    Snake Plant Care: Find Joy with Thriving Sansevieria: Best of Growing Joy Replay
    Jan 8 2026
    I’ve been on an eight-year campaign to bring more attention and love to the plant we’re doing a deep dive on today, as you’ll find out. Because this plant, the snake plant (otherwise known as the san), is often touted as a low-light plant. But it wants to soak up the sun, plant friends. It deserves so much more than it gets.So today, we’re revisiting a favorite episode of mine with guest Chris Satch, which is a deep dive on snake plants, finally giving them a full episode to learn more about them: from their African roots to why they wrinkle, flop, or sometimes even bloom. Get ready for a joyful, myth-busting deep dive into the care structure and secret strengths of one of my favorite plants.Alright, plant friends. If today’s episode convinces you to let your snake plant finally bask in some well-deserved sunshine, just wait until you see how much happier (and how much chubbier) those leaves become when you put them in the light where they deserve to be.

  • Holistic Plant Care Projects for Kids: Best of Growing Joy Replay

    Holistic Plant Care Projects for Kids: Best of Growing Joy Replay
    Jan 1 2026
    I’m so excited to bring you today’s child-friendly episode with a dear friend of mine, Joe Dombrowski. You might know him as @mrDtimes3. He’s the classroom teacher who went viral several years ago and was featured on Ellen for doing a joke spelling bee with his kids. But Joe is actually a massive plant parent, and we became friends a couple of years ago because he listened to the podcast.When I learned that he was a teacher, I thought it would be so fun to do an episode together on child-friendly holistic plant care activities you can do with kids, whether they’re crafts or science-based activities, like teaching science, or just keeping your kids engaged and hands-on in the classroom or at home.I figured it would be a fun time to re-release this episode as part of the Best of Growing Joy series in December, when you probably have some kiddos home for vacation and are looking for a few things to do with them. Maybe one of these really creative plant projects that Joe talks about will help you out during your time off. In this episode, we learn:Joe and Maria remember their trip to the Amazon Spheres togetherJoe's opinion on kids going back to school[12:25] Project 1: Seed Germination in a Bag[19:50] Project 2: Sweet Potato Experiment and understanding the scientific processProject 3: Pothos Propagation 3 WaysProject 4: Fairy Gardens and TerrariumsProject 5: List of Interactive Plants for KidsJoe's list of his personal favorite plants in his collectionJoe's most recent plant parent win Which plant project are you excited to try first with the kids?Check out the full show notes and blog for all the kid-friendly plant activities and tips to get growing together!
