Purple Leaves

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.

Introducing Prismacolor ‘Zigzag’, the perfect philodendron for showcasing your edgy style. This plant is as much a sculptural delight as it is a low maintenance green companion. It has distinctive, wide leaves with deeply-lobed, zig-zagged edges. New leaves emerge in bronzey-red with purple undertones, and mature over time to shiny, dark green. Medium to bright light and the occasional leafshine will keep your ‘Zigzag’ looking vibrant and sharp.

Among the dynasty of plants that move their leaves with the rhythm of day and night, this calathea is the 'Royal Standard'! Color Full® 'Royal Standard' ( Calathea ) has medallion-like leaves with shimmering silvery-green centers framed by deep emerald margins, standing tall with grace and grandeur. Like other prayer plants, its leaves fold upward at night to show off rich purple undersides. Give it medium to bright, indirect light, keep the soil moist but not soggy, and water with filtered water, since calatheas are sensitive to tap water. Long may it reign.

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.

Calathea 'Bicajoux Gecko' ( Calathea hybrid ) doesn't need camouflage to get noticed. This bushy, rosette-forming Calathea unfurls leaves striped with striking markings, with leaf undersides that glow deep violet-burgundy in the light. Unlike most Calathea grown purely for foliage, 'Bicajoux Gecko' earns its keep twice over — bright pink flowers can appear and hold on for months, a rare bonus in this famously foliage-first family. Like other Calathea, it's a shade lover: keep it out of direct sun, let the soil stay evenly damp, and give it the humidity it thrives in, and 'Bicajoux Gecko' will keep both its leaves and its flowers on display.
