Hi, everybody. It's Joe Lampel, the Joe behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe Gardner show.

Well, we're still in winter. Snowstorms abound. It's cold and not much we can do outside yet,

which is why this time of year we always come up with some really good topics around houseplants.

And this time, we're doing one we have never done before, but house plant propagation.

And we're doing it with a very talented Lindsay Sisti. Lindsay is a forever student of life,

but she has a passion for plant breeding, particularly with houseplants. And she even holds a

U.S. patent that she acquired in 2023 when she created Alucasia green unicorn, and she's actively

breeding other plants as well. She has an online shop and a social media brand all by the same

name, all the plant babies. And no surprise, she's into this kind of thing. She's the daughter of a

microbiologist and doctor. So she was fully immersed in all the sciencey stuff

since childhood. So now, as a grown up, she's blending all that passion for entrepreneurship and

education and science together into her career as a plant shop owner, content creator,

and hybridizer. And today she's sharing some of her knowledge with us from her new book,

The Ultimate Guide to House Plant Propagation, Step-by-Step techniques for making more houseplants

for free. I love that. I love propagation period, indoors, outdoors, it doesn't matter.

It's always fascinating and always fun. And Lindsay's book is full of excellent information, great documentation

and photography, well written, lots of humor thrown in here and there. So beyond listening to

this conversation today, if you're interested in this topic, I really recommend this book.

I think it's really well done. So of course, that's the main conversation today.

And as we get started, thanks to our sponsors for today's episode, Soil Cubed and Territorial Seed.

Having access to good quality compost is my not-so-secret weapon for the success of everything I grow in my garden.

That's why I'm so proud to be partnering with soil
