first thing to do when you bring a plant home is to actually know what it is!

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/05/12

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/04/18

For the first half of the episode, check out the previous one - got cut off mid recording :) This one covers the nutrient deficit we often assume is a good idea for houseplants during the winter, and why that assumption doesn’t fit with their evolution in the tropics.

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/04/18

This one is a two-parter because my audio cut out halfway through :) This answers the “should we fertilize in winter” question with a more elegant solution, and also speaks to covering all the bases and giving your plants the ability to be more self-sustaining :)

Episode 310 - On “giving up houseplants” 🤣

The Houseplant Coach ·

2026/02/27

Has an internet jerk ever told you to give up on houseplants because you clearly suck at the hobby? Well, after 30 years with my own plants and 12+ years in the industry, apparently it’s time for me to quit. Or it would be if I listened to advice from some rando. So here’s me telling you not to quit - even after you killed the third philo brandi and swear you’ll never try again. Even after your whole collection gets mites because of that impulse calathea. Even after you forget another plant on that
