Finding your Perfect plant

Finding the perfect plants to complement the style of your home can be quite a challenge. Just like furniture and interiors, plants have specific aesthetics that may or may not flatter your space. Besides identifying the style of plant you’d like, you’ll also want to consider the care needs of each variety. Whether your space is traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, there is a plant out there that will perfectly suit your lifestyle!

Norfolk Pine, Curly Lipstick Plant, Brazil Philodendron, and Air Plants in a classic living room setting

Classic: Bold Textures for Traditional Interiors

  • Norfolk Pine — Soft, structural needles add a layer of texture to a room. Best in high humidity with bright indirect light in a light soil mixture.
  • Curly Lipstick Plant — Does well in a bright room away from direct windows. Curly, trailing foliage is perfect for a coffee table or plant hanger.
  • Brazil Philodendron — Dark and light green patterned leaves. Tolerates lower light — a good option for office settings.
  • Air Plants — Soil-free and very low maintenance. To water, give them a quick bath for a few minutes, shake dry, and return to their vessel.

The Study: For the Experienced Plant Parent

  • Maidenhair Fern — One of our favorites for delicate, graceful foliage, but the trickiest of all ferns. Requires high humidity and very consistent watering.
  • Bird’s Nest Fern — A more forgiving alternative for fern lovers with less time for maintenance.
  • Fiddle Leaf Ficus — Needs consistent watering. Moving them around can cause leaf drop, but once you understand their natural characteristics, you’ll get along just fine!
  • Hoya — The easiest of this group. Part of the succulent family, tolerates the most direct sunlight and has been known to produce sweet-smelling flowers.

Tabletop: Small Spaces, Big Personality

  • Baby Tears — Delicate trailing plants that are relatively easy to care for. Water the soil directly to protect the dainty foliage.
  • Phalaenopsis Orchids — Easier than their reputation suggests. Keep in their grower’s pot inside a decorative container so you can water and drain properly. Reblooming can take months to a year — patience is key.

The Collector: Statement Plants for Open Spaces

  • Swiss Cheese Monstera — A vining climber that’s tall and narrow — great for a bright corner. Grows quickly and cuttings can be shared with friends.
  • Ficus Ruby — With blush-toned trends in interiors, this plant is a perfect household accessory. Easy-going with basic maintenance needs.

Modern: Low-Maintenance for Any Light

  • ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas) — A favorite for self-described “black thumbs.” Tolerant of sporadic watering. Prefers to be rootbound — keep it in its grower’s pot until it’s bursting.
  • Sansevieria — Narrow enough for corners or grouped together. Very easy to care for and tolerates a wide range of conditions.
  • Bromeliads — Centers burst in pinks, reds, oranges, or yellows — a great pop of color in a modern room.
