Boston Ferns are the easiest of the fern family to care for and look stunning. With its vivid green leaves and elegant shape, they are sure to transform any space. Light and Water They thrive in any light levels from bright indirect light to shadier corners of the room. When looking after one at home, the rule is to never let a Boston fern dry out. Make sure to keep the soil moist and humidity level high. Water when the surface becomes slightly dry. Do not over water and use lukewarm, soft water where possible. Keeping them in a humid room like the bathroom is a good idea, otherwise it is recommended to mist regularly when in kept in other rooms, especially in the winter. Although it's very tempting, try to resist touching their fronds as they really don't like it and it might turn them brown.
More commonly known as Crotons, they will add an explosion of colour to any room. With their vibrant foliage changing as they mature and many leaf forms on different species. In their native habitats, Crotons like humid, warm conditions with dappled light and plentiful water. The problem indoors is typically temperature—when it is too cold, they start losing leaves so avoid keeping them near cold drafts. However, Crotons are well worth the effort because a well-grown Croton is an explosion of colour. Light and Water Crotons need bright, indirect light. They do not like unfiltered, direct sunlight, but thrive in dappled sunlight. Vibrant colours depend on bright light so put in some effort to find the perfect place in your house. A Croton knows only two seasons: a warm, rainy growth phase, followed by a cool, dry dormancy period. Keep them evenly moist in the summer and reduce watering in the winter to biweekly but don’t let the soil get completely dry. Mist frequently during the growth period (March to October) to encourage new growths. Humidity, along with the lack of bright light, also affects the colour of the leaves. Keep the humidity level at 40 to 80 percent. If the humidity isn't high enough, the plant may drop some of its leaves. If you have trouble maintaining the humidity in your home at this level, run a humidifier in the room or set a humidity tray beneath the plant and group it with other plants.

Sometimes called split rocks or pebble plants, living stone plants are extremely drought-resistant and are widely popular in low-water gardens in desert regions. Lithops are fascinating little succulents. The living stone plant is very sensitive to the seasons of the year but can live for decades. Lithops have no true stem and much of the plant is beneath the soil surface. All that’s visible above the ground’s surface is usually a pair of fleshy, succulent leaves that look like stones, with a crevice between them. These leaves have window-like cells on the leaf surfaces. These transparent areas are filled with calcium oxalate, which creates a reflective facet that increases light penetration. They can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but outdoor growers should be careful that they don’t get too much water. They thrive in desert condition with infrequent moisture and intense sunlight. Therefore, mimicking Lithops growing condition is important to keep them healthy. Light and Water Indoors you can keep them anywhere from direct sunlight to partial shade. Be very careful, when growing living stones, not to overwater. These little succulents do not need to be watered in their dormant season, which is autumn to spring. During spring to summer, the trick is to water only when the soil is thoroughly dry (test by inserting a wooden skewer into the soil, and check if it's moist when removed). When you do, drench it and allow it to dry completely before watering again. If you feel like you need to water a little bit due to any signs of shrinkage in the leaves, its best to do a little at a time and in the mornings so it can evaporate if its overwatered.
The Fittonia family are sometimes called Mosiac Plants or Nerve Plants for the beautiful patterning it grows on its leaves. A tropically found plant the striking leaves come in combinations pink and green, white and green, or green and red. Foliage is primarily olive green with veining taking on the alternate hue. This variety is a classic of green with white “nerve/mosaic” lacing on its leaves. Light and Water Placed in a warm area, avoiding drafts with bright indirect or dappled light to mimic rainforest environments. Avoid direct sunlight and low to complete shade. As the nerve plant originates in a tropical setting, it flourishes within a high humidity environment. Misting may be required to maintain humid-like conditions. Alternatively, you can set up with a pebble tray and combine it with other high humidity loving plants to create the suitable environment. Fittonia nerve plant likes well drained moist soil, but not too wet. Water moderately and let growing nerve plants dry out between watering. Use room temperature water on the plant to avoid shock.
