Dr BLOCK’s Plant Collection, Advanced Care Tips, and Botanical Philosophy

I am thrilled to present the magnificent garden of Dr. Jeff Block in Miami, Florida. Many of us - myself included, know Dr. Block as a world-renowned anthurium hybridizer. I was fascinated to discover that anthuriums… are just the tip of the iceberg - when it comes to his vast expertise and deep passion for the botanical world. In this episode, we take a tour of Dr. Block's garden - a labor of love that took decades to cultivate, and meet some of the extraordinary plants that call it home. Throughout the tour, he generously shares invaluable plant care tips, proudly showcasing some marvelous specimens, and concludes with a thoughtful philosophy on plant collecting. We then dive into an interview where Dr. Block offers his insights on the controversial marijuana plant and the role of variegation in plants. If you’re eager to learn more about Dr. Block's anthuriums, stay tuned for the next episode, which will be dedicated entirely to this spectacular genus!
