The String of Pearls plant is an apt name, with its round, succulent-like leaves carried down long, slender stems. Despite its delicate appearance, this unusual succulent house plant is a vigorous grower, quickly creeping across the surface of the pot, then cascading down the side. Its trailing stems can reach 2-3 ft (60-90 cm). If long stems become straggly, you can cut them off, this type pruning will help encourage new growths and you can propagate cuttings too. Light and Water Keep in bright light with some direct sunlight. Although beautiful, it can be a little fussy when it comes to care. It likes the soil on the dryer side as it is very vulnerable to rot, and it needs to be in a consistently warm, bright spot. In winter, when less light is available, reduce watering to an absolute minimum. Try watering your plant to keep it moist during growing seasons (spring, summer) and cut back in winter to just enough so the soil doesn’t dry out. Beads that look flat are a sign that the soil is too dry. Give it a good drink but take care not to over water. This succulent will not tolerate soggy soil.

Calathea ‘Freddie’ is known for its beautiful striped green foliage. Calatheas in the wild are found on tropical forest floors. Light and Water They can tolerate living in partial shade and make the perfect plant for filling in some of the shadier parts of your plant room! Too much direct sun burns the leaves and causes the beautiful leaf colors to fade. For best results, maintain a regular watering schedule and keep the soil damp, but never wet or saturated. This is not a drought tolerant indoor plant, however, the top of the soil should be allowed to dry out a little between waterings. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges. Overwatering will cause the plant to wilt and it will recover slowly. Like many tropical indoor plants, this plant prefers a spot with ample humidity. Brown edges on the leaves indicate the air is too dry. Mist the leaves twice per week with room temperature water.
Affectionally called the “Ponytail Palm” for its tall stalk and the wispy trailing leaves growing from its top or sometimes the “Elephant’s foot” for the way it branches once it reaches maturity. With multiple tufts of curling leaves, not only does this offer a talking point for its unusual looks, it's easy to care for! Suitable for home offices, desks, or any well-lit room that could use a low maintenance plant. A slow grower too, but over the years if kept well it can reach heights of 2m with multiple branches become a real statement piece! Part of what makes this plant interesting to look at is the bulb-like base that holds onto water (which means you don't need to water it very often). This Ponytail Palm does not need humid air, so copes well with central-ly heated rooms. Light and Water Place in a well-lit room with some access to direct sunlight. Water well, making sure the excess water drains away freely. These plants dislike overwatering, so let the compost get quite dry before repeating the process again.

The stunning Calathea Medallion is arguably one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful creations. Its large, “medallion”-like leaves appear to be painted with brushstrokes of deep green and fuchsia tones, flourishing out into a bouquet of unmistakable, colorful foliage. The array of green colour throughout each leaf is stunning, which is then topped off by the deep purple underside. Also known as 'prayer plants', watch its leaves open and close at dawn and dusk. Plus, it's a mighty air purifier so it'll clean up any nasties from your room too. Light and Water As these plants are native to the rainforest, they need indirect light, warmth and humidity to grow well. If you're lacking humidity, you can replicate it by misting your plant once every few days with a spray bottle. Because of this, Medallions are massive fans of being placed in a bathroom where humidity is present on a consistent basis. Otherwise we suggest misting them often when in other rooms. This is not a drought tolerant indoor plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges.
This elegant little indoor plant is native to South Africa, where it grows in soft clumps in steamy forests. With feathery light foliage it adds an attractive and elegant touch to any room indoors. Light and Water It’s accustomed to light levels ranging from partial shade to bright, indirect light. It thrives in dappled shade and can be acclimated to more light but keep it out of direct bright sunlight! Keeping an asparagus fern hydrated takes a little effort. This plant thrives on humidity. Indoor growing conditions can often be dry, especially due to winter heat. Mist the plant daily, focusing on the arching stems. If the plant appears to be turning brown and droopy, it likely needs more water. While the asparagus fern can dry out to the point of appearing dead, it likely isn't. Warmer, humid air and daily misting will help revive it. As it’s not keen on being touched very much, it’s a good plant for a shelf, where it won’t be bothered. Its beauty is best enjoyed from a comfortable distance.

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.

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.
