I talk about plants for a living.
My favourite part of plant production is efficiency. Planning the entire process so it lines up with windows of costumer value. The most important questions are usually when and where do we produce our product.

Now that we understand why the plant looks like it does, we can deduce that we need to keep it dry and hot if we want a happy plant.
The same goes for all plants with similar features.

This layer of hair helps raise the humidity in the air surrounding the leaf. High humidity means a lower rate of evaporation thus making it more resistant to a hot and dry environment.
It uses its thick leaves to store water for later. Kinda like humps on a camel.

Plants look like they do for a reason. This one has a bunch of little hairs all over their thick leaves.
We can learn how to take care of the plant by looking at these features.

Hydroponics!
Growing plants in water. It’s great for vertical farming. It’s also a great way to learn about climate control. Everything has to be precise and mistakes have almost immediate consequences.
It’s actually pretty easy to set up. You should do it at home.

It’s actually wild how different each family of plants is from one another. I’m amazed daily. I love my job.

Figs have inverted flowers. Kinda.
Figs actually have a bunch of little flowers growing inside a pot like structure. They look like this because they work in symbiosis with wasps. This is an excellent example of coevolution.

Remember the importance of treating your soil with respect. It feeds you.

Go read entangled life by Merlin sheldrake.
It will teach you about mushrooms, the biological individual, symbiosis, and how human beings misunderstand nature when they try to relate to it.

I’m trying out a new kind of growth medium made from plant polymer. It feels and looks weird but at least it’s pink.

It’s hard to pick the most important things to cover when talking about plant production in greenhouses. There’s just too much stuff.

Ask me any questions vaguely related to plants or horticulture. I’ll do my best to answer. 🌺🌱

Oyster mushrooms can be used to create biodegradable materials used for building furniture and other structures. Most notably biodegradable packaging.
These materials can be made from waste materials.
Look up mycobricks if you want to learn more.

Oyster mushrooms are ligninolytic. This means that they produce enzyme that can break down wood.
These enzymes give them the amazing ability to clean up polluted soils by digesting PAH molecules.

Mushrooms are pretty cool. They do all sorts of neat things.
Oyster mushrooms are carnivorous. They paralyse nematodes with poison, grow inside their mouths and eat them from the inside.
That’s not even the most exciting thing oyster mushrooms do.
