New to the plant world. I’ve hyper fixated on things in the past and this is a new one for me. I’ve had so much fun learning about plants and this show has made it super easy for me to learn. I just put my headphones in and listen on my way to work, at work, on the light rail and on my way home! Her voice is so sweet and soft and easy to listen to. I’ve learned so much! Thank you!

I LOVE your podcast! I love listening to it to help me take care of all of my plants. I did not know how to take care of most of my plants before I discovered your podcast. I just started getting into plants and I have learned so much from you! You explain things in such a great way! Thank you so much for all that you do! I was also wondering if you could do an episode on fungus flies in house plants and how to get rid of them. I have been struggling with them and I would love so guidance! Thank you so much!

I’m a reptile breeder that recently started to incorporate plants in my enclosures so thank you for helping to educate me 🤘🏻

Rachel seems like such a nice person. She breaks down topics so they are understandable for a newbie, but they are still interesting if one knows a lot about plants. I started listening when I had two plants. Now I have 80. I am still interested. Thanks!

Love love love the Plant School podcast. I always learn something new and in a fun and digestible way. The pothos episode was great. I love pothos and have marble queen, golden, p&j, n’joy, neon, and several other epipremnum pinnatum varieties. Thanks for the show!

Ive had pothos plants for years but I just bought a golden variegated pothos this week! I had no idea the pothos we know and love in our homes is only the juvenile phase of the plant- thanks for sharing some less commonly known facts so I can be a better houseplant know-it-all 😉

I’m only about a year into my plant Era and I’m so happy to have found this podcast! I’ve learned so much and without all the mumbo jumbo nonsense! I’m addicted! I’m learning so much, my favorite part is getting to the point and offering a little bit of history into the plant or topic of the day before jumping in! It’s made me more confident about being a plant parent! Thanks!

Love this podcast so much! The layout and execution is phenomenal!!! Diving into the nomenclature and brief background of the plants is just informative enough to not overload your brain!!!!

Plant school is a very educational podcast with all kinds of plant information

A soothing addition to my plant care routine and education. Highly recommend.

This podcast has been great for me as I begin my houseplant journey! I highly recommend.

I love this podcast! I’ve been listening since I started taking care of plants. I love how easy they make it to learn how to take care of our plant babies. The episodes are a perfect length with getting to the point. I also like the brief history thrown in each episode. I love my variegated pothos, philodendron, rubber tree, and begonia! All which are doing well thanks to this podcast!

I enjoy listening to this podcast, not only because it is very informative but Rachel is very calming to listen to. I have learned so much and look forward to future episodes!

I love the research and resources Plant School Podcast provides! Thank you for putting in so much work into this podcast. I love it!

I am glad I found your podcast . I have a whole plant room & have had gardens since I was little . I also have a plant board game called photosynthesis !

Plants are one of my favorite things but I am really bad at growing them so I recently got an Aerogarden and it is going great, I currently have basil, parsley, and dill growing. Maybe you should try it if you haven’t already

I’ve always loved plants but recently started researching more of how to take care of them and have become obsessed. Rachel’s podcast is so informative and easy listening! I binged the last two years of episodes in one weekend and look forward to continuing to listen! Thanks so much :)

I am so glad that I found this podcast, I have been struggling with a lot of my houseplants and this is the first podcast that I have found that really goes into detail about how to care for each plant and really answered all of my questions! 🪴🌿🌻

I love this podcast, it’s so genuine and very informative. I would highly recommend.

I listen to you every morning, while I sit with my plants/ taking care of my plants🌱🌻🐝. You’re voice is so soothing and you’re very informative. Which is hard to come by, bless your heart, family and your beautiful podcast 🧡🐝 thank so much.

This podcast is so good for plant lover💕💕💕💕💕do more #plant lover 🌻🌼🌼🌸🌺🪷🌷🪻💐🥀🌹🍄‍🟫🍄🍁🍂🍃🎋🪴🌱☘️🌿🍀🎍🪵🌴🌳🌲🎄

My nickname is Plantman this podcast is amazing I love it I am a bonsai guy but I have others but my fav I my ficus gensing thank you bye

I just found this podcast and let me just tell you… this has SAVED my life!! I am just getting back into taking care of plants and this podcast has been soooo helpful 🫶🏼 I have never liked ferns but listening to the episode on ferns makes me like them a little bit more!! Thank you for doing this podcast and helping me get back into plants!!

I just started listening to this podcast and I love it! It’s so easy to listen to as I do things around the house! As a relatively new plant parent it’s easy to understand. I love how thorough she is and explains things so well! Definitely my current favorite podcast!

I recently found this podcast and it’s SO HELPFUL. Super informative but also fun to listen to!!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a year, and it never ceases to inspire me! I love how approachable all the advice is, and I enjoy learning about the history of certain plants as well. Any time I want to listen to something cozy yet informative, I turn to this podcast! It always makes me happy. I’ve been wanting an alocasia for awhile now, but the recent episode made me all the more confident to take the plunge and get one! Can’t wait for more episodes! :D

This is my favorite podcast I’ve actually never done a review before I love this my favorite plants are the carnivorous ones. I wish I could give a higher rating!

I discovered this podcast after I recently got into houseplants. in the past, I’ve been a plant killer. My husband is a fantastic gardener, but is currently fighting cancer. visiting greenhouses and bringing greenery indoors has been some thing we can do together as he heals, and this show is so relaxing and informative. It’s been a perfect support system for my new hobby during a difficult time. So thanks!

This podcast is just what I’m looking for as I expand my plant collection and really up my propagations. I’ve shared this app with friends and family after listening to several episodes. I’d really like to learn more about ferns and pests; I just bought a couple secondhand plants that came with hosts. I treated and isolated. Thankfully I haven’t had to deal with pests before, but when I began encountering these I feared for my other plants. Thank you for all your help and the wide scope you show with the history, meaning, importance, care, and growth of plants! Will keep recommending!

As a complete beginner I really enjoy this podcast because I can understand it! I e tried several that said they were for beginners and I was so lost in the first fifteen minutes of an episode that I quit because it definitely required some previous knowledge. This podcast is easily digestible and the host is great at explaining further for those more advanced topics. As someone who never had any luck with ANY plant in my youth, I am surprised to hear that the plants I’ve had luck with keeping alive (orchids and calatheas) are considered difficult plants! Started with a gifted orchid, put it in a sunny bathroom window and forgot about it... A winning recipe apparently. Then I got a rattlesnake calathea and treated it similarly…. It flourished. I’ve had both of these for years now and they are doing great! Expanded my calathea collection to include a furry feather, medallion and herringbone.. all thriving in my bathroom window. Now I’m in to a huge peace lily and everyone asks me how I am keeping it alive. Guess I have a knack for the difficult ones…?

Your voice is so soothing I just want to hear what you sound like when you’re angry haha ! Thanks for all the great information! I just found your podcast but I can’t stop listening!

I find myself constantly adjusting my plants after listening to these episodes. Just small adjustments after listening to a care guide or changing their pots or soil when I hear a new bit of info. Love this, have and would recommend

I love plants! I recently started building my plant collection, which is proving to be slightly difficult with my low-light conditions. I just found this podcast and so far (after 3 episodes) I love it! She has so great advice and ideas!

I just found this podcast and the first one I listened to was the menstrual blood one! I loved it and now I’m addicted and have listened to many more episodes! I would love to hear an episode on spider plants if you can! Thank you for helping me keep my babies alive!

I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning & still love it so much!! I’ve learned so much about plants and have been able to grow my plant collection due to all the knowledge provided. Rachel‘s voice is also so soothing an amazing to listen to. would absolutely recommend this podcast to anybody whether you know about plants or not. 🤍🪴

I have listened to a lot of plant podcasts with a lot of the same information. This podcast immediately felt so Fresh. I LOVE the different planty topics this podcast has as well as the new information I am learning from familiar topics and plants species. This is definitely my new binge obsession.

Hi Rachel! I really enjoy listening to your podcasts and you have great information on the plants you cover! I have recommended your podcast to some of my friends that I have given cuttings to and they are inspired to build a relationship with plants as well. You have a really calming voice presence and it’s nice to listen to driving through the hustle and bustle of the big city during my morning commute. Thanks for sharing your plant knowledge with us all!

Hi Rachel! My love of plants has been re-sparked recently and I found your podcast. I love learning about the history and care tips for my new house plants. From jade and burros tail to money tree and zz’s, thanks for covering it all. P.S. my name is Mel :)

I have been listening to this show for a while now as I began my love story with plants a couple years ago. I have a lot to learn and this show answers so many of my questions! The host is very easy to listen to and she does a great job on interviews as well as solo shows. I highly recommend this show whether you are new or old to plants. There’s always more to learn and she keeps it interesting!

This was my first episode and I really enjoyed it. We spent about 2 hours last night “Dexterizing” my screen porch with heavy duty shower curtain liners so combat our unseasonable cold weather we are experiencing in central Florida. I was delighted to hear the majority of the 150 or so plants that live out there were on the cold tolerant list. I’ve got the humidifier set up to keep them happy on days where we stay under 50 degrees and I can’t roll back the plastic. I plan on bringing my more rare ($$) tropicals inside for extra protection😬

Hi Rachel, I’m a pretty new listener, a couple weeks in now, and I’m really enjoying your podcast. You give great plant advice. I just finished your most recent episode about bad plant advice and could have listened to an hour more of that. It’s beneficial to hear what actually works and what is total nonsense. Thank you for what you do!

HI you do a great job on supplying people with great info on plants! You should definitely pick me for the drawing 😊 😆 My Name is Selah Larrabee

Criteria for audio rating: Sonorous, loud, full and rich, projection of voice, crisp & clear. 5 of 5 meets all criteria. If listener has to strain to hear speaker, 0 out of 5. I also consider how effectively speaker makes use of time; i.e., long pauses, lots of uuums and uuuuhs, deviation from point, beating around the bush, and general elocution. About 99% emphasis on audio quality. I use podcast Money Matters with Ken Moraif as 100% standard of AUDIO SOUND QUALITY ONLY, that gets 5 out of 5 rating. Criteria for content: how is this info unique and different from what I can glean from a google search? What advantage can I gain that I can’t from google search? If info is unique & helps elucidate complex and esoteric ideas, gets 5 out of 5. If info is just stuff that can be pretty much read off google searches, gets 0 out of 5. I place 1% emphasis on content (good info is useless if can’t be heard or understood). Audio for this podcast is 2⁄5. Speaker is soft spoken, sounds diffident and timorous; I have to somewhat strain to hear what she’s saying. Poor projection of voice. Speaker’s voice is pleasant; pleasing to ears, and is considerate of listener’s time. Content rating: 0 out of 5. Info can pretty much be read from a google search. This podcast lacks explanation on botanical aspects of plants; i.e., how photosynthesis is performed, difference between C4 & C3 plants, chemical composition, elucidation of respiration process, transpiration, etc. Basically devoid of plant anatomy and physiology explanation, and hence devoid of higher cognitive function. In general: I wouldn’t waste my time on this podcast.

I just found this show on Spotify, and I just had to come to apple podcast to write a review. I love how the care guides go further than normal care guides. Rachel really does the research and talks about where they originate, what they symbolize, their history and obviously normal care like how to deal with pests, watering, and propagating! Rachel has a very calming voice and i truly enjoy listening to this podcast while working ❤️ crazy how she adds so much info but the episodes aren’t super long! ❤️🙌🏽🌱

I’m loving this podcast😍 I love everything planty and this has been so fun to listen to

I love this podcast, especially the care guide episodes. Learning the history and meaning behind each plant is fascinating!

Every episode is as entertaining as it is educational and informative, I love listening while driving, working, and while falling asleep. You are great! Keep up the hard work and amazing episodes!

Last April I bought myself a philodendron and had been taking excellent care of it and decided to branch out to other plants but had been having a hard time knowning what their needs were, and accidentally killed a Pilea glauca in the process. I wanted to give up but then I started listening to this podcast at work and decided to keep on trying. The episode where Rachel’s mother was on the podcast inspired me to keep on trying and that everyone makes mistakes when they first start out. She offers excellent advice and I love hearing what she has to say, her voice is so calming and listening to this podcast helps calm me down when I’m anxious. On top of this I love it when she goes off on tangents on the history of all these plants, I feel like on top of plant knowledge I’m also gaining some random history facts I can impress all my friends with. :) Thank you Rachel and I hope you keep this podcast up.

I'm in northeast Florida and plant obsessed! Love tuning into your podcast. Thank you for your knowledge and your kindness of sharing.

I just started really getting into and collecting plants. I looked through the pod cast and chose yours because some many of your topics were on plants that I just got. It has been super helpful. I listened to the flowering plant episode and now will be adding a few of those to my collection. I didn’t see this topic but if you did cover this I apologize in advance. I would love an episode on what makes a plant rare what to look for and the best way to buy one. Whether that be a leaf cutting, node, tissue, etc. Thanks for all your work Lauren
