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.

Like other Epipremnums with variegated foliage, Golden Glen will display its most radiant marbling if placed in ample light.

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.

Hailing from the lush tropics of Indonesia is another exceptional aroid–behold the beauty of Art Deco™ Opulence™ (Apoballis acuminatissima). This jewel of a tropical plant features silky smooth, sword-shaped leaves, adorned with opulent silvery patterning. It looks like one of nature's masterpieces! Leaf uppers have varying shades of grayish-green; stems and undersides are a contrasting, regal shade of burgundy, making it clear why this plant is sometimes referred to as "Red Sword". The true luxury of ‘Opulence’, however, lies not just in its artful appearance, but in how easy it is to care for! It can thrive in medium light, with regular moisture and an occasional dose of fertilizer.

Introducing ‘Double-Edged Sword”–a clumping, upright philodendron worthy of adding to your arsenal. It has dark green, lance-shaped leaves, with toothy, serrated edges. The leaves are puckered along the midrib on either side, giving them a wavy quality. In terms of adaptability, ‘Double-Edged Sword’ is a cut above most houseplants, tolerating a wide variety of light levels; it does, however, grow fastest in bright, indirect light. The occasional leaf shine will go a long way in keeping your ‘Double-Edged Sword’ looking its sharpest.

Here’s a BOO-tiful Ficus elastica for your houseplant collection–Chroma® Ghost Rider™.

She can take on the form of a small tree, or grow as a multi-stemmed plant with a bushy habit.

Perhaps the most dazzling variety in our Shimmering Falls® collection is a Scindapsus known as ‘Kalimantan’. This Borneo-native features sparkling trusses of waxy, ovate-shaped leaves in cool tones of mint green. Leaves are accented with soft emerald green variegation and awash with tiny sparkles of silver, almost as if they have been sprinkled with pixie dust. You can take care of your ‘Kalimantan’ in much the same way you would care for a Philodendron or a Pothos. Provide medium to bright, indirect light, water when the top 1-2 inches of soil dries out, and fertilize occasionally, and your Scindapsus will send out vines of shimmering, falling leaves.

With leaves that hang like the airy lights of a chandelier, Ficus bengalensis or Chandelier ‘Happiness’ is sure to brighten up any space and put a smile on your face. Also known as a Banyan Tree fig, this ficus is a delightful alternative to the finicky fiddle leaf fig. Native to India, where it thrives as a grand canopy tree, Chandelier ‘Happiness’ can be grown into a graceful, upright & well-mannered shape in your home; in years it will have a tree form.  It has smooth, light-colored stems that grow woody over time, and oval-shaped leaves of medium green, with contrasting, light-colored veining and irresistible peach fuzz coating. To keep your ‘Happiness’ its happiest, and prevent it from growing overly leggy, give it as much bright light as possible and keep it away from cold drafts in winter.

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.

‘Samantha’ is another Ficus benjamina in our Cling-On collection, that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Samantha’ grows in an elegant multi-stemmed, bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold glossy, bright green leaves, edged in creamy variegation. In order to keep your ‘Samantha’ 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.

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.

‘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.

You’ll be sure to enjoy the low maintenance splendor that befalls BeautiFall® N'Joy Pothos. N'Joy has heavy cream-colored variegation on green leaves, much more pronounced that the marbling one might find on BeautiFall ‘Snowy Morning.’ Leaves on N'Joy are also spade-shaped, but slightly smaller and thinner than those of a typical pothos. For the most well-defined display of ‘N’Joy’s’ white margins, place her in bright, indirect light. Enjoy!

Leaves have an unusual corrugated texture and silvery-green markings down the center of each half, giving them even more dimension and the look of sculpted gothic symbols.

This horticultural heartthrob–PrismaColor ‘Orange Smooth’ ( Philodendron billietiae), also known as “Billie & Philidor”, is sure to earn a place in your heart and your plant collection! This philodendron has large, elongated, spear-shaped leaves of green.

Leaves are striped in chartreuse, white, and green. ‘Urban Urchin’ is a perfect space-saving dracaena to display in your home or workplace.

‘Silver Sea Monkey’ features strappy, spiky, striped leaves that swirl around a central cane. Leaves are striped in brushstrokes of silvery-green, white, and dark green, and have slightly-waved edges that give ‘Silver Sea Monkey’ the appearance of drifting in an unseen current. Like its namesake pet, ‘Silver Sea Monkey’ needs little in way of care, beyond a few hours of bright, indirect light each day, and fresh water in its glass vase.

Treat your indoor jungle to the delightful Philodendron rubrijuvenile ‘Toasted Toffee.’ This charming philodendron showcases velvety heart-shaped leaves, beautifully embossed with light-colored veining. The leaves emerge in warm, inviting shades of toasted toffee before transitioning to a deep green. The stems and undersides retain their rich toffee and red hues, adding a pop of color. Native to the Choco region of Ecuador and Colombia, ‘Toasted Toffee’ thrives as an understory plant, making it a perfect choice for low-light environments.

This iconic houseplant has become a staple in many homes, and for good reason. It is an easy grower, and the fenestrated leaves with their unusual holes and slits are truly eye-catching! Juvenile plant foliage will be solid, and fenestrations will appear over time as the plant gets bigger and grows. There are a lot of common names for this plant, including Swiss Cheese Plant, Swiss Cheese Vine, Mexican Breadfruit, Split-Leaf Philodendron, and more. Please note that while this is NOT a Philodendron, the genera Monstera and Philodendron are indeed related.

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. 

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.

If there was a mashup between bananas and barnacles, you would end up with a ‘Bananacle’ Dracaena. Bananacle features strappy, sword-shaped leaves with banana yellow edges that curve around a central cane like bananas. Leaves are striped with green and creamy white down the centers. You’ll want to collect ‘Bananacle’ and the other Dracaenas in our collection, like barnacles on a ship!

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.
