Plant Potential is run by Maarten Casteleijn, a biologist who spent seven years as a plant-resilience specialist at Royal Brinkman. Years of greenhouse trial work and hands-on crop experience shape every article: start from plant biology, check claims against published research, and be clear about what the evidence does and does not show.
