Vicki: Plant Heritage was founded in the 1970s and its aims then were to ensure that the incredible diversity of cultivated plants that we have in this country remain available for generations to come. Can you give us a potted history of Plant Heritage? Jane: I have an audience of global proportions, so lots of people perhaps aren't fully aware of what Plant Heritage here in the UK is, or what you do. Vicki: My name is Vicki Cooke and I'm the Conservation Manager here at Plant Heritage. So, I thought I would give Plant Heritage a call and find out a little bit more about what being a national collection holder involves. Among those missing genera were two that we, as houseplant lovers, know all about and that's Hoya and Tradescantia. For example, the Peperomia collection of Sally Williams and Mercy Morris' Spider Plant collection Chlorophytum comosum, but what are these national collections and what do they do? I got a press release this week from the charity Plant Heritage, who run the national collection scheme here in the UK, telling me that they were on the hunt for national collection holders for some missing genera. Jane: If you are a regular listener to the show you will know that I have visited various national collections of houseplants.

I'm j.l.perrone and there you can see my regular IGTV videos #PerronesPlants where I talk about different plants from my collection and waffle on for five minutes about them and it's just a way of seeing my smiling face and getting a bit more content from a houseplant person such as myself. If you're not following me on Instagram, head on over there. Do check that out if you're interested in supporting the show via a little bit of a treat for yourself. Basically, there's two versions of the show logo, either the monochrome or the bi-colour greens and there's also the Jane and Wolfie illustration which you can get on many items too. Some of you have already taken advantage of this to get yourself a lovely T-shirt or hoodie, or even a dog bandana.

I've also finally worked out how to set up a US version of my merch shop, so if you have been holding back on getting an On The Ledge T-shirt, or mouse mat, or button badge because it was a bit expensive to ship from Europe, now is your opportunity! If you visit my website and click on the shop link in the top right hand corner, when you go there you should now be offered the opportunity to head to the US version of the site, with prices in US dollars and shipping priced accordingly. Amanda, your exclusive postcard should be winging its way to you right now. Thank you to JoyfulPlantMom, in the US, for leaving a review for On The Ledge on Apple Podcasts, and to Jan for becoming a Ledge-End by signing up for Patreon and to Amanda who upped her pledge to become a Super Fan. Listen out for that because it's going to be fun. Everyone slightly takes a nervous intake of breath at this point! I've decided that because everyone thinks that my voice is so relaxing, I've picked a book from the 1800s about indoor gardening and I'm going to read some of it in an episode coming up and it's an exercise in relaxation, how everyone finds it, whether it's something you might want to fall asleep to, or de-stress to of an evening, so we'll give that a try after I'm back from my break. It's actually given me an idea, this email, Marcus. I think you've done a pretty darn good job of doing that yourself, Marcus, but thank you for supporting the show and listening while you're driving and while you're at work. For the first time in my life I'm following my passions.' I don't think I need to validate your choice of career. Marcus said: 'Thank you for validating my choice of career. Thank you also to Marcus who got in touch to tell me about how much he appreciated the Hilton Carter and Tyler Thrasher episodes and Marcus is just starting to study horticulture formally for the first time, at the age of 41, but finds that, as a black man, he's often the only one in the room. I'll be back on 7th August with my 150th episode of On The Ledge. Just a reminder that there's no show 24th or 31st July. More leaf botany episodes are on their way after my two-week break. Jane: Thanks to all of you who said how much you enjoyed the CAM and guttation episode of last week with Polly Schiffman. In the show today we find out how you could become the custodian of two important house plant genera and I offer up a clutch of top tips about terrariums. Jane: 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? Houseplants! Yes, it's Jane Perrone here with On The Ledge, celebrating houseplants since 2017.
