Home of Houseplants is presented by Jo Howski, an avid collector of weird and wonderful indoor plants, in particular aroids. Jo interviews all manner of guests that have some nexus to indoor plants, across Australia. This podcast is not about providing advice on practical problems, but seeks to find out more about the interesting characters who play some role in the wonderful world of houseplants, from the hobbyist, the owner of a specialist indoor plant shop or even the owner of a huge private arboretum in tropical far North Queensland, dedicated to aroids.
Join Jo on this audio adventure!
Jo is joined once again by her husband John, co owner of Home of Houseplants to update listeners on their absence over the last 6 months. The impact of COVID-19 on indoor plant sales in Australia and a shock cancer diagnosis are just some of the reasons discussed for their absence from making podcasts. Join Jo for this quick update to find out what is in store for 2021.
