Plant care doesn't have to be complicated. Join the Costa Farms team for practical advice, real answers, and plenty of plant talk.
Plant Rx is back—and better than ever. Costa Farms' houseplant podcast returns with a fresh look, a new co-host, and a whole new format built around the topics you care about most.
This season, each episode is a deep dive into a single subject—a plant group you've been wanting to understand, or a bigger conversation about seasonal care, styling ideas, or a behind-the-scenes look at how your plants are grown. New episodes drop every other week and run a friendly 20–30 minutes, so you'll always come away with practical advice you can put to work the same day.
