Episode 40: Plant Pest Geek-out, with Miles Jonard

Pull up a chair for a geeky chat about houseplant pests with one of our favorite local experts, tackling everything from spider mites to multi-syllabic chemical names. After a quick detour discussing plants that look like body parts (like our new mascots!), we tackle the worst pests for your urban jungle, how to prevent, identify, treat, and then continue to re-treat, until you finally come to terms with your indoor ecosystem! Are the Plant Daddies gleeful about each other's pest stories? You be the judge!

Great Info & Hilarious Folks

I work in a nursery & especially love this episode. The approaches they take towards pest management are considerate & realistic. It’s also just so wonderful to hear some commiseration on what these bugs do to our plant pals but it’s an inevitable part of the ecosystems we’ve created/creating. I was caught laughing out loud at least a couple times through this podcast!
