  • Episode 310: OTL sowalong - pollinating and growing Anthuriums from seed with The Plant Parlour
    Apr 17 2026

    Gemma Haigh aka The Plant Parlour joins me to share her tips on how to pollinate and grow Anthuriums from seed, in the latest instalment of the OTL sowalong, my mission to get listeners growing houseplants from seed.

    Warning to listeners with children: this episode does not contain any swear words but discusses the sexual reproduction of plants, with a bit of sexual innuendo along the way. I'd say it's fine for teenagers and above, but parents, use your discretion!

    Two plants named after the pickle, both from South Africa, both succulents - and one episode of On The Ledge dedicated to them!

    In this episode I explain why I am restarting On The Ledge, what you can do to help, and why I love these two pickly plants.

  • OTL reloaded: leaf shine and cleaning leaves
    Jan 16 2026

    If your new plant has super-shiny leaves, it may have been treated with a leaf shine spray. I find out more about these products with Canadian garden writer Larry Hodgson, and discuss the best ways to clean plant leaves. Plus we hear from listener Beth.

    This episode of On The Ledge was first published in November 2020.

    In this mini-ep you'll hear a personal spooky story from my childhood. Who was the laughing man? Let me know your theories.
