Customer Reviews
New Listener!
It’s great, I’m a keen gardener and new houseplant collecter although I have been caring for orchids for several years. This is a great podcast!!
My houseplant podcast bible
I’ve been seriously into houseplants for five years now, having always grown up around houseplants too. I do a lot of research before buying a plant and I’m pretty good at keeping most houseplants happy. But I learn so much more all the time from listening to On The Ledge podcast and taking part in #houseplanthour on Twitter. Whenever I want to know more about a particular plant or growing technique, I search for the relevant podcast immediately. (Note to self, must sign up to patreon soon!) On The Ledge has introduced me to lots of new planty people to follow, planr societies, and other podcasts. Anyone seriously into houseplants, especially in the UK, needs to listen to On The Ledge religiously! My houseplant podcast bible.
The perfect companion for you and your house plants
Love this show! Can't recommend it enough if you have any plants at all it's essential listening. Informative, educational and entertaining - a lovely way to spend an hour or so whilst fiddling with your ficus or grappling with your geoppertia!!! Be warned though - you will buy more plants!!!!
