‘Danielle’ is another Ficus benjamina in our Cling-On collection, that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Danielle’ can be grown as a small tree, or as an elegant multi-stemmed plant with a bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold gorgeous, dark green leaves. In order to keep your ‘Danielle’ looking her best, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in an east- or west-facing window. A southern exposure would also be ideal.
You’ll pine for this whimsically-textured Alocasia–Mythic ‘Pining for You’ (Alocasia scalprum). Also known as a “Samar Lance” and "jewel alocasia", this Alocasia is diminutive in size but bold in personality. ‘Pining for You’ has leathery, arrowhead-shaped leaves in a deep, dark green hue. A closer look reveals intricately-detailed veining, etching the surface of each glossy leaf. What will have you really pining for this alocasia, however, is how its leaves twist about at random, and curl down around the edges, in true quirky fashion.
Introducing Cling-On® ‘Mini Zen’, the space-saving counterpart to our classic African Fig. This compact version brings a touch of tranquility into any room, no matter how small, making it perfect for creating your own sanctuary. With glossy, dark green leaves that cling elegantly to its branches, ‘Mini Zen’ has earned its place in our Cling-On® collection. Over time, as ‘Mini Zen’ grows, its branches develop textured, exfoliating bark like that of a birch tree–a nod to its nickname, the “Birchbark Fig”. Unlike other, more high maintenance ficuses, ‘Mini Zen’ is also more forgiving of average home conditions, making it an ideal choice for those seeking more peace in their plant care regimen.
‘Ruffled Arrow’ is a leatherleaf fern with striking presence! Its heavily-divided, arrow-shaped fronds boast serrated or “ruffled” edges, and a bright lime green highlight down the center, adding depth, dimension, and just a touch of variegation to its medium green foliage. The thick, leathery texture of each frond ensures durability and a unique feel, living up to its common name–”leatherleaf” fern.
Say hello to this dazzling member of the prayer plant family–Socialite ‘Trio Star’–her glamorous, variegated leaves adorned in a trio of colors! Although ‘Trio Star’ looks similar to a Calathea, and thrives in the same bright, indirect light & high humidity as a Calathea, ‘Trio Star’ is actually a Stromanthe (Stromanthe sanguinea). For best performance, put her in a spotlight, or maybe just the brightest, indirect light you have, and let her show off her elongated, dramatically-variegated leaves of white, green, and pink. At night, or when the curtain falls, ‘Trio Star’ will fold up her leaves, displaying their reddish-purple undersides.
Chandelier ‘Celebrate’ or Ficus microcarpa, is a delightful houseplant that could grow into a small tree in years. It has an upright, tree-like demeanor, with stems that turn woody over time, and support oblong oval leaves of medium green. These leaves, smooth and shiny, bear a warm gentle glow, especially when they’re newly emerging. Midribs are distinctly light in color. ‘Celebrate’ is a botanical masterpiece, in and of itself, but like other Ficus microcarpa, it would make an excellent specimen for sculpting in the ancient art of bonsai.
Embrace the beauty that befalls a snowy morning, all year-round, with BeautiFall ‘Snowy Morning’ Pothos. ‘Snowy Morning’ features trailing or climbing vines of heart-shaped leaves that are delicately marbled in shades of green, white, creamy-yellow, and every permutation in between. ‘Snowy Morning’ is resilient and easy-to-care-for, adapting to most any light levels in your home. However, it will display the showiest and snowiest variegation if given plenty of bright light.
Prismacolor ‘Pop Art’ (Philodendron erubescens) is sure to become an iconic Philodendron in your home. It has broad, elongated, lance-shaped leaves born on dark, dramatic mahogany petioles. Its leaves emerge a bronzey-red color, and mature to a dark green, sometimes black color. Leaves can grow up to a foot long, given the ideal conditions. A little leaf shine will go a long way in keeping your ‘Pop Art’ installation looking as stylish as patent leather!
‘Sword Dance’ is a staghorn fern, aptly named for its strappy, elongated fronds that are akin the blades of a sword. Swaying together, these fronds are embellished with tiny scale-like hairs that give a silvery, felted appearance and help ‘Sword Dance’ absorb nutrients and retain moisture. That said, avoid using leaf shine products or wiping away this layer of fuzz. In nature, staghorn ferns typically grow as epiphytes on the surface of other plants, such as clinging to the crook of a tree. Consequently, they don’t require much soil fertility, can thrive in diffuse or indirect sunlight, and prefer to dry out completely in between watering. ‘Sword Dance’ is a more compact, bushy staghorn for any plant lover hoping to incorporate a touch of pre-historic intrigue into their home.
Introducing ‘Emerald Ripcurl’—a philodendron with multi-lobed, glossy green leaves that have all the spectacle of waves at sea. While the leaves of ‘Emerald Ripcurl’ (Philodendron squamiferum) have a totally unique shape, what sets this tropical philodendron apart from others, are the fuzzy petioles that turn to red over time. Therefore, this plant is sometimes referred to as a “hairy philodendron.” Under optimal conditions, the undulating leaves of ‘Emerald Ripcurl’ can reach up to 18 inches in length.
Here’s an enchanting philodendron that will put a spell on you with its botanical magic, Prismacolor™ ‘White Wizard’. This highly sought-after philodendron casts spells of wonder as it unfurls spade-shaped leaves, marbled and splashed with crisp white variegation. It’s not sorcery, but it is a ‘White Wizard’! With a moss pole or other structure as its staff, this climbing philodendron will weave its spellbinding charm upwards, sending out aerial roots, and growing larger, even more resplendent leaves over time.
One look at this white-veined Fittonia and you’ll be able to see where the common name “nerve plant” comes from. Like other nerve plants, ‘World Views’ features low-growing, creeping foliage with oval-shaped green leaves that have the distinctive veining one would expect to see on an anatomy diagram of the nervous system.
You’ll be sure to enjoy the low maintenance splendor that befalls BeautiFall® N'Joy Pothos. N'Joy has heavy cream-colored variegation on green leaves, much more pronounced that the marbling one might find on BeautiFall ‘Snowy Morning.’ Leaves on N'Joy are also spade-shaped, but slightly smaller and thinner than those of a typical pothos. For the most well-defined display of ‘N’Joy’s’ white margins, place her in bright, indirect light. Enjoy!
Introducing Chroma ‘Abidjan’, named after the vibrant city on the Ivory Coast. This Rubber Plant has sleek, ovate-shaped leaves that are so dark green, they are almost ebony. Leaves contrast with the protective red sheaths on emerging growth; midribs also display hints of red. A little leaf shine will keep your ‘Abidjan’ as striking and sophisticated as its namesake city.
ColorFull® ‘Orbifolia’ wants to be at the center of your universe. With its broad, rounded leaves akin to “orbs” and elegantly striped in silvery-green, it demands your admiration. If you give this iconic Calathea the conditions it craves, it will dazzle you with its Instagrammably good looks. ‘Orbifolia’ has the potential to grow quite large over time, but please remember that this is one of the thinner-leaved varieties of calathea, therefore, it may be less tolerant of tap water and may require higher humidity to prevent leaf edges from turning brown and crispy.
Also known as dracaena trifasciata, sansevieria trifasciata or mother-in-law's tongue, snake plants are native to tropical West Africa. Because they store water in their leaves, they're virtually indestructible. These popular, low-maintenance plants grow slowly and, depending on the variety, can reach anywhere from eight inches to 12 feet with proper care.
Named after Vang Vieng, Laos, where it was discovered growing epiphytically in the humid shade of limestone mountains, is another rare hoya–Hoya vangviengiensis. Try saying that name five times fast! ‘Vangviengiensis’ has thick, succulent leaves of solid, glossy green. Leaves are coated in a delicate layer of peach fuzz, making them smooth to touch. If given the proper conditions, ‘Vangviengiensis’ will send out fragrant, fuzzy flowers of pearlescent white. Like other hoyas, this hoya is a climber and should be given a hoop or some other trellis structure to twine around.
‘Current News’ will grab your attention with its dramatic, low-growing foliage. Leaves are very dark green with heavy magenta-pink veining. Leaves have serrated, ruffled edges. ‘Current News’ will provide a pretty pop of pink in a terrarium or under cloche.
If it bleeds, it leads–and this crimson-veined fittonia is sure to be the ‘Breaking News’ in your collection! ’Breaking News’ has heavy red veining that really pops in contrast to the dark green leaf margins. The ovate leaves have edges that are ever-so-slightly ruffled. Like other nerve plants, ‘Breaking News’ will stay relatively compact and creep in a low-growing habit.
Here’s another lovely Fittonia worthy of bringing verdant style into your space ‘All the Time!’ Like other nerve plants, this is a low-growing, creeping plant with small, ovate leaves. ‘All the Time’ is adorned in a flawless fishnet-pattern of white veining.
Begonia maculata ‘Obsidian’ rocks a look as sharp as the volcanic glass it is named after. This dark, dramatic cane begonia flaunts asymmetrical, wing-shaped leaves of nearly black, growing atop bamboo-like shoots. Leaves have ruffled, serrated edges, and reddish undersides, which contrast strikingly with their dark green uppers. Like other “Angel Wing” or “Polka Dot” begonias, ‘Obsidian’ is spotted with silvery speckling.
Step into the wild with ‘African Jungle’, a rex begonia with mounding, clumping leaves that capture all the vibrance of a sub-saharan rainforest. Each asymmetrical, deeply-serrated leaf is a riot of color, with plum-to-purple centers, shimmering splashes of silver & lavender, and rich green margins, edged in more purple. Red stems and under-veining also add another pop of color and dimension.
