On The Ledge is a podcast all about indoor gardening - helping you to grow everything from Aloe vera to the ZZ plant. Presenter Jane Perrone has been nuts about houseplants since she was knee high to a Swiss cheese plant. She quizzes the experts, helps you find cool new stuff to grow and figures out how to fix your plant problems. For more information, email ontheledgepodcast@gmail.com or visit janeperrone.com.
Love this podcast, always something new to learn and now there’s such a back catalogue to listen to, I’m never at a loose end for something to tune into. I love Jane’s presenting and guests and... basically everything. How did it take me so long to find it I ask myself?! From one Hessayon fan to another, thank you!!

109 is a great episode. I only have two perperomias, but would really like more. Lovely webpage too, the grower has them beautifully displayed

Cheerful Houseplant listening
This is an upbeat podcast about everything houseplant. Jane is a lovely host with great passion for her subject and she interviews some seriously knowledgable experts. I love the way the show brings together listeners of all ages from across the world to share the houseplant love.

Perfect drivetime length obsession!
I'm new to plants, and when looking for some extra help in learning about all things green and indoors I stumbled upon On the Ledge. SO GOOD. Covers everything I'd been wondering about and more! I made a beeline for a few key episodes looking at low light plants and how not to kill houseplants, but quickly found myself starting from ep1 and steadily bingeing my way through on my drive to and from work! Who knew I'd have an interest in micro greens? Or that I needed a ZZ in my life and am now drooling over the raven variety?! THANKYOU FOR THIS AWESOME PODCAST! (and linked fb group which is full of help and joy too!)

I’m about to become a houseplant geek
This is a great podcast. I’m quietly confident that even if you aren’t a gardner of any sort you’ll enjoy this. You might even find that like me you start adding houseplants to your online and real life shopping baskets because of it.
Thank you Jane for a hugely inspiring and entertaining podcast. 👏👏👏

Houseplant heaven
I love this podcast. I’ve learnt so much and found so many fantastic instagram accounts to follow by listening. Jane herself has a wonderful Insta account and has helped me with specific plant queries. All in all a lovely thing.

Houseplant chat
Jane Perrone (presenter) displays a wonderful depth of knowledge on all topics houseplant related in a consistently consummate manner that is warm and humorous :)

I love this show so much I am going to get my own houseplant one day.
I don't have any houseplants at the moment because I am too nomadic, so I just listen to Jane's plants instead. She looks after them really well for me. Thanks from a frustrated houseplant owner.

Brilliant
Just worked out how to leave a review! As a listener from the beginning of On The Ledge I can say The podcast has only gone from strength to strength and continues to provide so much plant based inspiration and tips. I love it! Keep up the good work Jane

Engaging and informative
Really love listening to this podcast and I recommend it to anyone growing or interested in growing houseplants.
Unlike a lot of the plant Youtuber videos, this podcast is so well researched you can rely on the info!
Theres so many episodes now you can probably find an episode that covers your choice of plants, so its really useful.

Fabulous
Absolutely loving this podcast as someone who is fairly new to keeping house plants it’s so useful for me I have learnt lots already. Discovered a million other plants I now love. very enjoyable to listen too

Essential listening for any houseplant enthusiast
I’ve been growing houseplants for a couple of years and this podcast is the single greatest resource I’ve found. The podcasts themselves are fantastic and I find myself repeat listening to absorb all the information available. There are also show notes available that provide a great background to the shows and provide useful sources of further information. Five stars Jane!

Gardening for millenials
This is an awesome podcast. Excellent guests, well presented, off-the-beaten-track plants and interesting content. I'm a young professional and this is very definitely (and successfully) aimed at my generation, certainly compared to the obviously much older target audience of, say, Gardener's Question Time. Above all, this podcast is fun, light-hearted, mild-mannered and relevant.
Also, serial interviews with James Wong. Say no more.

Great podcast
I don’t have many houseplants (more of an outdoor gardener) but this podcast is an excellent source of info. The episode giving tips on buying plants is relative to anyone about to part with money for a plant!

Houseplant Heaven
Whatever the opposite of being green-fingered is, that's me!
I was dead pleased to come across this podcast which hopefully can get me on the road to houseplant heaven (for me that is they don't die!).
It sounds cool, the host Jane absolutely knows her stuff, the production is good, and I would choose it over the BBC offerings (no names mentioned!)
Really worth adding onto your subscribe list - I did!
Fabulous.

Excellent show!
Really entertaining and informative show. I loved the episode about growing chillis. Clearly presented and superb content. If you like house plants or you’re considering getting your fingers a bit green, give it a click.

Plant-i-licious!
I love plants, my house is full of them, and this podcast is so informative yet entertaining it makes me want even more! Jane knows what she's talking about, The show is well presented and well produced. There are some great guests. A must-listen for any houseplant fans, or those looking to invite a few green friends into their home,

Brilliant Houseplant Geekery
Fantastic podcast - funny, informative and some great guests. It has made my houseplant obession increase, wishing I had more ledges, shelves, tables to put them on!

Binge-worthy listening
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to discover this podcast. It’s a really interesting and informative listen. Jane’s voice and time also makes for a great listen. Thank you Jane and I can’t wait for future episodes. Can’t recommend this podcast enough to anyone with a passion or interest in plants. It definitely informs our Instagram account @botanicalarchives

Highly recommended for all those cultivating a houseplant habit
Phrases like "required listening" are bandied about all too freely in podcast reviews, but On the Ledge really is just that for anyone with an interest in houseplants. It's fun, informative, and manages to mix a bit of horticultural science and some botany in without appearing in the least bit stuffy. Just what you need if you want your newly acquired indoor greenery to last beyond a few weeks. The only problem is, while listening is free, the hit upon your wallet as Jane enthuses you to grow your collection of domestic vegetation is anything but insignificant. Other than that, top stuff.

So useful!!'
I am so happy to have found this podcast! I am a horticulturalist but haven't had much luck with indoor gardening in the past. This podcast is good for me and my indoor plant babies! They are definitely looking happier since I have been putting my new knowledge into practice. Thank you Jane! From me and my green friends 💚

2017-11-27
Love it! So much information and inspiration
Really enjoy hearing what's going on behind the photos on Instagram thank you Jane great programme 👍 but my book shelves are bowing with all the new books I never knew I wanted and my husband is saying “not ANOTHER bl@@dy house plant?” It’s all your fault!

Great podcast
Look forward to every episode, love it!!

Dr Hessayon
Liked the James Wong podcast but mostly love listening to you! I also have a well used Dr Hessayon house plants living on my bedside table. Thank you for doing the podcasts, they're informative and fun to listen to. P.s. thanks for the replies about fungus gnats, I haven't seen one in months!

Brilliant
This is what I've been waiting for! Too many gardening programmes and podcasts ignore indoor gardening and house plants in particular. Jane has vast knowledge but presents with a light touch and is always fun. Great guests too. I've added to my collection of plants with pretty much every listen!

Great Podcast
Informative, thought-provoking and funny. Thank you!

Making my fingers greener
There's something really soothing about listening to gardening programs. It's rare to find ones on house plants, though. Thus 'On the Ledge' was a real joy to discover, and even more of a joy to listen to!
2017-07-20
Not for just the green fingered
This is a lovely listen. Jane is a wonderful personality and makes gardening accessible to even the most ham fisted gardener like me! I'm taking my house plants way more seriously...
2017-07-11
My houseplants say thank you!
A joy of a listen, inspiring & informative. My houseplants have been reorganised, my orchids repotted & I have rescued my sister's succulents & cacti from death by baking without ever being watered. I'm especially happy to find a fellow streptocarpus fan. Looking forward to many more episodes
2017-04-07
Great show on the alternative and quirky side of gardening
Great show on the alternative and quirky side of gardening. Jane has a great manner and the topics are fun and informative. I could do without voiceover man who appeared in the first two episodes.

Fab new podcast for planty people
A lovely, big, warm, house plant-printed blanket of a podcast. Household names and experts are there to pass on there knowledge of a subject which really should be a little less niche. Engagingly written and presented by Jane Perrone. Looking forward to more episodes!
2017-03-24
Finally a houseplant podcast
I've always wanted to learn more about houseplants. This podcast is perfect for me as I like to listen to it in the bath and imagine the house being filled with the beautiful plants they are discussing. All the best.
