Medium Light

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.

Light, airy and almost otherworldly, Living Lace® 'Ethereal' ( Asparagus ) is the most weightless thread in the Living Lace® collection. Its feather-soft, thread-like foliage seems to float, swaying in even the slightest breeze. Here's a little secret: despite its delicate looks, 'Ethereal' isn't a true fern at all. It belongs to the asparagus family, which makes it far more adaptable and forgiving than its lacy looks suggest. Give it medium, indirect light and a bit of humidity, and let this graceful plant bring a soft, dreamy touch to your space.

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.

Introducing Shimmering Falls® ‘Sage and Cream™’, a low-maintenance classic with a touch of elegance built right in ( Scindapsus pictus ). This satin pothos boasts thick, heart-shaped leaves of rich green, lined in fine silvery edges and sprinkled with splotches of variegation in sparkling shades of sage and cream. Feeling this silky-smooth foliage, you’ll understand why this species earned the nickname “Satin Pothos.” Care for ‘Sage and Cream’ the way you would any pothos — medium to bright, indirect light, and a drink once the top 1–2 inches of soil dries out — and it will reward you with vines of shimmering, cascading leaves.

Pop the cork for Falling Arrows® Champaign Reign™ ( Syngonium podophyllum ), a bubbly blend of ease and elegance. This arrowhead vine unfurls pale, shimmering green leaves splashed with effervescent champagne pink — no toast required, just a little care and it'll outlast any glass of bubbly. Give it medium to bright, indirect light and let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings, and 'Champaign Reign' will keep the celebration going, trimmed compact for a desk or left to trail freely and fizz over the pot's edge.

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.

Beautifall® 'Sea Storm' ( Epipremnum ) brings all the drama of a churning ocean indoors. Its narrow, cream-colored leaves are flecked and frosted with green like sea spray against a ship, with even more cream variegation than a typical 'Marble Queen' pothos, so every leaf looks like foam on the surf. Like other variegated pothos, it shows its most tempestuous tones in plenty of bright, indirect light, such as an east- or west-facing window. Let it trail from a shelf or climb a moss pole, and enjoy smooth sailing through any storm.

If you love the bold variegation of 'N'Joy', get ready to meet its bigger, even better cousin: Beautifall® 'Icy Mammoth' ( Epipremnum ). True to its ice-age name, this pothos grows jumbo, heart-shaped leaves splashed in layers of cream, jade and deep green, all rising from cream-colored stems. Best of all, its dramatic color pattern is stable, so you'll enjoy that frosty variegation leaf after leaf. Let it trail or climb a moss pole, and give it medium to bright, indirect light, such as an east- or west-facing window. A mammoth presence, minus the tusks.

‘Tasmanian Tiger’ boasts large, dark green leaves with mottled yellow striping that mimics the majestic stripes of a tiger. Growing quite large over time, ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ has the potential to reign supreme over your collection–especially if it is given medium to bright light, consistent moisture, and warm temperatures above 60 degrees. This is an easy-to-grow variety, overall, but it does not like cold drafts. The common name for this plant is “dumb cane” because consumption of its sap may cause throat swelling & speechlessness, thus rendering one “dumb.”
