This iconic houseplant has become a staple in many homes, and for good reason. It is an easy grower, and the fenestrated leaves with their unusual holes and slits are truly eye-catching! Juvenile plant foliage will be solid, and fenestrations will appear over time as the plant gets bigger and grows. There are a lot of common names for this plant, including Swiss Cheese Plant, Swiss Cheese Vine, Mexican Breadfruit, Split-Leaf Philodendron, and more. Please note that while this is NOT a Philodendron, the genera Monstera and Philodendron are indeed related.

Named after the Malay word for “tortoise” or the Indonesian word for “turtle” is a unique tropical plant known as ‘Kura Kura’ Labisia. This rare, eye catching specimen has elliptical-shaped, glossy leaves adorned with the patterns and textures of a turtle’s shell. Though an often slow grower, ‘Kura Kura’ will thrive in a warm, high-humidity environment, making it especially well-suited for life under glass.

Here is an unusual tropical plant, sure to ‘Uplift’ your spirits! ‘Uplift’ is an understory plant, native to the forests of South America. Each oval-shaped leaf is like a work of art, with mottling or marbling, in every shade of green–almost as if painted by an impressionist. Given the right conditions, new leaves and stems may occasionally exhibit some pinkish-red undertones. ‘Uplift’ needs bright, indirect light, but avoid placing it in direct sun. It detests cold drafts and wet feet. With consistent water and well-draining soil, ‘Uplift’ will grow on like a living masterpiece.

Ficus ‘Tineke’ is an iconic Rubber Plant, with sleek, ovate-shaped leaves that are beautifully variegated. Variegation is best described as splotches of light to dark green with creamy yellow margins. Leaves unfurl from pinkish sheaths, and have midribs that also display pinkish coloration. Dust the leaves of your ‘Tineke’ to keep them looking polished & pretty.

‘Samantha’ is another Ficus benjamina in our Cling-On collection, that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Samantha’ grows in an elegant multi-stemmed, bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold glossy, bright green leaves, edged in creamy variegation. In order to keep your ‘Samantha’ showing her most prominent variegation, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in a west- or south-facing window.

Introducing Cling-On®  ‘Mini Zen’, the space-saving counterpart to our classic African Fig. This compact version brings a touch of tranquility into any room, no matter how small, making it perfect for creating your own sanctuary. With glossy, dark green leaves that cling elegantly to its branches, ‘Mini Zen’ has earned its place in our Cling-On®  collection. Over time, as ‘Mini Zen’ grows, its branches develop textured, exfoliating bark like that of a birch tree–a nod to its nickname, the “Birchbark Fig”. Unlike other, more high maintenance ficuses, ‘Mini Zen’ is also more forgiving of average home conditions, making it an ideal choice for those seeking more peace in their plant care regimen.

Here’s a BOO-tiful Ficus elastica for your houseplant collection–Chroma® Ghost Rider™. This rubber plant has glossy, ovate-shaped leaves, splattered in varying shades of green and ghostly, creamy white. Leaf petioles are red to orange, and grow from green stems. Like other rubber plants, Ghost Rider™ grows in an upright habit. Unlike its nocturnal namesake, however, this rare cultivar thrives in the light of day, and will reveal its ghostly allure and the spectral beauty of its variegation most prominently when given bright light.
