Let’s Talk Houseplants

  • Pet Safe
  • Low Light
  • Easy Care
  • Tall Plants
  • Rare Finds

Keep them safe.

There are a lot of plants to worry about when it comes to pets — dogs, cats, birds, even fish. Too many plants can harm your pet, so it’s best to choose the plantings that will work best for your animal-filled home. Thankfully, there are a lot of low- and no-risk houseplants that animals love just as much as we do.

Here are a few of our favorite pet-safe plants:

  • Pilea
  • Peperomia
  • Neanthe Bella Palm
  • African Violets
  • Birdsnest Fern
  • Calathea
  • Fittonia

Solutions for low light.

Have you struggled to find low light house plants because you think they will grow too slowly? You’re not alone. Most people seem to be afraid to buy plants that require only low light because they believe the plants will not grow fast enough to justify any space they take up. Thankfully, this isn’t true at all. There are plenty of options available for those that want plants that can do well without much light.

Try out these low light options:

  • Goldfish Plant
  • Fittonia
  • Sansevieria
  • Lipstick Plant
  • Gold Snake Plant
  • ZZ Plant
  • Pothos
  • Peace Lily
  • …and more!

Low maintenance favorites.

Every person needs to have “Easy houseplants”. These indoor plants are the easiest to take care of. They do not need much water or light, and yet they can grow quite big and beautiful. These are also some of the best plants for purifying air indoors.  Although the process is simple, remember that each plant variety has its own set of growing conditions and care instructions.

Here are a few of our favorite easy care plants:

  • Split Leaft Monstera
  • Neon Pothos
  • Sansevieria
  • English Ivy
  • Philodendron hederaceum
  • Syngonium

Love at new heights.

There is something elegant and almost magical about tall houseplants. Tall houseplants can add visual appeal, cozy up a room, and help to filter the air. Though there are plenty of benefits of tall houseplants, it’s important that you select the right plant for your space. Visit the greenhouse to pick your perfect match!

Add these plants to your space for height and beauty:

  • Ficus lyrata
  • Ficus Alii
  • Ficus elastica
  • Various Palm
  • Giant Bird of Paradise
Assorted Ficus

Treat yourself.

Rare house plants are always a special addition to your plant family. Some are popular because they are the easiest to grow and some because they are the most beautiful, but most can only be found only in special collections. Every gardener has their own specialties. While one might prefer to grow vegetables, another might gravitate towards exotic tropical plants. If you like to grow something rare and unusual, then the rare house plants collection is for you!

Grow your collection with a few of our favorites:

  • Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’
  • Philodendron ‘Jose Bueno’
  • Philodendron hastatum
  • Pothos ‘Cebu Blue’
  • Philodendron Goeldii
  • String of Hearts
  • Monstera siltepecana
  • Monstera sp. Peru

Tropicals

Houston has the perfect climate for tropical plants! The term “tropical plants” basically refers to all of the plant species that thrive within the Tropics on both sides of the equator.

Tropical plants are some of the most beautiful plants on the planet. The variances in color and texture make them not only visually appealing, but also fun to work with when creating new landscapes for your home. Many varieties make excellent houseplants.
