Hi! I’m Youssef.
The person behind this blog.
I’m a home gardener who got hooked on tropical plants — the big, dramatic, out-of-place kind — and never looked back. What began with a single plant on a windowsill slowly took over my home, and then my weekends. I’m someone who learned by growing, and paying close attention to what my garden actually needed. I started writing all of it down, and this blog is where it lives.
