Report
Here’s a special late-night edition of Growing Joy with Plants: After Dark where I spill the planty tea and share a cocktail with my two incredible plant friends, Agatha Isabel and Kamili Bell Hill. You might know Kamili as @plantblerd on Instagram and Agatha as @agathatisabel on Instagram. They've been my real-life plant friends for years, and we recently had a blast at the New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show—and had a sleepover at Kamili's house the night before, which resulted in this episode! This is a candid chat as we dish the dirt on everything from embarrassing plant parent moments to the real talk about representation in the plant community.In this episode, we learn:[00:53] Growing Joy After Dark: Real conversations about plant parenthood[02:18] Plant connections and friendships![05:36] What has their collection looked like over time?[11:18] What is the dark side of plant collecting?[13:37] Get a personalized wind chime![15:11] Safe, high-quality potting mixes and fertilizers[20:29] What are their favorite plant species?[23:33] Plant care tips and humidity hacks[26:24] Grow houseplants even in low-light spaces[27:57] What is the balance between the joy and stress of plant care?[30:56] Taking care of plants when traveling[32:42] Resilient plants and hoyas[33:25] Some plant disaster stories[37:16] What's the craziest plant experiment they’ve done?[39:34] What are the signs of being a true "plant parent"[51:21] Where to find Agatha and Kamili on social mediaMentioned in our conversation:The Orchid Show: Florals in Fashion | New York Botanical GardenSummer Rayne OakesBad Seeds on Apple PodcastsBad Seeds on SpotifyHappy Plants, Happy You by Kamili Bell HillHouseplant Hookups by Agatha IsabelFor our truest, deepest thoughts on plant parenthood,check out the full show notes and blog here!Follow Agatha:WebsitePlant Ma ShopInstagramEventsFollow Kamili:LinktreeInstagramTikTokPinterestThank you to our episode sponsors:Wind River ChimesVisit windriverchimes.com and use code GROWINGJOY to receive free engraving on your chosen wind chimes.Espoma OrganicVisit espoma.com to find your local Espoma dealer or check my Amazon storefront.Soltech SolutionsCheck them out at soltechsolutions.com and get 15% off with code "bloom15".Follow Maria and Growing Joy:Order my book: Growing Joy: The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants) by Maria Failla, Illustrated by Samantha LeungJoin the Bloom and Grow Garden Party Community Platform & App AKA the plantiest and kindest corner of the internet!
