On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman shares four ways to care for your indoor plants that are strange, surprising, unexpected, and a little bit odd. Yet, ultimately, altogether helpful.  There are anxieties about how to take care of indoor plants. And I get it — there’s so much to know. How much light does a plant need? Where to place it in your home? How much water does it need? When do you prune it? When do you fertilize it? When do you repot? I mean, help help! It’s no wonder people are nervous.   If you listen to this podcast, you may have heard me say that for many years, I told myself the story that I don’t know how to take care of plants — until a couple of years ago when I said, no more. I’m no longer telling myself that I’m a plant killer. It was time to step up. So now, I’ve taken on the identity of a person with a green-ish thumb. And, so far, so good. It’s taken time along with some trial and error to keep my indoor plants alive. And it’s ever changing and ever evolving, but I guess that goes with the territory of taking care of something that’s alive. Thank goodness kids are heartier than plants if you know what I mean! While I’m still very much a beginner, I luckily work with experts at Hunker who know the ins and outs of caring for plants.  So, keep listening for four of my favorite slightly wacky ways to keep your plants alive and thriving.  LINKS TO THINGS TALKED ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE For the full article: Surprising and Delightfully Odd Ways to Keep Houseplants Alive Strangely, These Plants Love CoffeeSurprisingly, Kitty Litter Is Really Good for These Houseplants Unexpectedly, Some Houseplants Love MilkOddly, These Hacks Will Make Your Plants Thrive OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT LIKEBeing Home With the Plant Kween (Christopher Griffin)Being Home With a Plant Stylist (Hilton Carter)Being Home With an Original Interior Design Blogger (Dabito)Being Home With a Color-Loving Interior Designer (Rachel Moriarty)  MORE ABOUT LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANInstagram: @laurie.gunning.grossmanEmail: Laurie@hunker.comLinkedIn: @lauriegunninggrossmanTikTok: @laurie.gunning.grossman ABOUT THIS PODCAST For more information about this episode, or other podcast episodes, visit Hunker.com/podcast.This podcast is produced by Laurie Gunning Grossman.Being Home With Hunker is recorded and mixed at Night Shift Audio.Theme music by Jonathan Grossman.Show art designed by Mory Men. ABOUT HUNKERHunker inspires and empowers you to create a space that expresses who you are, shows off your unique style, and makes your life happier and more productive.Visit us, follow us, learn more.Website: HunkerInstagram: @hunkerhomeTikTok: @hunkerhomeFacebook: HunkerHomeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
