Growing up in the Philippines, Bekka Tia, aka @herplantstories, was used to seeing tropical plants all around. But it wasn’t until much later that she really started cultivating a houseplant collection of her own. Now a dental hygienist by day and a plant influencer by night, she’s filled her Winnipeg home with an impressive collection of philodendrons and other lush finds. In this episode of Houseplanted, we learn how Bekka cares for her humidity-loving plants in the middle of the Canadian Prairies and explore the many cabinets, corners and shelves that she’s stocked with plants.
