    Episode 305 - Hoya blooming variables and what actually counts as science
    Jan 9 2026
    Today’s plant chat is about plant care variables, specifically how to determine if someone’s prescriptive advice is actual fact or if it’s based on insufficient information.

    Unless advice is based on repeat instances of a plant’s behavior (like blooming, wilting, etc) with many plants of that particular species, all variables are accounted for, AND the result is repeatable (i.e. you can make any plant of that species do it again), informational is anecdotal and shouldn’t be treated as fact. Even my results! If they’re based on a sample size of 1 plant, EVEN IF I can show consistency in behavior, until I control variables and do this with many plants of the same species, this is not true science :)

    If you want to add to the (anecdotal!) results that V’s Mix is getting with hundreds of other customers, try it this month for FREE! Spend $50 at ohhappyplants.shop, get a free quart of V’s Mix! Sale starts 1/10/26.

    Episode 304 - Herbs for self-nourishment so we can keep fighting the good fight.
    Jan 8 2026
    Today I ran across someone feeling hopeless and helpless - feeling that their small impact wasn’t enough. We ALL can move the needle if each of us keeps up the work. So it was time for a chat about herbs that can help us keep our heads up. As always, check with your doctor (and pharmacist!) for advice and interactions before using any herb.

    If you want to skip straight to the herbs, go to the 33.5 minute mark.

    Also, V’s Mix is going on sale again this month - spend $50, get a free quart! Sale starts Saturday, January 10th (or maybe today, if I get to it). Https://OhHappyPlants.shop
