The color may vary depending on the lighting, but this plant is always eye-catching and can grow in shallow pots or hanging baskets. You can even grow it on your terrace if you want. It requires very little watering and should be allowed to dry completely before watering; drought resistant, no water should be left in the saucer.

@phillyfoliage |
Asparagus fern is a delicate looking plant with leaves as light as butterfly wings, that will float in the air of your living room like gently bending and waving sails on thin and slender upright stems. It has an amazing lacy texture, is elegant, and grows quickly.
The feathery leaves may also form silk veils of rich emerald green on the sides of your pots. This is a plant that exudes refined, sophisticated taste, is unobtrusive in appearance, but always regales you with an intricacy of shapes and texture that will keep your guests gazing for hours!
Dieffenbachia (Dieffenbachia Oerstedii)
@katabernardo |
Dieffenbachia, with the waxiest, shiniest deep green elliptical leaves you can imagine, has become a very popular houseplant, possibly because its amazingly smooth texture makes it look like an artificial, plastic plant.
There is a light colored rib in the center of the leaf that draws your attention along the long and large leaves towards the point, followed by regular grooved veins that give it a slightly undulated shape as it grows in opposing pairs on green stems with an upright habit. The effect is lush and exotic, making it ideal for an office.
Dieffenbachia 'Camille'
@hydrofloramtl |
Dieffenbachia 'Camille' is an evergreen perennial cultivar with large, oval leaves that are dark green at the edges and white in the center. Older plants' leaves are almost entirely white in the center. This is also known as Dumb Cane 'Camille,' and it refers to the plant's poisoning effect, which can cause a temporary inability to speak if consumed.
Diffenbachias contain calcium oxalate, which is toxic to small rodents and should not be kept near children or pets. Prefer bright indirect light (partly shady spot), but can also do well in direct sunlight, though direct sunlight can cause foliage damage. Watering is required on a moderate/average basis; allow the soil to dry between waterings (about 1-2 inches from the top).
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Comosus)
@cascadeplants |
With its long and pointed leaves coming in tufts from a central rosette and draping off the margins of pots and containers, spider plant adds a touch of elegance to your living room. It also looks great on shelves and in hanging baskets.
The long, blade-like leaves have a light lime green center and cream margins, giving them a good architectural and sculptural presence. Water on a regular basis when the top inch of soil is slightly dry.
