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.

The Howea Forsteriana or more commonly known as the Kentia or Thatch Palm is a relatively slow growing palm eventually reaching up to 10m in height with 3m fronds. This size makes a perfect addition to any home offering longevity over the years before you need to think about repotting it. They are one of the best at re-moving air toxins such as formaldehyde, ammonia and carbon monoxide from the air, this makes it an ideal home and office plant. It is native to Lord Howe Island in Australia. Light and Water The plants are quite forgiving and tolerant of low light conditions but do prefer an area that receives indirect light indoors. Good locations are living rooms, bright corridors or offices near but not in front of windows as direct sunlight can be harsh on the plants. You can also choose to keep your plant outdoors during the warmer months in a somewhat shaded location. Kentia palm plants are fairly drought tolerant, although they do not like to be overly dry, or for that matter overly wet. Water only when the top inch or so (2.5 cm.) of soil starts to dry out. Mist indoor Kentia palm occasionally to provide some humidity and to remove any dust build-up. Palms, in general, require minimal pruning. Over pruning may cause irreversible damage to the trunk. You should, however, remove old leaf bases by gently pulling; do not force them off, which can cause permanent scarring or open up injury for trunk rot disease.

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.

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.

Donkey’s Tail, Sedum morganianum ‘Burrito’, is a fantastic succulent, bearing thick trailing stems covered with overlapping, plump, blue-green leaves. Star-shaped flowers in pink or red may appear at the tips of stems in summer. Too tender for our climate, it’s typically grown as a houseplant, although may be moved outside in summer, just make sure you bring it back in during the winter. It makes an interesting addition to hanging baskets. Light and Water Keep it in a bright room with good sun exposure, anywhere from bright indirect light to low shade. These plants are used to climates where the soil drains the water quickly and the water is infrequent. So, wa-ter when the soil has completely dried out and when you do make sure it drains completely as they do not like to sit in water. Start with watering every 10-14 days and adjust this schedule depending on how warm your home is.
