Hello, I'm Jane Perrone, this is On the Ledge, breathing life into your houseplants since 2017.

How are you diddling? I am in a state between heaven and hell, twas ever thus, but possibly slightly tilting towards hell this week after facing my first

ever infestation of, da-da-da-thrips.

Hmm, I think there's an episode coming up on this soon because the little so-and-sos have

sent me into a tailspin, but I will not be defeated.

The thrips are on the retreat and I shall have the upper hand.

Oh yes, I shall.

In this week's show, I'm on a mission to help you rescue moth orchids that look like they're on their way out.

And joining me is orchid revival expert Terry Richardson, aka the Black Thumb, to offer up all his expertise.

And I answer a question about large plants for a big

loft space. Before that, this. Thank you to Mary Bain in Bulgaria for leaving a lovely review for

on the ledge describing the show as the best podcast ever to exist.

I do love that kind of hyperbole. I'm living for it. Thank you to Mary Bain.

And to new superfan Sonia, who joined this week, unlocking extra content.

And as a super van, she also gets an exclusive

mail out which will be winging its way to you soon, Sonia. If you want to find out more about

how to get hold of those extra episodes, there's more than 60 of them now, visit the show

note to Jane Perrone.com or just go to patreon.com forward slash

on the ledge. A reminder, now I am still after your peons of praise for Dr. David Hesseon, author

of the house plant expert, the Bible we all still love after all these years, or perhaps we're newcomers to it. But either way,

this book is the Holy Grail of houseplants. So if you love this book and you want to say something

about why and how you love it, then I need your voice in an upcoming episode devoted to this book and its author. Just drop a voice
