Medium Humidity

Say hello to ‘Mathilde Splash’, a stunning hybrid hoya with no shortage of freckles and speckles! ‘Mathilde’ sends out dainty vines of ovate, succulent leaves of medium green that are heavily splashed with spots of silver. ‘Mathilde’ is known for its easy-going nature, growing quickly for beginners and seasoned plant parents alike. Given the right conditions, 'Mathilde' will reward you with clusters of fragrant, fuzzy white flowers. Be sure to leave the spent flower peduncles intact, as this variety of hoya is a rebloomer.

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.

Here’s a Hoya with variegation that is hard not to love!  ‘Sea Stones’ will mesmerize you with its trusses of smooth, succulent leaves, ranging from yellow to green to even pink–if the light is just right! Like most variegated plants, ‘Sea Stones’ will have the most pronounced variegation in bright, indirect sunlight. On the rare occasion your ‘Sea Stones’ decides to bloom, it will send out clusters of dark pink, waxy flowers. When the flowers are spent, leave the spurs or peduncles in place, as this variety of hoya can rebloom on old peduncles. 

Introducing one of the daintiest hoyas in our Endless Cascades® collection, ‘Chouke’. This hybrid is a cross between Hoya carnosa and Hoya serpens, and features small, succulent, almond-shaped leaves of dark green. Leaves have a slightly felted texture, making them soft & smooth to touch. Leaves may also exhibit occasional signs of “splashing” or diffuse silver speckles. Like other hoyas, ‘Chouke’ is a rebloomer. It forms cream-colored, fragrant flowers on both new and old peduncles.

Moody, mysterious, and totally irresistible—‘Black Mamba’ is the drama queen your plant shelf’s been waiting for. With deep, velvety leaves that shimmer in the light and serrated, maple-shaped edges, this begonia serves major gothic garden vibes. Delicate, eyelash-like hairs line each leaf, giving it a soft, whimsical edge (hence the nickname eyelash begonia). Perched on fuzzy stems, it’s as textural as it is eye-catching. Give it bright, indirect light, consistent moisture, steady temps, and a little airflow, and it’ll thrive like the star it is.

Here is an unusual tropical plant, sure to ‘Uplift’ your spirits! ‘Uplift’ is an understory plant, native to the forests of South America. Each oval-shaped leaf is like a work of art, with mottling or marbling, in every shade of green–almost as if painted by an impressionist. Given the right conditions, new leaves and stems may occasionally exhibit some pinkish-red undertones. ‘Uplift’ needs bright, indirect light, but avoid placing it in direct sun. It detests cold drafts and wet feet. With consistent water and well-draining soil, ‘Uplift’ will grow on like a living masterpiece.

Give yourself the green light to adopt one of these gorgeous tricolor hoyas into your houseplant collection. Green Light™ sends out vines of succulent, almond-shaped leaves. Medium-to-dark glossy green leaves are adorned with heavy cream-colored variegation. If the conditions are just right, your Green Light™ will develop pretty pink stems and highlights, making it a real traffic-stopper! If you can get your Green Light™ to bloom, its clusters of waxy pink flowers with red centers will catch the eye of passersby. When it’s done blooming, however, be careful not to cut away the spent flower spurs, as this variety of hoya reblooms on old spurs. Like other epiphytes, this hoya prefers bright, indirect light and to dry out in between waterings.

Ahoy, plant enthusiasts, introducing Hoya ‘Adrift!’ This unusual hybrid hoya features trailing stems of elongated green leaves that are edged in maroon. ‘Adrift’ prefers medium to bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun exposure, especially if you would like it to blush some bronzey-red tones for you, however, be wary of placing it in full day sunlight, or it may get a sunburn. Like other hoyas, ‘Adrift’ prefers to dry out in between waterings. On the rare occasion that it blooms, it will send out umbels of red, waxy flower clusters. Avoid removing spent flower spurs, as ‘Adrift’ is capable of reblooming on old peduncles.

Ribbon Dance™ is the more compact, narrow-leaved counterpart to Sword Dance™, perfect for adding a little leafjoy® in your collection. This silver staghorn fern is aptly named for its strappy, elongated fronds which sway together like ribbons. These fronds are embellished with tiny scale-like hairs that give a silvery, felted appearance and help Ribbon 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.

This adorably compact fern is a dwarf variety of the common boston fern, and it is truly ‘Cute as a Button!’ It has bright, light green coloration, and when crushed, its petite leaves give off the faint scent of lemon. Its small stature and easy-to-care for nature makes it the perfect addition for adding a pop of brightness to your kitchen, bathroom, office, or other northern exposure.

Introducing Hoya ‘Freckled Splash’–a variety of wax vine with large, almond-shaped leaves of dark green that exhibit heavy splashing. This sought-after “splashing” is a silvery flecking caused by air getting trapped in between the leaves, and will be most prominent if you position your ‘Freckled Splash’ in bright, indirect light. On rare occasions, when ‘Freckled Splash’ blooms, you will be greeted with clusters of pale pink flowers with red centers. When your ‘Freckled Splash’ is done blooming, however, be careful not to cut away the spent flower peduncles, as this variety of hoya is a rebloomer.

The Ficus benjaminas of yesterday are gone! Say hello to Cling-On ‘Anastasia’, a Ficus benjamina that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Anastasia’ has slender, arching branches that carry shiny, variegated leaves of light and dark green. She can take on the form of a small tree, or grow as a multi-stemmed plant with a bushy habit. In order to keep your ‘Anastasia’ showing her most prominent variegation, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in a west- or south-facing window.

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!

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.

'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.

‘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.

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.

Every leaf on 'Obovata Variegated' makes its own splash. This hoya ( Hoya obovata ) carries thick, nearly round, succulent-like leaves, each one painted in irregular patches of creamy white to pale yellow against deep green — no two leaves splashed quite alike. Give it bright, indirect light and let the mix dry out well between waterings, and this vigorous, semi-succulent vine will happily trail from a shelf or climb given the chance, splashing its patchwork variegation wherever it goes.

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.

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. 

‘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.

Here’s a Fittonia, or nerve plant, that deserves a ‘Primetime’ spot in your lineup! This low-growing, creeping plant has petite leaves of bright, lime green, etched in veins of contrasting coral pink. It’s an absolute showstopper in a terrarium or a bright, humid spot!

Every arrow in this quiver finds its mark — meet Falling Arrows® Cupid's Quiver™ ( Syngonium podophyllum ), an arrowhead vine with a full complement of perfectly pointed leaves. Each one blushes rich pink across the top while the underside holds its green, rising on bright green stems. Give it medium to bright indirect light, spare it the harsh afternoon sun that scorches those tender edges, and water once the top inch of soil has dried. Trim it to stay compact on a desk, or let it take aim and trail. Consider yourself smitten.

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.

Stop the presses, here's the Latest News! Network News™ 'Latest News' ( Fittonia ) is a low-growing, creeping nerve plant whose dark green, oval leaves are traced with crisp, symmetrical red veining, like a headline map of everything happening on your shelf. This compact character is happiest in a warm, humid spot with bright, indirect light, such as a few feet from a north- or east-facing window, away from harsh midday sun. If it starts to stretch out, it's asking for a brighter seat. Stay tuned: 'Latest News' always has something new to share.

Igneous™ 'Ruby Rock™' ( Aglaonema commutatum ) is a gem still catching the light — deep green leaves threaded with a rich violet midrib and dusted in flecks of gold, like ore before it's polished. This Aglaonema forms a dense, upright clump of glossy, pointed leaves, and the brighter, indirect light you give it, the better that violet-and-gold variegation holds its color — though 'Ruby Rock' tolerates a dimmer corner too. Let the soil stay just barely damp, never soggy, and this easy-care gem will only grow more radiant in your collection.

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.

Ignite your indoor jungle with Mysteria® ‘Burle Marx Flame’ (Monstera dilacerata)—a rare monstera with long, narrow leaves that look like flickering green flames. Each leaf unfurls with dramatic splits and a wavy silhouette, giving this climbing beauty an eye-catching look that will turn heads in any plant collection.

Bold, untamed and impossible to ignore, Catamount® 'White Blizzard' ( Dieffenbachia ) storms in with dramatic swirls of white variegation across oversized, medium-green leaves. Strong stems support its upright, architectural form, giving it a commanding presence you won't want to leave out in the cold. This adaptable, easy-to-grow plant does best in medium to bright, indirect light with medium to high humidity, but it can handle lower light and everyday household humidity too. Just keep it out of harsh midday sun, and enjoy a forecast of nonstop style.

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.

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.

Some plants are freckled. Endless Cascades® Rosita Splash is properly splashed. This trailing hoya ( Hoya ) carries slender, pointed, succulent leaves spattered in silver from stem to tip, some so heavily marked they read almost solid, others barely dusted at all. Wiry stems run well past the rim of the pot, with the newest stems and youngest leaves blushing maroon. Like other hoyas it wants bright, indirect light and prefers to dry out between waterings, so soak it once the top inch or two of soil feels dry. No two leaves on 'Rosita Splash' splash the same.

Broad, heart-based leaves develop the signature fenestrations a Monstera fan knows on sight: the deliciosa in 'Vietciosa' ( Monstera deliciosa ) is no accident. The finish is where it parts company — cream and green-white flecks, dashes and marbling laid over deep green so no two leaves match, never in tidy half-and-half sectors. If you know Mysteria® Spotsylvania™ you know the family, but this one keeps an eye on the thermostat: grown warm, new leaves tend to arrive flecked yellow-green; kept cooler, closer to white. Bright, indirect light keeps the speckling crisp; let the soil dry down on top between waterings, and offer a moss pole for support.

Move over, African violet! Velvet Tapestry™ 'Cleopatra' ( Episcia ) is a flame violet with soft, textured leaves woven in shades of green and outlined in bright pink and white, a velvety mosaic worthy of a queen. 'Cleopatra' is extraordinary on foliage alone, but on rare occasions it may surprise you with blooms in bright, fiery shades. Give it medium to bright, indirect light, out of direct sun, with average to high humidity and evenly moist (never soggy) soil. A bathroom, kitchen or terrarium makes a fine royal court.

Endless Cascades® Teacup Anemone™ is a wax vine ( Hoya fitchii ) that sends out dainty trailing vines of medium green leaves, each one traced with pale, contrasting veining. On the rare occasion it flowers, you get clusters of waxy pink blooms that really do look like miniature anemones sitting in a saucer. Leave the spent spurs where they are, because 'Teacup Anemone' reblooms from the very same ones. Give it medium, indirect light and let the top inch or two of soil dry out between waterings. Steeped in patience, and worth every minute.

Three colors, one leaf: Endless Cascades® 'Lacunosa Tricolor' ( Hoya lacunosa ) threads cream and soft pink straight through the center of each small, gently waved leaf, leaving a clean green margin around the edge. The vines cascade to around three feet, and the variegation holds best in bright, filtered light — too dim and the pink is the first thing to go. Let the mix dry partway between waterings. A little hoya with a lot of palette.

The silver on this one does not speckle; it sweeps. Shimmering Falls® Brushed Tides™ is a satin pothos ( Scindapsus pictus ) whose broad, heart-shaped leaves carry wide washes of silver-grey pulled between the veins and pooled along the edges, each leaf rimmed in a bright silver line like a tide mark left on the shore. The finish is matte rather than glossy, so the shimmer stays soft. Give 'Brushed Tides' medium to bright indirect light to keep the silver vivid, and water once the top inch or two of soil dries. It trails, it climbs, and it never draws the same tide line twice.
