The Haworthia Fasciata or “Zebra Plant” is a common household succulent. It’s perfect for beginners, be-cause it grows well indoors when taken care of properly. It also propagates easily, which makes it perfect for arrangements or gifts. This succulent is also great for your indoor succulent garden. It has thick, dark green leaves with white horizontal stripes on the outside of the leaves. Light and Water Display this plant anywhere it can receive plenty of direct sunlight or bright light. During the growing season from April - September water the plant thoroughly and then water when the soil becomes dry to the touch. It’s best to use the “soak and dry” method. Fully soaking the soil but watering from above or submerging and allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions. Winter is a tricky time for these plants although they are a tough species. Many growers will overwater then alongside cold temperatures or drafts the plant can become very sick, or even die. The leaves are storage organs so during the winter water much less and allow the topsoil to dry out.
Native to South America dwelling in rain forests, the Peperomia ferreyrae is a perennial epiphyte semi - succulent plant species that differs very much in its appearance to many other peperomia species. This makes this plant a real talking point, as the slightly fleshy leaves look just like French beans. Light and Water Keep it in a semi-shaded or bright spot with protection from direct sun. Water moderately in summer - allowing the compost to get reasonably dry before repeating the process. Water sparingly in winter. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter.
Caladiums are often known as Elephant Ears from their large heart shaped leaves. Most varieties display colour combinations of red, whites, pinks and greens. This stunning plant is adorned with pink candy-striped leaves and will and beautiful pop of colour to any home. Traditionally an outdoor plant, they can be adapted to indoor with some effort, but it will be worth it at this will extend their foliar season so you can stare at those attractive leaves all year round. The plants love hot, humid weather and grow best in full to partial shade, though most varieties can also be grown in full sun if they get plenty of water. So, mist often and keep them warm. If they are outside in a hanging garden or container, bring them indoors during the winter months if you want to preserve the foliage, otherwise they will die back down to their tubers until the next growing season or die completely if exposed to frost. Light and Water Indoor Caladium plants require a medium light area with protection from midday sun, which will scorch the leaves. A northern or eastern window is usually the best exposure. Humidity is crucial to Caladium houseplant care as the tubers are native to South American tropical forests and produce seasonal foliage during the rainy, warm season. Keeping the humidity high in a heated home may be done with misting and by placing a saucer filled with pebbles and water under the container. The evaporation will moisten the ambient air and provide the humidity necessary for your Caladium. Keep your plant away from heating vents which will blow dry air and drafty windows or doors. Please note that these come to us as mixed plants so we cannot guarantee which variety will arrive to us. They will all be beautiful varieties with variations of red/pink/green/white leaves.
From the Ornamental Fig family, the Rubber Plant has been a popular houseplant from the Victorian times, but now there are newer and better varieties like this form with larger, and wider glossy leaves. Light and Water Although we recommend that it is grown in bright but indirect light, Rubber Plants will tolerate a couple of hours of morning sunshine. These are easy plants to care for as long as you are careful with the watering. Only water once the compost is dry to touch, and make sure that the plant isn't left standing in water. You can mist the leaves during the summer to increase the humidity. Occasionally wash the leaves with a damp sponge or cloth to keep the foliage glossy. Try to maintain an average temperature no lower than 12°C in the winter and avoid any sudden drops in the temperature and cold draughts.
The Monstera plant (or Swiss Cheese plant) has become a common household tropical plant adorning spaces with its wonderfully large and unique foliage. We love this hybrid variety with perforated holes in the glossy leaves. In your house they’re guaranteed to be unlike any other foliage heavy plants you own. Monsteras needs lots of space when mature, so as it begins to outgrow its pot, move it to a statement-making spot in the living room, rather than in a tight corner or on a windowsill. If it gets too big for your liking, you can always trim off one of the largest leaf or two and display them in a vase. In the wild these grow in tropical rainforest in crevices between trees and the gaps in the leaves allow for light to reach its lower foliage. They make an interesting hanging basket or can be grown on a totem pole or other support. Light and Water It’s not hard to take care of and is tolerant of surprisingly low light. Avoid direct sunlight and place anywhere from low light to bright indirect light. Find a balance between sun and shade where possible. If Monstera is given too much sun, the leaves will yellow. If it’s left in the dark, the plant will exhibit something called negative phototropism, where new leaves grow towards the dark, rather than the light. In the jungle, this would signal to the plant the presence of a large tree which it will grow toward in an attempt to climb it. As with all plants from the tropics, Keep in a fairly humid environment either with regular misting or a pebble tray. Water your Monstera moderately and evenly, about once a week. Wait until the soil is fairly dry before watering again.
