What's going on everyone Kevin from Epic Gardening here? We're back again with

0:05.6

Karina of Sacred Elements and today we are talking more about house plants and

0:10.9

specifically we're talking about how Karina feels that, you know, house plants kind of need each other.

0:17.1

Why maybe you should consider growing house plants in clusters or arranging them in certain ways or you know why they might be helping each

0:25.9

other out to take care of themselves in a way so I think that's a really interesting

0:30.8

topic it's certainly something that could be a little out there.
