If you love the idea of owning plants that double as conversation pieces, these are the plants for you!
Goldfish Plant
With plenty of glossy, dark green leaves and vibrant flowers that resemble little goldfish, this houseplant is one of the best-kept secrets in the world of plants. They are easy to care for, drought-tolerant, and bloom all year when cared for properly! Cold water will damage the foliage of these houseplants, so be sure to use room temperature water to avoid shock. They need mild to moderate humidity, and thrive in a full sun location.
Bird’s Nest Anthurium
This isn’t your typical anthurium! Bird’s nest anthuriums differ from most in that they display large, wavy leaves rather than the typical leathery-looking ones we are used to. Keep this rare houseplant happy with moist soil and medium light conditions. Perfect for the home, apartment, office, or dormitory, this rare, unique-looking houseplant makes a great fall housewarming gift!
Lavender Scallops
Otherwise known as Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, lavender scallops are low-growing rare perennial succulents with gorgeous flowers. Its foliage shows off variegated, scalloped leaves in a lavender green color mix. In addition to growing up to 24 inches tall, stems can sprout roots and grow new plants when cut and dried for propagation. Use fast-draining soil that is porous for best results with this gorgeous plant, watering bi-weekly for optimal growth.
Devil’s Backbone
A mighty green succulent with tall stems, contrasting foliage, and vibrant flowers, this exotic plant proves to be an excellent choice in the indoor plant world. It enjoys a direct sunlight environment in the fall and winter, with some protection from the sun during the summer months. Growing this plant is easy as can be—just provide a potting mix that contains perlite for improved air circulation and a hole in the bottom of its pot for proper water drainage.
Staghorn Fern
Also known as Platycerium bifurcatum, these epic ferns love humidity and bright, but indirect sunlight. Water frequently, once every week during hotter times of the year to prevent leaves from drying out. They may grow slowly, but once they reach maturity, you’ll be rewarded with two types of dramatic decorative accent leaves on one houseplant! A staghorn fern is characterized by its brown fuzzy spores and long green leaves that tend to look like antlers.
Euphorbia Francoisii
With white, green, and purple variegated leaves, the Euphorbia francoisii succulent is a stellar addition to any home space. You’ll be rewarded with yellowy-pink flowers throughout the spring and summer months. This rare succulent does great by the windows as it needs a lot of sunlight when kept indoors. Pick south-facing windows, and pot it with sandy, slightly acidic soil.
Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’
With a name that cute, you have to add this rare philodendron variety to your houseplant collection. Perhaps you’re already a philodendron fanatic, or this will be your first one. Either way, you’ll fall in love with the pink princess simply for its gorgeous pink and green leafy foliage.
