So I know we've talked about the subsect of the plant community that are allocatia lovers,

and yes, they are diehards, but of equal passion and plant nerd diness are the Anthurium lovers.

And I have noticed in particular a surge in interest in anthonyms in our community over the last couple of years.

And no one likes anthonyms more than Cass of plant-addicted cass who joins us today.

She has such an inspiring story of how she's overcome adversity and also become a full-time

plant lady.

And she is the Anthurium queen. She has hybridized

anthoriums. She knows how to take one Anthurium plant and make many more by literally

getting them to seed and getting those seeds to grow. This is something that not many people do

in the house plant community, but people in the Anthurium community do a lot. So I knew I wanted to

bring someone who is super well-versed on how to do it to our audience so that if you want to take

your plant nerdiness to the next level, you have a great guide helping you out. So without further

do, let's nerd out with cats.

Welcome to the Growing Joy with Plants podcast, where we not only learn how to care for plants successfully, but how to simply and affordably use our plant babies to cultivate

more joy in our lives by doing so. I'm Maria, former plant killer turned happy plant lady,

author of Growing Joy, The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness,

speaker, podcaster, and most importantly, your new best plant friend.

On Growing Joy with Plants,

you'll find conversations about house plant care,

gardening tutorials, and wellness through the lens of plants.

Plant care is self-care on growing joy.

Welcome, my new friend.
