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.
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.
Look for elongated, teardrop leaves that emerge in burgundy-red velvet and harden to nearly black, traversed by clean white longitudinal veins with minimal lateral bridging—a hallmark of the Black Widow line. Pink-tinged leaf reverses add a final layer of contrast.
The DocBlock™ Premier™ collection from leafjoy® houseplants showcases premium hybrid Anthuriums born from decades of award-winning selective breeding by Dr. Jeff Block. Every Premier is seed-grown and visually distinct—no two plants are exactly alike. Your one-of-a-kind specimen will mature into a velvet-leaf beauty with hues that may range from deep red to rich purple to intense green, and venation patterns from silvery to white to pink-tinged.
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.
‘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.
‘Danielle’ 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. ‘Danielle’ can be grown as a small tree, or as an elegant multi-stemmed plant with a bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold gorgeous, dark green leaves. In order to keep your ‘Danielle’ looking her best, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in an east- or west-facing window. A southern exposure would also be ideal.
Grace can be found with the unfurling of each leaf of ‘Like a Prayer.’ This calathea or prayer plant, has rounded leaves poised atop dark-colored stems. The leaves are adorned in a mesmerizing pattern of concentric circles in alternate brushstrokes of light green and dark green. The midribs are a contrasting shade of pink, and the undersides are a rich shade of burgundy-purple. As daylight wanes, the leaves fold up ‘Like a Prayer’.
Ficus ‘Tineke’ is an iconic Rubber Plant, with sleek, ovate-shaped leaves that are beautifully variegated. Variegation is best described as splotches of light to dark green with creamy yellow margins. Leaves unfurl from pinkish sheaths, and have midribs that also display pinkish coloration. Dust the leaves of your ‘Tineke’ to keep them looking polished & pretty.
Expect long, teardrop leaves that arrive in luminous red velvet, mature toward dark green, and carry pink-to-white venation across the blade with pink-tinged reverses—an expressive, color-forward Premier.

Chandelier ‘Celebrate’ or Ficus microcarpa, is a delightful houseplant that could grow into a small tree in years. It has an upright, tree-like demeanor, with stems that turn woody over time, and support oblong oval leaves of medium green. These leaves, smooth and shiny, bear a warm gentle glow, especially when they’re newly emerging. Midribs are distinctly light in color. ‘Celebrate’ is a botanical masterpiece, in and of itself, but like other Ficus microcarpa, it would make an excellent specimen for sculpting in the ancient art of bonsai.
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.
Every leaf on Anthurium 'Renaissance' ( Anthurium hybrid ) is a painting: strokes of pink and splashes of cream on fields of multi-layered green. This bird's nest anthurium builds an upright rosette of glossy deep green brushed with cream and pale gold, and no two plants are marked alike, so we hand-grade them as low or high variegation and let you choose.
Low variegation plants will carry a mix of creamy dappling and fully green leaves.
High variegation plants will flaunt bold ivory sweeps, often with new leaves emerging in soft coral pink.
Give yours gentle, indirect light well back from a sunny window, keep the humidity up, and let the top of the soil dry between waterings. It arrives potted in a white ceramic cachepot.
Also known as dracaena trifasciata, sansevieria trifasciata or mother-in-law's tongue, snake plants are native to tropical West Africa. Because they store water in their leaves, they're virtually indestructible. These popular, low-maintenance plants grow slowly and, depending on the variety, can reach anywhere from eight inches to 12 feet with proper care.

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.

Every hand needs a ‘Queen of Hearts’ — this velvet-leaf cultivar (Anthurium hybrid) is the best card in the deck.
