E01: We're Pregnant with Provenance, Birkin Drama, and the King's Orchid

Welcome to the very first episode of Prop Culture!

Jos and Tanya introduce the podcast's mission: to create a sustainable, connected plant community by sharing news, gossip, science, and the "plant tea".

In this episode:

Plant Provenance Launch: We soft-launch our flagship project—a platform to document collections, establish lineage, and fight plant misinformation.
2026 Trend Drama: We react to an article naming the Alocasia Silver Dragon and the infamous Philodendron Birkin as 2026's "IT" plants.
Gotta Catch 'Em All: Jos reveals the 13+ "String of..." plants you can collect, including String of Turtles and String of Dolphins.
Royal Approval: Jos shares the wild story of an orchid hybrid breeder awaiting permission from Buckingham Palace to use King Charles III's name.
Community Crisis: We talk about the massive Houseplant Lovers Addict Group with almost a million members and an inactive admin.
Future Plans: A look ahead at segments like Provenance Spotlight, Collectors Confessions, and an interview wish list that includes Monstera Stan and Dr. Block
