Thank you. Hello and welcome to On the Ledge podcast, the podcast about house plants.

I'm your host, Jane Perrone.

Greetings to you all, whether you're a first-time listener or an OG fan.

I'm still in self-isolation here at On the Ledge Towers.

And my plants have been well and truly saving my sanity.

When I felt a bit stressed, I've been able to escape down to my

greenhouse to do some repotting of various plants and lots of propagating too so thank goodness for

plants in this week's show I'm going to be bringing you my talk from the leaf house plant festival

which encapsulates my five rules

for houseplants and also I answer some questions which hopefully will prove of interest.

Plus I'm answering a question about aphids, those darsely little creatures that cause problems with our houseplants, and finding

a little about their incredible life cycles.

Thank you to Kathy, who became a crazy plant person, Anne Maria, who became a legend this week.
