Episode 192: houseplants and mental health Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

Plants can boost your mental health - but it's easy to let your leafy obsession tip over into a damaging habit that impacts your wellbeing. I chat to Mental health nurse Amy March about how to deal with houseplant overwhelm, whether plant bans are a good thing, and how to develop healthy houseplant buying habits. Plus we hear from listener Ana Cristina and I answer a question about a bird's nest fern. For full show notes visit https://www.janeperrone.com/on-the-ledge/houseplants-mental-health
