What plants are great in low-light homes? That’s one of the most common plant questions that I get asked a lot. It’s popular because a lot of us don’t have those floor-to-ceiling windows that we often see on Pinterest and Instagram. The majority of us just have normal, low-light homes. Even my new house in Florida is actually extremely low-light! But of course, we all want our indoor garden to grow well, no matter what our lighting circumstances are. So here’s another Proven Winners episode to teach you how to choose the right low-light plants for your space and all the tips you need to know to make sure you’re taking good care of them.

  • [03:30] Why low-light plants are popular
  • [04:07] Why you should check out snake & ZZ plants!
  • [05:25] How we overestimate the amount of light in our homes

I can't believe we're already in 2025, but I am SO excited to spill all the tea about my wild plant experiment from last year.

Plant friends, did you know your houseplants can double as pest control? Carnivorous plants don’t just survive—they hunt. Venus flytraps can snap down on unsuspecting flies, while pitcher plants lure bugs into their slippery traps. These carnivorous plants themselves are nature’s own pest management system. So I’ve brought on a guest who knows everything there is to know about them: Kenny Coogan, the head of education at the International Carnivorous Plant Society . Kenny has been growing carnivorous plants for about 20 years, and about five years ago, he joined the ICPS as the education director. He quit his day job and turned his passion into his profession, running a carnivorous plant nursery in Florida. As he puts it, "Carnivorous plants are my life." In this episode, we learn: [01:47] What’s not to love about carnivorous plants? [04:52] Who is Kenny? [08:01] Some facts about Venus flytraps [09:57] What is a carnivorous plant? [12:54] Where do we find carnivorous plants outdoors? [15:36] Don’t let your houseplants wither this winter with Soltech Growlights! [16:57] Nourish your houseplants with Espoma Organic’s gentle and premium fertilizers! [18:57] What triggers carnivorous plants’ dormancy? [19:57] What carnivorous plants do to their prey [24:17] Specific care for temperate carnivorous plants [27:31] Specific care for tropical carnivorous plants [32:43] Can you feed carnivorous plants hamburger? (how to hand-feed them) [36:41] Trigger mechanism of Venus flytraps [38:48] How much light do Venus flytraps love? [42:58] What are the best houseplant-friendly carnivorous plants? [48:26] Watering and potting tips for carnivorous plants [50:30] Common mistakes and troubleshooting Mentioned in our conversation: International Carnivorous Plant Society ICPS Classroom Grants Verdant Lyfe Venus Fly Traps & More Carnivorous Plants Florida's Carnivorous Plants: Understanding, Identifying, and Cultivating the State's Native Species by Kenny Coogan Little Shop of Horrors (1986) - IMDb Carnivorous Plants Animated Series by ICPS Carnivorex 3D printer model programs | ICPS For carnivorous plants' care basics and feeding tips, check out the full show notes and blog here!

As the winter solstice–or the longest night of the year–approaches, how does it reflect and represent you?

She shared with me how the winter solstice can help us honor cycles of rest and renewal. It was a lovely way to end a year of seasonal explorations, covering everything from the practical ways we can live in harmony with the season to what the quiet time of winter can teach us.

Why are plants the perfect holiday gift? Plants symbolize so many things such as growth, life, and connection, so it only makes sense that we want our giftee to feel this. And unlike typical presents, if you pick just the right plant for whoever you’re gifting it to, trust that this will continue to grow and evolve long after the holiday season is gone—making them think of you every time they look at it. But if you’re not careful (and well-informed), that gift could turn into a time bomb of wilting leaves and shattered dreams. And before you know it, your giftee is calling themselves a plant killer. So this episode is all about a holiday houseplant gift guide that avoids the classic plant gifting pitfalls. In this episode, we learn: [03:45] Why do plants make the best gift? [04:52] What’s the biggest issue about gifting plants? [06:37] Why choose low-light plants as gifts? [07:21] How can you make plant gifting fun? [07:35] #1 Personalized terrariums [10:28] #2 Kokedama [12:33] Perfect plants to gift to your loved ones! [12:44] Perfect plant gift for mindful plant parents [13:38] Perfect plant gift for curious collector plant parents [14:36] Perfect plant gift for design-based plant parents [15:16] Perfect plant gift for urban farmer plant parents [16:09] Perfect plant gift for low-maintenance plant parents Mentioned in our conversation: Proven Winners leafjoy™ H20 Collection What's Your Plant Parent Personality? - Growing Joy with Maria Growing Joy Ep 261: The Best Low Light Plants for Dim Spaces Youtube video: HOW TO MAKE A TERRARIUM - Step-by-Step DIY Terrarium Tutorial!

What plants are great in low-light homes? That’s one of the most common plant questions that I get asked a lot. It’s popular because a lot of us don’t have those floor-to-ceiling windows that we often see on Pinterest and Instagram. The majority of us just have normal, low-light homes. Even my new house in Florida is actually extremely low-light! But of course, we all want our indoor garden to grow well, no matter what our lighting circumstances are. So here’s another Proven Winners episode to teach you how to choose the right low-light plants for your space and all the tips you need to know to make sure you’re taking good care of them. In this episode, we learn: [02:34] What is a low light (tolerant) plant? [03:30] Why low-light plants are popular [04:07] Why you should check out snake & ZZ plants! [05:25] How we overestimate the amount of light in our homes [08:13] Take my Plant Parent Personality™ test [08:35] Importance of rotating pots for low-light plants [10:01] Keep your plant's leaves clean [11:02] #1 Ferns [14:54] #2 Prayer plants [17:00] #3 Monstera [17:33] #4 Photos [19:13] #5 Dracaena [19:52] #6 Philodendron [21:20] Check out Proven Winner’s H2O Line!

What makes your local garden center feel so special? Don’t you notice that there’s something magical about them? It’s kinda shocking how little we understand as consumers about all the effort that goes into getting plants to us and onto our windowsills. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes at the Garden Center that we don't know about. That's why I'm committed to having more people on this podcast to peel back the curtain of the horticulture industry and help us better understand how our plants get to us. I'm excited to share my conversation with Jessie Jacobson of Tonkadale Greenhouse in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Jessie is an example of what a passionate multi-generational family business can look like. In this episode, we learn: [04:38] What is the story behind Tonkadale Greenhouse? [08:37] Growing vs selling plants [12:03] How does the business keep up with modern times? [14:01] What are the mission, vision, and core values of Tonkadale? [15:27] Gift peace and joy this season with Wind River Chimes! [17:05] Give your houseplants the organic love they deserve with Espoma! [20:34] What does Jessie’s day look like as a garden center owner? [23:33] Ordering and planning in gardening [25:08] Why you should always visit an independent garden center [26:26] Seasonal revenue + challenges [30:25] Be a better low-maintenance plant parent with Crescent Garden TrueDrop Self-Watering Planters! [32:37] What keeps Jessie motivated? (aka the joy of gardening) [36:26] What advice can Jessie give to aspiring garden center owners? [41:20] What’s next for Tonkadale Greenhouse?
