Named after the Malay word for “tortoise” or the Indonesian word for “turtle” is a unique tropical plant known as ‘Kura Kura’ Labisia. This rare, eye catching specimen has elliptical-shaped, glossy leaves adorned with the patterns and textures of a turtle’s shell. Though an often slow grower, ‘Kura Kura’ will thrive in a warm, high-humidity environment, making it especially well-suited for life under glass.
Introducing a tropical beauty, as bright and fabulous as her namesake–Shining Sea Star™! This pretty-in-pink hoya is a pristine selection of ‘Flamingo Dreams’–a sport of the iconic ‘Krimson Queen’. She dazzles onlookers with her trusses of ovate green leaves with vibrant pink variegation. Unlike the ‘Krimson Queen’, however, the pink variegation of Shining Sea Star™ does not fade as leaves age. To keep your Shining Sea Star™ the star of your collection, give her as much bright, indirect light as possible–perhaps even some early morning sunshine! This variety of hoya is primarily grown for her steadfast pink variegation, but she may grace you with cream-to-pink flowers, if you keep her happy.
We invite you to step ‘Into the Night’ and embrace the shadows of this compact jewel alocasia. It has arrowhead-shaped leaves that are so dark green, they are almost as dark as the midnight sky. Stems are lighter green, occasionally tinged with hints of purple. ‘Into the Night’ is touchably soft, cloaked in a velvety layer of fuzz. Like other creatures of the twilight, this alocasia will thrive in a dewy, high humidity atmosphere.
Mythic ‘Quicksilver’ will dazzle you with its silvery, gray-green leaves, reminiscent of moonlit skies. Their thick, rubbery texture is a tactile delight that will beckon you to reach out for a touch. Leaves have veins that radiate out from the midrib in a darker green hue, creating a mesmerizing contrast against that silvery backdrop. ‘Quicksilver’ will offer a touch of celestial magic to your collection.
Meet Sweet Dreams® First Frost™, a ctenanthe or never never plant, that will give you all the goosebumps of a frosty morning. Smooth, elliptical-shaped leaves grow on tall shoots in an upright, clumping habit. Leaves are silvery-green with brushstrokes of medium green radiating out from the midrib. Leaves turn down during the day to bask in bright, indirect light; at night, however, they fold up like other varieties in the prayer plant family.
Here’s a BOO-tiful Ficus elastica for your houseplant collection–Chroma® Ghost Rider™. This rubber plant has glossy, ovate-shaped leaves, splattered in varying shades of green and ghostly, creamy white. Leaf petioles are red to orange, and grow from green stems. Like other rubber plants, Ghost Rider™ grows in an upright habit. Unlike its nocturnal namesake, however, this rare cultivar thrives in the light of day, and will reveal its ghostly allure and the spectral beauty of its variegation most prominently when given bright light.
Prismacolor ‘Orange you Gorgeous’ is a philodendron that will have you saying “Orange you Gorgeous!” This tropical houseplant is a living kaleidoscope of citrus-inspired colors, with elongated, spade-shaped leaves emerging a mottled bright orange color, then slowly fading to a marbled tapestry of gold & green. Leaf petioles, midribs, and margins have a warm, orangey glow, reminiscent of a sunrise over a tropical grove. Given the light it craves & structure, ‘Orange you Gorgeous’ will reach towards the sun, unfurling lush, large leaves as refreshing as a sip of fresh-squeezed orange juice on a summer day.
Briëlle™ carries a hint of shine in the name, and the DocBlock® line delivers it in velvet: a cleanly drawn, softly lustrous leaf that Dr. Jeff Block spent decades selecting for, and that turns up again and again in the DocBlock Premier™ crosses drawn from this line. This is the refined end of the collector Anthuriums, less theatrical than its dark-veined relatives and all the more composed for it. Give it gentle, indirect light set back from a bright window, keep the humidity up, and let the top of the soil dry between waterings. It arrives potted in a white ceramic cachepot.
Bow down to the beauty of ‘Say Grace’! This Maranta or Prayer Plant hails from the rainforests of Brazil and appreciates humidity. It features smooth, elliptical-shaped leaves that grow in a spilling, trailing habit. The leaves are various shades of green with darker splotches along either side of the midrib and random brushstrokes of cream to lime green variegation. As its name implies, ‘Say Grace’ is a devout follower of its own bedtime rituals, folding up its leaves at night, as if in prayer!
Bring bold tropical flair to your space with the stunning ColorFull® Beauty Star Pinstripe Calathea. This eye-catching plant is instantly recognizable by its artistic foliage—deep green leaves adorned with striking brushstrokes of lime green, pink, and soft white. Flip a leaf to reveal its dramatic dark purple underside, a surprise burst of color that steals the spotlight as the leaves gently curl each evening in response to the light. A true living work of art, this Calathea thrives in bright, indirect light and adds vibrant energy to any room or plant collection.
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.
Meet Prismacolor ‘Golden Girl,’ a philodendron that’s as good as gold. She has elongated, lance-shaped leaves with toothy edges. Her shiny, bright green leaves are flecked in golden variegation. On occasion, pops of red, bronze, or orange will adorn her leaves, stems, and sheaths. Given the proper support, such as a moss pole, ‘Golden Girl’ will ascend skyward on her quest for a golden crown. Like other philodendrons, ‘Golden Girl’ is adaptable to her environment & easy to care for; bright, indirect light will result in the most pronounced variegation.
'Lipstick Pink' ( Aglaonema commutatum ) brings a bold swipe of color to our Igneous™ Chinese Evergreen lineup — glossy green leaves painted in vivid pink, with new growth emerging in the boldest blush tones before settling into rich green-and-pink patterning along rosy petioles. Bright, indirect light is what keeps that pigment at its boldest — true to easy-care Aglaonema form, 'Lipstick Pink' will still get by in a dimmer corner, just with its blush toned down a shade. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings to keep this Chinese Evergreen looking freshly touched-up.
The only snowdrift you'll actually want to deal with this winter is Prismacolor™ 'Snowdrift' ( Philodendron ). If you love splashy hybrid philodendrons like 'Pink Princess' or 'White Wizard', you'll fall for this one too. Its painterly leaves unfurl in soft shades of golden yellow, ivory and light green, speckled with fine flecks of dark green, and midribs and stems may show subtle pink hues. No two leaves are ever the same. Give it bright, indirect or filtered light to keep the colors at their brightest, and let it drift into the spotlight of your collection.
Named for the Thai highlands it hails from, Endless Cascades® 'Loei' ( Hoya sp. ) splashes irregular silver markings across narrow, olive-green leaves — leathery, slightly arched, and lined with fine parallel veins. It's a twining epiphyte and a patient grower, so let it take its time heading wherever you point it. Bright, filtered light keeps the silver splashing bold, and an airy, fast-draining mix suits its epiphytic roots; water once the top inch has dried.
If it's an Anthurium your heart desires, then look no further than Arching Amour™ 'Heart's Afire' ( Anthurium hybrid ). This velvet-leaf anthurium unfurls smooth, velveteen-soft, heart-shaped leaves sure to earn your affection — new growth blushes in bronzey-red undertones, like a heart truly afire, before aging to a resplendent dark green laced with intricate, light-colored veining. 'Heart's Afire' is epiphytic and prefers gentle, indirect light set back from a bright window, in well-draining soil; just don't let it sit in soggy soil, or its flame may burn out.
Every hand needs a ‘Queen of Hearts’ — this velvet-leaf cultivar (Anthurium hybrid) is the best card in the deck. New leaves emerge in deep red, bronze, and blush pink before maturing into a rich, near-black green, each one traced with pale, silvery veins for striking contrast. Upright and architectural, with long petioles holding each heart-shaped leaf aloft, ‘Queen of Hearts’ asks for bright, indirect light, high humidity, and water once the soil has mostly dried — just never let it sit wet. Deal yourself in for a royal flush of color.
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.
Meet Twilight Tassel™, a moody take on the classic Rabbit’s Foot Fern. It won’t bring you good luck, but it does have fuzzy rhizomes that creep along the soil’s surface like the feet of rabbits. From those pettably soft rhizomes, lacy fronds emerge in the reddish shades of sunset before deepening into a rich, glossy green–like the last light fading below the horizon at twilight. Keep your Twilight Tassel™ out of direct sunlight and evenly moist for best performance.
Consider ‘Cracklin Rosie’ ( Begonia hybrid ) officially electric: this cane begonia's fluted, pleated leaves emerge copper-bronze, then deepen into bronze or ease into olive-green depending on the light — brighter light keeps the bronze bold, softer light lets the green take over — with every leaf dusted in a galaxy of tiny silvery-pink spots. Turn a leaf over to discover a stunning contrast: a rich maroon backing that beautifully frames every wavy edge. Bred for drama, ‘Cracklin Rosie’ grows upright and full in bright, indirect light; let the top inch of soil dry between waterings and keep the humidity up, and its sparkling foliage will only get bolder.
‘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.
Wander into the Dappled Forest, where sunlight slips through the canopy and lands wherever it pleases. Endless Cascades® 'Dappled Forest' ( Hoya ) captures that same magic: this hybrid hoya sends out vines of dark green, lance-shaped leaves in pairs, each spotted with soft, silvery splashes that mimic flickers of sunshine through the woods. Give it bright, indirect or filtered light to keep its markings at their best; a little gentle morning sun may even bring out a sought-after blush. Your own little forest walk, no hiking boots required.
This blushing philodendron, known as Prismacolor ‘Fall Leaves’ embodies the vibrance of fall, all year-round. Bright red stems grow in an upright, clumping habit, and push out new spade-shaped leaves that gradually change from red to amber to green over time–just like an autumnal masterpiece! Like other philodendrons, an occasional spray of leaf shine will keep your ‘Fall Leaves’ looking its best.

It looks luxurious, but 'Timeless Tides' is remarkably easy to care for, like the other Chinese evergreens in our Igneous® collection. It will tolerate a range of light levels, isn't picky about humidity, and is forgiving of inconsistent watering.
If you're looking for frills without the fuss, button up with Living Lace® 'Dainty Buttons' ( Nephrolepis ). This adorable fern has medium-green fronds, finely textured with alternating leaflets edged in tiny serrations, for a soft, ruffled look that's pure classic fern charm. Place it in medium, indirect light, such as an east- or north-facing window without midday sun, and keep the humidity up with a humidifier, regular misting or a pebble tray. Cute as a button and twice as easy to love, it's the perfect way to add a little leafjoy® to any shelf.

Meet Endless Cascades® 'Sarawak Cream' ( Hoya latifolia ), a hoya native to Borneo that trades the family's usual dainty foliage for something far grander. Its big, broad leaves are substantial and smooth, with the lustrous finish that gives wax plants their name, in medium green traced with fine, contrasting veins. Give it bright, indirect light — a little gentle morning sun is welcome, harsh afternoon glare is not — and let the mix dry slightly between waterings. Its vines will spill over the rim of the pot or twine up a small support, and either way 'Sarawak Cream' makes itself right at home.
Its name says it all: Tropical Tendrils™ 'Tahitian Dreamin'' brings warm, breezy island vibes into your space. This upward-reaching Piper ( Piper sylvaticum ) unfurls fine vines of heart-shaped leaves brushed in silver over dark green veining, for an almost-reptilian shimmer. Give it a few hours of gentle morning sun and it may blush pink for an even dreamier display — just keep it out of harsh direct light, or it may get a sunburn. This one ships on its own Climb-itt™ support, thriving in a warm, humid spot with medium light.
Here’s an unusual variety of Hoya, grown for its uniquely patterned foliage. Hoya callistophylla ‘Shadow Falls’ sends out vines of light green, lanceolate leaves, patterned or “shadowed” with dark green veining in a pinnate pattern. On the rare occasion it blooms, it sends out little clusters of pale, citrus-scented blooms with edges that blush over time. When your ‘Shadow Falls’ is done blooming, be careful not to cut away the spent flower spurs, as this variety of hoya reblooms on old spurs.
Here's a Hoya grown for foliage that looks dusted in silver. Endless Cascades® 'Mitrata Silver' (Hoya mitrata) sends out vines of long, lance-shaped leaves, freckled and mottled edge to edge in cool pewter over deep green, no two patterned quite alike. Like most hoyas it prefers medium to bright, indirect light — the brighter the light, the more pronounced that silver becomes — and likes to dry out in between waterings. On the rare occasion it blooms, it sends out clusters of ivory flowers with a red center, crowned like the bishop's mitre that gives the species its name. When the flowers are spent, leave the spurs in place, as hoyas rebloom on old peduncles.
Anthurium 'Black Velvet' (Anthurium hybrid) carries the matte, velvety surface the name promises, in the deep near-black tones that make a velvet-leaf Anthurium worth collecting. Give it gentle, indirect light set well back from a bright window, keep the humidity up, and let the top of the soil dry between waterings. It arrives potted in a white ceramic cachepot, ready to anchor the quietest corner of your collection.
Count to five and you'll have this one figured out: Endless Cascades® 'Quinquenervia' ( Hoya quinquenervia ) wears its name in its veins — five bold ribs fanning out from the base of every leaf. The foliage is slender, sturdy and glossy in deep green, with new growth unfurling in reddish-purple; give it bright light and the mature leaves can take on a red blush too. Those slimmer leaves hold less water than a typical hoya, so water before the mix dries out completely. Five veins, endless trailing.
Look for elongated, teardrop leaves that emerge in burgundy-red velvet and harden to nearly black, traversed by clean white longitudinal veins with minimal lateral bridging—a hallmark of the Black Widow line. Pink-tinged leaf reverses add a final layer of contrast.

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.
Some hearts are made of gold; Endless Cascades® Silver Heart™ went for something rarer. This trailing hoya ( Hoya acuta ) wears its heart on every vine — thick, softly rounded leaves washed almost edge to edge in cool pewter silver, freckled with deep green along their edges and strung along slender russet stems that spill over the rim of the pot and just keep going. Give it bright, indirect light and let the soil dry out completely between waterings — those succulent leaves keep their own reserves — and 'Silver Heart' will cascade for you, one silver lining at a time.
This pairing concentrates the cultivar’s most characteristic traits: bright purple-to-red emergent leaves, deep green mature foliage, and bold red-and-silver venation. A reference-quality selection for collectors building a Zara-centric Anthurium collection.
