Your moth orchid book saved my orchids, and I've loved sharing the things I've learned from you with my friends."Shelby from London, Ontario“I was lucky enough to come across Ohio Tropics recently after I bought my first houseplant and I have since bought many more. The tips on watering, choosing which pot to use, and how much light the plants want have helped them to thrive in my home but behind all of that is an obvious passion for plants that he is more than happy to share with others.”Will in London, UK“I saw a lot of ‘urban jungle’ pictures on Pinterest and was totally in love, so when I moved into a new place I knew what I wanted. I bought my first plant this January and it kept living! After a few months I bought my second, and soon came the third, fourth etc…but no one around me has a green thumb. So I searched a lot online and found a Dutch website with a lot of care tips but I still found it difficult. When I stumbled upon your Instagram [@ohiotropics] and website [www.ohiotropics.com] I found one article which I live by now: The Absolute Best Thing You Can Do For Your Houseplants. The insights in here made things so simple for me as a total newbee. So thank you for your blog and Instagram! I love love love reading about anything houseplant related, and especially from someone with much more experience than me.” Lotte in the Netherlands
