Mounding

Meet Jungle Diva® Roxie™, a striking Brazilian beauty, native to the understories of the Amazon. Roxie™ has ovate-shaped leaves that grow in a spreading, trailing habit. Leaves boast longitudinal stripes in an alternating pattern of light and dark green, with rich purple undersides. Nicknamed the “seersucker plant”, the leaves of Roxie™ show off a crinkled, undulating texture that is as unique as the puckered cotton fabric she’s named after.

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.

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!

Meet the star of the shady shelf, Jungle Diva® 'Leila' ( Geogenanthus )! True to her diva name, this dramatic seersucker plant hails from the humid forest understories of Peru and Ecuador, where she glows like a moonlit muse. Her round, glossy leaves catch the light in bold shades of ebony-green and purple, making her the moody, elegant counterpart to her preppier sister, Jungle Diva® 'Roxie'. Give 'Leila' filtered, indirect light and high humidity, and water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. A true diva, but a gracious one.

‘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.

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.

Let it snow, indoors! New Vogue® 'Feeling Frosty' ( Tradescantia hybrid ) brings all the magic of a white winter into your home as this easy-going inch plant "inches" along a shelf or desk. Its small, snow-white leaves are naturally striped with cool green, and in the right light they look almost luminescent. All that frosty foliage means less chlorophyll, so give 'Feeling Frosty' plenty of bright, indirect light, and water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. Trailing up to 20 inches, it's one cool character from leafjoy®.

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!

Woven straight into our Velvet Tapestry® collection, 'Pretty Turtle' lives up to both halves of its name: a softly fuzzy, velvet-leaved charmer ( Primulina dryas ) whose oval leaves are patterned in silver over green, with markings that echo a small turtle's shell. For years it was even sold across Europe under a borrowed name — Streptocarpus — but it's a true Primulina through and through, and every bit as endearing. Give it bright, indirect light and higher humidity, and let the soil dry slightly at the surface between waterings, and it may treat you to dainty, trumpet-shaped blooms in soft lilac to lavender — though this one's pretty enough in leaf alone.

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.

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.

‘Feeling Flirty’ is a low maintenance, easy-to-grow Tradescantia or “inch plant”, brightening any space with its carefree, colorful charm, as it grows and “inches” along. Its trailing leaves are small, not more than an inch or two in length, and a lovely shade of pinkish-purple. Leaves have cool green stripes, almost as if they were hand-painted. If the light catches ‘Feeling Flirty’ just right, and if you look close enough, you will notice that the stems have delicate hairs that curl like lashes, and the leaves sparkle, almost as if they were dusted with pixie magic. ‘Feeling Flirty’ will be the perfect playful plant for spilling out of a container or hanging basket.

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.

New Vogue™ 'Feeling Moody' ( Tradescantia ) trades bold brushstrokes for quiet detail. Her dainty, inch-long leaves carry finely penciled variegation in soft greens and whisper pink, like a hand-drawn sketch with pale pink undertones that glow as the light shifts through the day. Despite the name, 'Feeling Moody' isn't moody about care at all. Give this easygoing inch plant medium to bright, indirect light and water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, and she'll stay in a sunny mood all year.

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.

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.

Cast in silver and dusted with frost, 'Lunar Mist' ( Begonia ) looks like it caught the moonlight and never let go. Thick, plump leaves are blanketed in a dense, velvety down that catches the light in a ghostly, mineral-silver sheen, while papery sheaths wrap each stem like tiny moonlit cloaks. This compact, semi-succulent begonia is tougher than it looks — give it bright, filtered light and let it dry out well between waterings, and 'Lunar Mist' will keep its frosted glow all year long.

Network News ‘Nightly’ is the more dramatic, heavily-contrasted counterpart to ‘Daytime’. This dainty, spilling plant has ovate-shaped leaves of dark green, overlaid with beautiful pink veining.

‘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.

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.

Falling Arrows® 'Pink Splash' ( Syngonium podophyllum ) lives up to its name — every glossy, arrowhead-shaped leaf carries its own splash of pink across rich green, brightening the more light it gets. Give it medium to bright, indirect light to keep the color vivid, and water once the top inch of soil dries out. Left alone it will vine and trail; trim it back to keep the splash compact on a desk or shelf.

Lowcountry™ brings a little Southern marsh magic indoors, its slender leaves arching like tide grass caught mid-breeze. This Chlorophytum is easygoing by nature — bright, indirect light suits it best, though it won't fuss in a shadier corner, and letting the top inch of soil dry between waterings keeps it content. Tucked in its ceramic pot, it's already sending out the first gentle bends of what will become a fuller, fountaining canopy over time — an easy-care arch of green for a shelf, desk, or sunny sill.

Network News ‘Media’ is a low-growing, creeping nerve plant with smooth, ovate leaves that are awash in red coloring. Unlike most nerve plants, the red veining on ‘Media’ is bleeding into the rest of the leaves, giving the appearance of a plant that is more red than green. Like other Fittonias, ‘Media’ loves bright light and humidity.

Network News ‘Dispatch’ is the pink counterpart to Network News ‘Media’ with low-growing, creeping leaves of lime green with pink veining. Unlike most nerve plants, the pink veining on ‘Dispatch’ bleeds into the margins of the leaves, giving the appearance of a plant that is almost more pink than green. Like other Fittonias, ‘Dispatch’ loves bright light and humidity.

You won't want to sleep on Siesta® 'Kiwi Splash' ( Maranta ), although it does know exactly when it's bedtime! When night falls, its patterned leaves fold upward in a quiet ritual known as nyctinasty. By day, bright kiwi-green centers are framed by dark green markings and curved russet-red stripes radiating from the midrib, over blushing undersides. With roots in Brazil's humid rainforests, this prayer plant likes steady moisture, high humidity and medium to bright, indirect light, away from harsh midday sun. Fresh, fruity and always well rested.

Most ferns keep their best trick up in the fronds. Living Lace® Wooly Tassel™ keeps its down on the soil: this rabbit's foot fern ( Davallia fejeensis ) pairs finely cut, dark green fronds with fuzzy, light brown rhizomes that creep across the surface of the pot and dangle over the rim like little tassels. Those furry feet are the whole show, so let them wander instead of tidying them away. Keep 'Wooly Tassel' out of direct sun, which scorches the fronds, and water when the top inch of soil feels dry, never leaving it soggy. Half lace, half fringe, and entirely fern.

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 Network News™ ‘Bubble Green’, a nerve plant ( Fittonia albivenis ) with all the effervescent charm its name promises. Like other Fittonia in the collection, it stays low and compact as it fills in, its light green leaves etched end to end with bright, contrasting fuchsia-pink veins — a network of color that earns its Network News™ name. Give it bright, indirect light (it'll shrug off a dimmer spot too) and consistently damp soil, and don't let it dry out for long: ‘Bubble Green’ likes its humidity high, so a humid bathroom shelf or terrarium suits it well.

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.

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.

Feast your eyes on a tiny indulgence: Savory Delights® 'Orange Macaron' ( Peperomia )! Its rounded, dark olive green leaves are mottled in cream and orange, like caramelized sugar, while stems and leaf undersides are tinged a ruby-orange. As sweet and petite as any confection, it tops out at around 8 inches tall with finer foliage than traditional peperomias. Serve it medium to bright, indirect light for the most vivid color, rotate it now and then for even growth, and keep it out of direct sun. Zero calories, all delight.

Not your average inch plant, New Vogue™ 'Feeling Trendy' ( Tradescantia ) is setting the trend from the arid landscapes of northern Mexico. Often called the cobweb spiderwort, it has chunky leaves variegated in pale yellow and cool green, coated in a cottony layer of fuzz that helps it hold on to water and shield itself from intense sun. In your home, 'Feeling Trendy' pumps out high style with low water: give it your sunniest windowsill and treat it more like a succulent than a typical inch plant. Stay on trend and you may even be rewarded with occasional fuchsia-purple flowers.

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.

Add some zest to your collection with Siesta® 'Lemon Lime' ( Maranta )! Its smooth, elliptical leaves grow in shades of lemon yellow and lime green, accented by dark green splotches along the midrib and delicate curved lines that look almost hand-drawn. When night falls, the leaves gently fold up for their siesta, a ritual known as nyctinasty. This prayer plant isn't the easiest squeeze, so give it consistent moisture, extra humidity and medium to bright, indirect light, away from harsh midday sun. Treat it right, and life's a refreshing twist.

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.

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.
