| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to On the Ledge podcast, episode 298, And today we're talking Thai constellation in all its glory. |
| 0:28.7 | Welcome to the show. My name is Jane Perrone and I am the host of On the Ledge podcast, the show that brings you everything you need to know about indoor gardening. |

| 0:40.0 | I wanted to say Hammer Time then, but I'm not going to. |
| 0:45.4 | I wanted to just say quickly that if you wanted to see this podcast in the form of a video podcast, |

| 2:17.9 | My name is Chris. I am one of the owners of pretty ingredient plants. I've been growing plants hydroponically for about 18 years now. In the last seven years or so, we switched over to rare aeroids and now I'm growing a lot of plants from tissue culture and doing our own tissue culture in-house. |
