I'm Jane Perrone. This is on the Ledge podcast. How are you doing? Let's get the introductions out of the way and crack on with the show.

In this week's episode, I have the delight of going to visit Megan Webb,

aka Carnivorous Plant Girl, to find out all about her wonderful collection of carnivorous plants

from Saracenias and Drosar's to Pink Quiculus and, of course, the inimitable Venus flytrap.

And I answer a question about how to tell the difference between an aerial root and a new leaf on

Monstra Delaciosa.

Thanks for joining me this week. I hope you are having a good week. I wanted to tell you a couple of things before we get started, which were

as follows. Thank you to Kyna. I hope I'm pronouncing that right for leaving me a donation

on the platform whose name I probably have gotten wrong for the past six years. I call it co-dashfai.com.

Sometimes people call it coffee. But anyway, it's a place where you can make a one-off

donation to On the Ledge. So thank you so much for that. And Nancy became a legend after taking up

my offer of a seven-day free trial. Welcome, Nancy. And if you want to join, Kina or Nancy, then check out the show notes for details of

how to do so. Now, if you are not captivated by the world of carnivorous plants, then why are you

here? Because carnivorous plants for me are one of the most fascinating groups of plants that we can grow and I don't think I've

featured enough of them on the ledge. So I'm correcting that this week by visiting Megan Webb

who is at Carnivorous underscore plant underscore girl on Instagram. You can also find Megan at her YouTube channel of the same name.

So on a sunny Saturday recently, I visited Megan's Greenhouse to find out all about this fascinating

plant group.

I started the interview outside in Megan's Green greenhouse and in part two, we'll head

inside to find out how Megan's obsession with carnivorous plants started. And just to warn you,

it's a bit tricky in a greenhouse to get audio that doesn't have lots of background sound. So there is a

little bit of background sound.
