Lots of Varieties

Alocasia

Alocasia is the drama queen of the plant world in the best way. Big leaves, bold patterns, zero apologies. These guys love bright light, a steady watering routine, and a little extra humidity. Give them the right spot and they’ll reward you with leaves that look like they belong in a fantasy novel

Easy to take care of

Philodendron

Philodendron is the chill overachiever of houseplants. It grows fast, stays pretty, and doesn’t freak out if you forget a watering here or there. Trailing or upright, heart-shaped or glossy and dramatic, philodendrons are built to thrive in real-life homes, not greenhouse fantasies. If you want a plant that makes you look like you know what you’re doing, this is the one.

Aglaonema

Aglaonema is the “set it down and walk away” plant. Gorgeous colors, slow and steady growth, and a vibe that says effortless. It handles low light without complaining and doesn’t need constant attention. If you want beauty without babysitting, this is your plant.
