Hello everyone, welcome back to Tiny Plant Week here on the Epic Gardening Podcast.

We are joined by Leslie Hallock, a professional horticulturist, and also the author of many

books, the one that we're talking about this week is Tiny Plants.

It's one of the joys of growing and collecting itty bitty houseplants, and so Leslie yesterday

we talked about how tiny plants exist, I guess it would be the best way to put it in

where they thrive and why they thrive, but if I'm not so much interested in the botany

of it and I just actually want to grow some on my windowsill, you have some good options

for us, right?

Yeah, in tiny plants I go into a lot of different information when it comes to the specific

plant features.

I've broken that out into two main sections, tiny windowsill plants, and then tiny plants

for underglass, which we'll talk about later, and essentially what we're doing is dividing

these plants up between the relative humidity levels that they need to grow in, right?

So out on the windowsill in the open, these are going to be plants that typically thrive

in a normal home humidity, which for many people is usually somewhere in the range of

30 to 50-ish percent, depending on where you live, of course, if you live in a climate

that has naturally higher humidity, your home may be more humid.

However, if you're running HVAC systems, and you're pulling moisture out of the air all

the time, then you may be at a lower relative humidity.

So tiny plants that grow in tiny pots with tiny root systems may need to be watered more

often.

So for higher humidity species or heavy epiphytes, keeping them out in the open can be a little
