About the Author
Sofia has spent over a decade helping home gardeners figure out what their plants actually need, as opposed to what the label says they need. Her approach is diagnostic; she'd rather help you understand why your plant is struggling than hand you a generic care schedule. At home, she maintains a greenhouse collection of rare succulents, which has given her a working knowledge of edge cases that most gardening guides don't cover.
