During the pandemic, we were inspired to bring a taste of the outside world into our homes by filling them with potted plants. But how do we take care of our new plant babies? Today, we have notable plant and interior stylist on the show, Hilton Carter, to help us answer this question and more!
Since his plant fascination started back in 2014, Hilton has written three books (Wild Interiors, Wild Creations, Wild at Home), started a podcast and launched workshops surrounding plant care, and even launched a product line with Target. Today, Hilton has over 250 plants and counting in his family's Baltimore home. Listen in as we talk about the worst plant parent behaviors, the benefits of faux plants and everything in between with our friend, Hilton Carter.
