You probably know by now that we love plants…but is there such a thing as too many plants? A lot of us went a little plant-crazy these last couple years, and we’ve gotten some questions from people who feel overwhelmed by their indoor jungles. In this episode, we’re sharing what an excess of plants could indicate, our experience with having too many plants, and how to let go of plants when you have more than you can care for.

We cover:

  • The different ways clutter shows up in our lives

  • What to do with sick plants

  • What to do when you feel overwhelmed by your plants

  • Why many of us have felt the need to adopt so many plants during the pandemic

  • The lessons you can learn from having too many plants

  • Cultivating generosity and sharing plants with others
