This week's on the ledge podcast is here to lighten your load quite literally. I'm Jane Perrone, host of podcast on the

ledge, your one-stop shop for all info and chat regarding houseplants and indoor gardening.

And in this week's show, I'm chatting to House Plant Journal, aka Darrell Chang, all about the topic of light.

How it affects your plants and how we've been talking about it all wrong all this time.

Plus, I answer a question about spikes and how to protect yourself from them.

In the gap between this episode and the last one,

On the Ledge celebrated its seventh birthday.

I did an Instagram live talking about what I have learned in those seven years,

which is worth going and checking out.

I'm at j.l.l.paron on Instagram. But yay me, made it through seven years.

And here's to many more episodes. Thank you to Julia for becoming a legend and for everyone

who supports my Patreon. And if you're a Patreon subscriber at the legend or superfan level,

there's a treat waiting for you there in the form of a video podcast of an extra leaf where I talk to Darrell Cheng about

light spectrums and it's really fascinating stuff so do check that out if you are eligible for

that content if you want to find out more about getting access to my Patreon,

you can do that at the show notes at janeperone.com.

And there is a free trial period.

So if you just wanted to join up to check out Daryl's wise words about Light Spectrum,

you can do that too.

Darrell Cheyng is the author of two books, the new plant

parent and his new book, the new plant collector, which comes out later this month. And when it comes

to science-based house plant care, Darrell is the goat. He knows his stuff and light is something that he particularly majors in.
