DRACAENA

This feisty guy starts off as a small houseplant and grows more tree-like when it gets older. It’s an easy indoor plant that typically only needs to be watered once a week, or when the soil is dry. The Dracaena plant is a great option for those looking to fill in empty corners and add life to any room. It can live in low-light, but prefers a place with medium-light. There are many varieties of the Dracaena plant to choose from, some even have contrasting colors and stripes!

Fiddle-leaf Fig

The Fiddle-leaf fig has become a very popular design choice with its dramatically large, lush leaves. This versatile plant can transform any room, be it modern, contemporary, or eclectic. This bold plant prefers bright open areas with some humidity. They do not like low-lit areas and will become noticeably sad. The leaves of the Fiddle-leaf can be sensitive to both over and under-watering, so it is best to water once to twice a week. When unsure whether to water or not, leaving the soil a little dry is better.

Corn Plant

The Corn Plant bears a resemblance to the sweet corn plant we’re all familiar with, but that partied too hard in the tropics! As part of the Dracaena family, this bright green, low-maintenance plant can thrive in low-lit areas, but grows larger and quicker when exposed to areas with more direct sunlight. Watering once to twice a week will do wonders for this plant and it tends to need more water in the warmer months. The Corn Plant will add a tropical ambiance to any room it lives in.

Snake Plant

This sword-like plant has a carefree attitude and grows well in low-light conditions. Like the Corn Plant, it can also grow faster when exposed to more light. This guy is hard to underwater, but once every week or two would not hurt. With its striking green and gold leaves, this plant makes for great decor in more modern, minimalist, or Scandinavian-style homes.

Monstera

This exotic-looking plant provides a tropical feel to any room it’s in. Monstera grows better and faster in areas with brighter light, but it can tolerate lower-lit places. Water regularly as to prevent the soil from becoming too dry. Place it in a room with some stark white and warm brown accents to create an Instagram-worthy look. In the right outdoor environment, Monstera can become truly monstrous- in a good way!

Pothos

The Pothos is a very versatile plant that can accent nearly any area of your home. Pothos can grow across, hanging, or up different objects leaving a lot of room for creativity and design. Pothos do not need a lot of maintenance and can grow well in low-light, although medium and high-light areas can make it grow bigger and faster. It can tolerate the occasional absence of watering and should be watered when the first few inches of soil are dry. The marbled leaves of the Pothos can add a nice splash of green to the surrounding decor. Try placing it on a window ledge, or flowing down a high bookcase for some instant charm.
