Every plant has a story—and in this episode, we’re sharing ours. From the clearance rack rescues to the gifted cuttings that grew into something special, we’re telling the origin stories of the plants that fill our homes and hearts.

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.

EP96-Shaming Our Plants
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.
