It's time to sow some seeds and shoot the breeze about Hoya trends in this episode; plus I answer a question about two very similar-looking variegated houseplants: one rather rarer than the other.

0:00.0	Get your headphones or your earbuds on, get the kettle on boil, and relax with another episode of On the Ledge.
0:30.0	Hello, how you doing? It's Jane Perrone here, your podcast host and house plant enthusiast from the dear old United Kingdom.
0:42.6	In this week's show, I'm going to be shooting the breeze with you while I kick off my own
0:48.7	personal on the ledge sew along, talking about some of my techniques I use for sewing seeds, what you need to get
0:57.2	together if you want to be part of the on the ledge sew along, and also discussing some of the
1:03.0	potential trends and key plants of 2021. Plus, I'm answering a question about the differences between the rubber plant and the
1:15.9	bird catcher plant. Trust me, you don't want to get these two mixed up. A clutch of new reviews have
1:26.2	come through. We'll get more plants in Canada. Love the honest name there.
1:31.6	El Jusalv in Sweden and Joe with plants in the US, all left lovely reviews. And a book lover in the USA described on the ledge as being as relaxing and therapeutic as watching the Great British Bake Off.

2:24.9	very flattered to be compared to one of my favourite TV shows, The Great British Bake Off. My kids keep telling me I should go on the show. I keep pointing out that I'm all about the flavours,
2:29.6	but my decoration is far from great. I'll have to post a picture one day of the strawberry spider
2:37.4	cake. I made my daughter for her birthday when she was about six. It's, um, it looks like it was made by a
2:43.1	six year old, quite frankly. Thanks also to Tracy in Hobart, Australia, for getting in touch to talk
2:49.4	to me about vintage planters and say how much she
2:52.9	loves tracking down cool planters for her house plants. Me too. And one of the things I'm really
