Meet Christal of Ajax, Ont., a plant collector who’s so dedicated, she devoted entire sections of her home solely to her houseplants. Her living room — which she said gets the best natural light in the whole house — is reserved for her personal collection, which includes a number of massive rare tropicals. She’s also converted her garage into a greenhouse that harbours thousands of plants for her business, Centered by Plants.

In this episode of Houseplanted, Christal shows us her impressive array of rare aroids and hoyas and shares insider tips on how to grow big, lush plants indoors.
