Description
Palms are one of the most enduringly popular houseplants: stars of the Victorian glasshouse, darlings of the art deco hotel dining room and now denizens of terrariums and terraces alike. This week's episode looks at some of the most commonly available palms to grow as houseplants, finds out how to look after them, and investigates some of the more unusual members of the clan. My guest, botanist Scott Zona, is a Miami, Florida-based palm expert: you can find him on Twitter as @Scott_Zona. And I answer a listener question about a cactus that's refusing to produce new prickles, with the help of British Cactus and Succulent Societypresident Colin Walker (who I interviewed back in episode 59).
