About these plants

Read up

Bring the jungle indoors with tropical houseplants. From the dramatic Monstera Deliciosa to patterned Calatheas, these plants add lush texture and colour to a room. Most of them prefer bright indirect light, consistent moisture and higher humidity than a heated home usually has, so a bright bathroom or a group of plants together can suit them well. Use the Light Finder to find the best spot in your home, and keep the Pest Guide handy: in dry indoor air, tropical plants are prone to spider mites and thrips. Several, including Calathea and Prayer Plant, are listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs.
