Hi I'm Karla!

Welcome, fellow dirt-dabblers and aspiring plant parents! I'm your host, a former Chicagoan who fled the snow and found my true calling in Florida: turning my home into a jungle (and occasionally, a plant graveyard). My green thumb journey kicked off in 2020, and let's just say I've made enough "learning experiences" to fill a small book. I'm no botanist, but I'm here to spill all the hard-earned, practical lessons so you can avoid my rookie mistakes and finally get your leafy buddies to stop judging you.
