A dramatic tri-parent cross: a Red Velvet Cake™ ‘24’ × Zara™ ‘3’ seedling pollinated by Black Widow™ ‘43’.
Expect long, teardrop leaves in reflective red-to-burgundy velvet at emergence, hardening toward near-black with the clean longitudinal venation of the Black Widow line and pink leaf reverses. A statement Premier.
The DocBlock™ Premier™ collection from leafjoy® houseplants showcases premium hybrid Anthuriums born from decades of award-winning selective breeding by Dr. Jeff Block. Every Premier is seed-grown and visually distinct—no two plants are exactly alike. Your one-of-a-kind specimen will mature into a velvet-leaf beauty with hues that may range from deep red to rich purple to intense green, and venation patterns from silvery to white to pink-tinged.
Ships in a 12 cm white ceramic pot.
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 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.
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.
All hail the Regal Flamingo Flower (Anthurium regale), producing some of the largest velvet foliage of any cultivated anthurium: broad, heart-shaped leaves in matte, velvety dark green, mapped with a network of pale, almost-white veins. Native to Peru's understory forests, where mature specimens ascend trees via their own aerial roots, yours arrives compact and architectural, rewarding a little patience as it settles in. Give it gentle, indirect light set back from a bright window, soil that doesn't dry out completely, and humidity on the higher end, and let it grow into its name.
Siesta™ Mint Chocolate™ ( Maranta leuconeura ) earns its name with cool green brushstrokes over each elliptical leaf, joined by rich, cocoa-brown blotches for a dessert-inspired palette that’s strictly a treat for the eyes. Give ‘Mint Chocolate’ medium to bright, indirect light, consistently damp soil, and good humidity, and — like every Maranta in the Siesta™ collection — it will fold up its patterned leaves each night in a ritual known as nyctinasty, drifting off to its own sweet dreams.
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.
