    Plant Circle at Home: Oliver

    Plant Circle at Home: Oliver

    In the Plant Circle at Home series we’d like to introduce you to the people who make up the Plant Circle team, and offer you a glimpse of their homes and, most importantly, their plants! First up is Oliver! Let’s dive right into it! Where are you from, what’s your position at Plant Circle and how long have you been with the company?I’m originally from Canberra in Australia, a lovely city surrounded by, and full of, nature. I started working with Plant Circle in September 2017 and now manage the day to day operations of our physical store in Berlin. How long have you been living with plants and have you always had a thing for house plants?I grew up spending most of my time in the Australian wilderness, hiking through temperate rainforest and exploring deep canyons in some of the oldest forests in the world. I found myself working in a plant shop in 2013 and since then I have always been bringing plants home to be constantly connected to the natural world. How do plants affect the way you decorate your home? I am a strong believer in multi-functional living. The home should not only be a place of shelter, but able to fulfill multiple purposes, like cleaning the air, improving mental health, and personally a connection to my roots. Finding plants that are suitable and functional with a living arrangement is my premise when bringing a plant into a home. What’s a typical reaction when someone comes over for the first time and sees your jungle? Normally there is slight shock, but then inspiration, causing those guests to also want to fill their home with plants. What’s your watering and plant care routine like? I try to thoroughly water on a weekly basis in summer, but going into winter things change, and each plant is far more specific with their watering requirements. So really paying attention to each plant in winter is how I manage their care. When it comes to pruning and repotting, spring is always a busy time. What’s your favorite plant, and do species and rareness have a lot to say when you choose a new plant to bring home?Hoya Cumingiana, and all Hoya and Dischidia plants. Hoya wins. Every time, no doubt about it. When it comes to rareness, personally it doesn’t phase me. If I like a plant, I like it, and it doesn’t matter if it’s rare, has an official name, or whatever. Are there any plants that you love, but just don’t have the best luck with?I wish I had a more suitable climate for growing succulents, but sadly Berlin just isn’t kind enough in winter for me to grow them in my flat. What’s your best plant care tip?Use a high quality potting mix specific for the type of plant. Like people, if plants are eating shit, they’re going to end up like shit. Besides looking great, obviously, what are the benefits of living with plants in your opinion, and why is it important to you personally?Nothing can change a space to a place greater than a connection like symbiosis. I can make a house a home by caring for plants, and the plants care for me in return. Which plants would you buy as a present for a new plant lover, knowing it would be a hard one for them to kill?Hoya, especially the more succulent varieties, they always win. They can cope with some neglect, and they grow in such interesting ways.You will never get bored of owning Hoya!

    Plant Circle at Home: Pietro

    by Plant Circle

    Plant Circle at Home: Pietro

    For our second installment of the Plant Circle at Home series, we’re visiting Pietro Zambello, friend of Plant Circle and collector of rare plants, Begonias in particular.Ready to feel like maybe you don’t have that many plants after all? Then read on! Hi Pietro and welcome to Plant Circle at Home! Tell us when you started collecting plants and why? I started collecting Begonia maybe two years ago, after a long time keeping and breeding frogs. I enjoy a good hunt, and I’m a collector at heart in the most victorian way imaginable, and somehow jungle plants and Begonia in particular caught my attention. I can’t quite explain why it had to be Begonias, I have struggled the same way to explain how I ever ended up with frogs! I did have phases in between, though, with corals, English roses, and South American miniature orchids, but Begonias just tick all the right boxes in my head! There’s something about the leaf colors and shape, and logic about these plants that’s just perfect.I guess a massive plus was iridescence, which I have always been attracted to, so I decided to focus on South East Asian non-tuberous species. How many plants approximately are there in your collection?Gosh, if you count all the propagation trays and mother plants, possibly a couple thousands?  What’s your favorite species and why?I think Begonia Rockii. As I mentioned, iridescence is something I have been attracted to ever since stumbling across a 19th century text on bioluminescence in European forests. After many ridiculous thoughts regarding glowing plants and luciferase, I settled for the next best thing; iridescence!Begonia Rockii came into my collection only recently, and it’s a large species with fleshy hand-sized leaves that are as close as it gets to a mirror.  “I don’t believe in difficult plants, only in wrong environments”-Pietro Zambello What’s the easiest plant in your collection?My garden Begonia! I’m actually obsessed with Begonia Grandis and hybrids, with my all time favorite being Begonia Torsa.Massive leaves, slightly iridescent and indestructible. Spends winter as a tuber in my fridge. You can’t ask for more! What’s your most difficult plant?I don’t believe in difficult plants, only in wrong environments. If a plant is being is difficult, it’s because it’s a non established plant, like a recent import. My imported plants usually needs weeks to pick up as Begonias ship awfully, and you need to bring back the homeostatic level over a long period of time, crowned by leaf losses and stem rot, repotting and moving through boxes with decrescent humidity levels. In most cases you end up with only a 2 square cm leaf wedge rooting! What’s the best piece of advice you ever got in regards to growing plants that you wish you had known sooner? Don’t bother them! Don’t overthink, over measure, try to figure out soils, and come up with new remedies. My grandma was growing incredible plants basically in the dark with zero knowledge, and they’d make some instagram scientist from today cringe. I’m learning this myself; that less is more. That maybe if instead of changing the growth medium every four days, I could just let the plant figure it out, and we’d both be happier.  How long do you spend tending to your plants on a daily/weekly basis?I think about plants, like, all the time! It’s my safe space.I took my whole collection to work, so I can take a lot of little breaks during the day. Usually I’ll get to the plant room at the end of my day for a few hours, where I mostly repot or propagate. What’s the most valuable plant in your collection for you? (Not based on the market value)My blue Sonerilas. It was a gift I received from a friend after a night in Sumatra. I was there with my brother, and we had to take three flights from Borneo to reach central Sumatra, and ended up staying there only one night at my friends farm in the mountains, which we reached after dark, and after hours of travel by car. There I was shown these ridiculous plants, and many more, that are just blue and shine at the slightest shimmer. It was very overwhelming and surreal. None of these plants ever managed to leave Sumatra, as they ship terribly. I took home a 2 cm sprout and it’s a crazy feeling to have a plant that, besides not being described, you can’t even find and online record of! It was a process to figure it out, and I’m so happy I have many of them. I think I’m low key trying to recreate that night over and over. I was very happy. What do you see in plants that you think other people don’t and wish they did?Poetry What do plants bring to your life?Mostly a sense of control. I think about my plants every night before I go to sleep, and rearrange them in my head. I guess that’s what they bring to anybody? You feel in charge, without the pressure of feelings, as a plant is not in pain, and even if it’s is undernourished, it won’t feel hunger like for example a dog would. And then of course the positive feedback you get from seeing them grow, and the tiny moment where you think you cracked the code of life because you see a new leaf! And the panic three days later when it starts melting!
