🦚 Available in 4” pot. This stunning beauty will not hesitate to take your breath away with her high contrast and extremely unique design. This plant goes by many names but the most common is the calathea makoyana. They are also known as the peacock plant or cathedral windows. This Brazil native likes to maintain a relatively compact growth pattern. As with all calatheas, this plant is non-toxic to both cats and dogs. As a member of the prayer plant group, their leaves fold up at night and release with the sunrise. The calathea makoyana tends to be more demanding than the average houseplant, so let’s get into it!
•
•
•
☀️: Prefers Medium to bright indirect light.
💦: Water when top 50% of soil dries out or when leaves start to curl.
☁️: Prefers humidity of 60% or more. Will survive in lower humidities but might start crisping up.
🌡: prefers 65-85°F.

Rhaphidophora Decursiva aka dragon tail 🐉

This stunningly sleek and minimal plant is native to India and Southeast Asia, including Southern China in the foothills of the Himalayas. This rare climbing plant will reward you with beautiful fenestrations as they mature and climb. This lovely being boasts shiny leaves full of parallel lines, attributing to their coveted sleek looks. No wonder it’s called the dragon tail! Luckily, this plant is so straight forward when it comes to care, so let’s get into it!
•
•
•
☀️: These plants do best in bright indirect light. If the lighting isn’t strong enough this plant may struggle with keeping up the fenestrations.
💦: Water when the first three inches or so have dried out.
☁️: Prefers average household humidity of 40-60%.

☘️She’s one of the most unique looking pothos for sure! Her stark white variegation contrasting with the green in the inside of the leaves makes for an eye catching foliage. Luckily this beauty is easy to maintain, so let’s get into it!
•
•
•
Care:
☀️: prefers bright indirect light in order to keep up the high white variegation.
💦 : I usually wait for pothos to dry out at least 75%, but the plant has been totally fine if I dry it out all the way, just don’t let it sit that way for too long. Also if the leaves start to go limp and become more flexible it’s time to water!
☁️ : prefers average household humidity.

Don’t let this stunning plant fool you with her beauty, she has been known to be a little more high maintenance than some of her other photosynthetic counterparts, so let’s get into it!
•
•
•
Care:
☀️: Medium to bright indirect light.
💦: Allow the soil to dry out halfway before watering again, or wait for leaves to start curling from both sides.

Is she basic? Maybe. But is she boring? Not a chance. I have always loved the aglaonema “leprechaun” for its clean and designer aesthetic that fits perfe ctly in any home. Her beautiful minty leaves make her so flattering for any backdrop. Luckily for the new plant parents, this plant is one of the best beginner houseplants. Aglaonema plants are well known for their stunning beauty and “unkillable” nature. So let’s get into the care!
•
•
•
☀️: Can tolerate low light conditions but prefer brighter indirect light for faster growth.
💦: Let this plant dry out completely or wait until leaves start curling.
☁️: Average household humidity is ideal.

Hoya AUSTRALIS 💫

I just couldn’t pass up this beauty at the greenhouse. This is the fullest pot of australis I have ever seen in my life 😱. She is a super easy and fast grower with attractive waxy and sturdy leaves. The Hoya australis is an excellent option for all beginner plant parents! This Hoya also produces beautiful white bloom clusters that smell of chocolate/vanilla. This rewarding plant gives much more than it gets, so let’s get into it!
•
•
•
☀️: Prefers bright indirect light. May benefit from brief periods of direct sunlight through a window.
💦: Prefers to dry out all the way or when leaves start to get a little wrinkly, whichever comes first.
☁️: Prefers average household humidities.

Lemon lime maranta 🍋💚

This rare variety of the maranta has been and always will be my favorite. My bias is inspired by the beautiful contrast between the bright veins and the dark, sometimes painted-looking backdrop. The stunning leaves on this plant never fail to amaze. Although she has the same needs as a calathea, she can often tolerate less-than-stellar conditions without much of a fuss. This gorgeous plant is a part of the prayer plant family, meaning she folds up her leaves at night and relaxes them back down with the sunrise. Native to Asia, Africa, and Brazil, this plant will surely make a statement in any home. The neon pop of color is enough to bring out a smile on even the worst of days. I could write an entire 4-page essay about how much I love this plant but I will stop myself here. So let’s get into the care!
•
•
•
☀️: Prefers medium indirect light.
💦: Water when the leaves start curling from both sides or when the soil is around 75% dry.
☁️: Prefers higher humidity and will produce brown tips if the air is too dry. Bathrooms and kitchens are best for this plant, or any room with a humidifier. Misting leaves may also increase humidity around the plant.

❣️ Let me formally introduce you to the gorgeous begonia maculata. Also known as the angel wing begonia, this plant produces brilliant white flowers but are most coveted for their unique and eye catching foliage. In person, the polka dots have a luminescent silvery sheen. The red backs of the leaves contrast beautifully with the greens and glittery silvers on top. The lovely maculata may seem intimidating, but are one of the easiest and most forgiving beginner plants.
•
•
Care:
☀️: Bright indirect light, brief periods of direct sunlight through a window may prove beneficial.
💦: Water when the top inch of soil goes dry.
☁️: Prefers higher humidities of 45% and up. Well lit kitchens and bathrooms are the perfect spot for these beauties.
