Unlikely Gardener

Most plant advice on the internet was written by people who've never looked at a peer-reviewed paper. It's based on folklore; myths provided by dead relatives and circulated by influencers who started taking care of plants during Covid. The Unlikely Gardener exists to fix that. I cover indoor plant and garden care the way it should be covered — starting with the science, testing claims against evidence, and calling out the marketing hype that fills your feed. Light, water, substrate, fertilizer, pests: I go deep on all of it, without dumbing it down or dressing it up. No "it depends" or "it worked for me" cop-outs. No advice that hedges every sentence into uselessness. Just honest, research-backed guidance written for people who actually want to understand their plants — not just keep them alive by accident. If you're done being misled by the garden industry, you're in the right place. The more you know, the more you grow.
