Sofia trained as a veterinary nurse before switching to houseplants — she says the two jobs share more than people expect. She now works part-time at a plant shop in Helsinki, where most of her hours get spent inspecting customer returns for pests.
She covers the pests-and-diseases beat: identification, isolation protocols, and how to stop a small problem becoming a full infestation. She has a calibrated eye for spider mite damage from across a room and a barely-disguised contempt for the "dab everything with neem" approach.
