Australia's Exotic Flora and Endemic Houseplants with Botanist & Podcast Host, Shii Kaina

🌿SHOW NOTES🌿

In this Episode of Among the Jungle Podcast we journey to the Outback where we discover how Australia's flora and fauna have adapted to one of the most extreme climates in the world. This exotic land is full of surprises, and I look forward to sharing their diverse plant kingdom with you, from the most critically endangered species in the world to common house hold plants found in your very living room.

Today we will learn:

1) How Australia's fauna and flora evolved into such exotic species
2) Common houseplants native to Australia
3) How we can support them through bush fires and beyond
