Care Level: Moderate

Introducing Calathea ‘Rosy’ ( Calathea roseopicta ), a rose-painted prayer plant that earns its name in living color: oval, glossy leaves start pale, then deepen into a vivid rose-pink center framed by crisp dark green margins tinged with burgundy. Like its Marantaceae cousins, ‘Rosy’ folds its leaves up at night and opens them again with the morning light. This vibrant color is deepest on new growth; as ‘Rosy’ matures, expect the pink to soften toward silvery-green flecks while the dark-green framing holds steady. Give it low to medium light, water with distilled or filtered water to avoid leaf-edge browning, and let the soil stay evenly damp without drying out completely.

Meet Prismacolor™ 'Birkin' ( Philodendron hybrid ), a philodendron that just keeps getting better: fine, cream-white pinstripes trace each glossy, deep-green leaf, growing bolder and more elaborate the longer it's in your care. It grows upright and self-heading, no moss pole required, building into a dense, full houseplant about 18 inches tall, with a width of about 24 inches. Give it bright, indirect light to keep those pinstripes at their crispest — it'll tolerate a dimmer spot too, just with plainer, greener leaves — and let the soil dry slightly between the weekly waterings it likes best.

Meet Sea Turtle™, a Homalomena whose deeply quilted, glossy green leaves carry the same etched, shell-like veining as its ocean namesake — each one rising on a blushing pink-red stem like a fin cutting still water. It's an easygoing swimmer in bright, indirect light, though it won't mind a shadier cove, and prefers to glide along evenly moist rather than bone-dry or waterlogged — let the top couple inches dry out before its next drink. As it settles in, new leaves surface one at a time, slow and steady, building a lush little reef of foliage for a shelf, desk, or sunny windowsill.

A line-defining self-cross within the Brown Derby™ ‘39’ family: Brown Derby pollinated by Brown Derby.

This pairing concentrates the clone’s signature trait, the bronzy, metallic emergent leaf, which progresses from red through warm bronze-brown to deep green across velvet leaves. A reference-quality selection for the collector building around warm metallic tones.

Most ferns keep their best trick up in the fronds. Living Lace® Wooly Tassel™ keeps its down on the soil: this rabbit's foot fern ( Davallia fejeensis ) pairs finely cut, dark green fronds with fuzzy, light brown rhizomes that creep across the surface of the pot and dangle over the rim like little tassels. Those furry feet are the whole show, so let them wander instead of tidying them away. Keep 'Wooly Tassel' out of direct sun, which scorches the fronds, and water when the top inch of soil feels dry, never leaving it soggy. Half lace, half fringe, and entirely fern.

Every frond on Living Lace® Twirly Whirly™ seems to have made up its own mind about which way to grow. This Boston fern ( Nephrolepis exaltata ) crinkles and spirals its emerald fronds in unexpected directions, stacking into a compact, lacy crown that tops out around a foot tall. Give 'Twirly Whirly' the softer light of an east- or north-facing window, well away from midday sun, and water once the top inch of soil feels dry. Ferns like their air humid, so a pebble tray or a steamy bathroom keeps those frilly frond edges from browning. This is lace that could not sit still.

Meet Network News™ ‘Bubble Green’, a nerve plant ( Fittonia albivenis ) with all the effervescent charm its name promises. Like other Fittonia in the collection, it stays low and compact as it fills in, its light green leaves etched end to end with bright, contrasting fuchsia-pink veins — a network of color that earns its Network News™ name. Give it bright, indirect light (it'll shrug off a dimmer spot too) and consistently damp soil, and don't let it dry out for long: ‘Bubble Green’ likes its humidity high, so a humid bathroom shelf or terrarium suits it well.

Prismacolor™ 'Silver Sword' ( Philodendron hastatum ) lives up to its name: each elongated leaf gleams in a cool, metallic silvery-gray, catching the light like polished steel. This vining jungle aroid climbs eagerly given the chance — give it a Climb-itt™ pole or a traditional moss pole and it will draw itself upward, leaf after gleaming leaf. Give 'Silver Sword' bright, indirect light, keep the soil consistently damp without staying soggy, and boost the humidity where you can; this one rewards a little extra care with foliage striking enough to steal the show.

Every regal collection needs a showstopper, and 'Princess "Black Rose"' plays the part in leaves instead of petals. This calathea ( Calathea ) earns its name with near-black foliage streaked in a vivid, hot-pink midrib and veining — as if brushed on with a single, deliberate stroke of paint. Like other prayer plants, its foliage folds up at night and unfurls again by day. Give this regal calathea bright, indirect light well out of harsh direct sun (which can fade its dark color), high humidity, and water once the top inch of soil dries, and 'Princess "Black Rose"' will reign over your plant collection.

Introducing Scented Roots™ 'Red Rubin' ( Alpinia luteocarpa ), a bamboo ginger built for a little drama: slender, lance-shaped leaves stay cool green on top and blaze a deep ruby-red underneath, the exact shade that gives 'Red Rubin' its name. True to its aromatic ginger roots, it grows in upright, cane-like clumps and may eventually send up creamy white flowers blushed with pink. Give it partial shade to bright, filtered light, an evenly damp and well-drained mix, and the warm, humid corner of your home it was born for, and it will reward you with color at every turn.

Add a little sparkle to your shelf with Living Lace® 'Verdant Sequin' ( Pellaea ), your quintessential button fern. Glossy, round leaflets are strung like sequins along arching fronds, their verdant green set off beautifully by rusty brown stems. Native to New Zealand and Australia, 'Verdant Sequin' is adapted to drier, rockier ground than most ferns, so it's forgiving if your home isn't especially humid. Give it medium, indirect light, such as an east- or north-facing window, and enjoy a fern that shines without the fuss.

Spin a little lace into your home with Living Lace® 'Fritz Luthi' ( Adiantum ), an elegant take on the classic maidenhair fern. Triangular fronds are finely divided into fan-shaped leaflets that dangle like delicate trim from nearly black stems, a striking contrast to foliage that emerges almost chartreuse and deepens to blue-green over time. Give 'Fritz Luthi' medium, indirect light, such as an east- or north-facing window, plenty of humidity, and gentle bottom watering, and this woodland beauty will keep its lacework looking fresh.

'Sterling' ( Dieffenbachia hybrid ) lives up to its name, with a streak of silver running through every leaf. This Dieffenbachia's deep green, broad leaves are struck through by a bold white midrib that branches into a fine herringbone of veining — as if brushed with sterling silver leaf. It grows slowly and steadily, eventually reaching 3 to 4 feet tall indoors. Medium to bright indirect light keeps that silver striping crisp; let the top few inches of soil dry out before watering again. Like other Dieffenbachias, best to keep it out of reach of pets and curious kids who might be temped to taste.

Meet a one-of-a-kind Monstera 'Electro Light' ( Monstera deliciosa ), a variegated Monstera whose leaves light up in electric chartreuse with soft green marbling, in a pattern no other plant shares. The plant in the photos is the exact one you will receive, settled in a 17cm grow pot inside a natural jute cachepot. Keep its glow charged with bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window, and let the top inch or two of soil dry out between waterings. As it matures, its leaves develop the classic Monstera splits, so the show keeps growing.

Introducing Velvet Tapestry® 'Malayan Gem' ( Episcia cupreata ), a genuine gem woven into our Velvet Tapestry® collection. Fuzzy, velvet-soft leaves glow deep green with coppery veining and hints of pink and purple, edged in warm red-purple margins for extra richness. Left to its own devices, 'Malayan Gem' sends out trailing runners in every direction, so give it room (or a hanging spot) to wander. It thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates a dimmer spot too, prefers high humidity, and likes to stay evenly hydrated — a terrarium or misty bathroom shelf suits it well.

Something wild is prowling through the understory — meet Velvet Tapestry® 'Pink Panther' ( Episcia cupreata ), a flame violet with a coat as bold as its namesake. Velvety, bronze-to-deep-green leaves are marked with a lighter green pattern down the center of each, like brushstrokes across fur, and under the right conditions it can produce bright pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. As it matures, 'Pink Panther' sends out trailing stolons and will happily cascade from a hanging pot or shelf. Keep it warm, in bright indirect light and evenly damp soil, and water at the soil line — those velvety leaves resent water on their foliage.

Meet Philodendron 'Zebra' ( Philodendron gloriosum ) — a gloriosum that wears its stripes without ever needing a moss pole. Each heart-shaped, velvety leaf is a deep forest green, traced end to end in bold, silvery-white veining that runs the length of the blade like a fresh coat of paint. Instead of climbing, 'Zebra' creeps low along the soil on a thick rhizome, unfurling new leaves as it spreads outward. Give it bright, indirect light, higher humidity, and let the top couple inches of soil dry out between waterings to keep this low-slung grower thriving.

Color Full® Veitchiana ( Calathea veitchiana ) earns its series name twice over. Each rounded, wavy-edged leaf carries a loose feathering of lime green and cream over deep green, with a rich burgundy underside. It's an upright, slow-growing clumper that rewards patience: give it medium, indirect light and keep it out of direct sun, which scorches the leaves; use distilled or rainwater to keep soil evenly damp, since ordinary tap water's fluoride can brown the leaf edges; and provide humidity above 60% to keep those brushstrokes sharp.

Meet 'Medallion V2' ( Calathea roseopicta ), an even more painterly encore to our classic Color Full® 'Medallion' — same round, medallion-shaped leaves, turned up a shade brighter. Each leaf carries a hand-brushed pattern of silvery green and cream, framed in a dark green border, with a wine-purple underside that folds skyward every night, prayer-plant style. Give 'Medallion V2' medium to low, indirect light and let the top inch of soil dry between waterings — never let it sit in water. High humidity keeps those brushstrokes crisp and its edges from browning.

Step into the wild with the Strap Leaf Anthurium ( Anthurium vittariifolium ): instead of anthurium's usual heart-shaped leaf, this one unfurls narrow, deep-green ribbons that cascade from a central point, growing four to eight feet long in the wild. It's an epiphyte native to the Amazon basin, growing on other plants rather than rooting in soil — so at home, pot it in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix, give it bright indirect light and humidity on the higher side, and keep the medium evenly damp without ever letting it fully dry out. Give the ribbons room to hang, and they'll only keep growing.
