This page was made for me lol. Does anyone have recommendations for online resources to really learn about plants from a scientific perspective?

I’d love to hear answers to this post! House Plant Journal is science based and has some videos and articles but you have to pay for some info. Summer Rayne Oakes is also science based. The plant rescuer is also helpful :) oh and everything plants and aloha plant life. Also defaulting to any botanists is helpful!

Thank you!

I’m old so I prefer books. I can highlight paragraphs, take notes, and dog-ear pages. I really like “Plantopedia.” It has basic information, but the photos are gorgeous. A beautiful book to have just because. “The Houseplant Whisperer” is awesome, and the “Houseplant Handbook.” the handbook is cool because it gives alot of objective data about light and humidity.

Yes plantopedia is great :)

If you like aroids I can highly recommend exoticrainforest. com. You can dive deeper into different species of aroids there 🤩

Llifle dot com is a goofy, antiquated style website with everything you want and more. Anyone and everyone here should know lol.

#### Roundshouse Plants replied on 2023-07-25

Um. Llifle is a rad resource. Thanks for the post!

Of course! It’s so awesome. The only hard part is that images are sometimes of stuff in the wild (covered in spines) or the thumbnail is a flower. I reckon they already assume we know the ID of our plants before we begin ha. Really, I love reading about the terrain and anomalies that made a plant what it is. Evolution!

I concur on House plant Journal dot com.  
Also, sciencey based You Tube Channels I follow:

Everything Plants (Geeky/science houseplants)  
Nick Alexander (comedic science \& history plant facts)  
Summer Rayne Oakes (specific plant details and collector \& garden tours)  
House Plant Journal (science plants, lighting focus) (\*he has both you tube \& a website)
