Calla, also known as the Ethiopian Lily, is an exotic-looking plant with elegant horn-shaped flowers. This plant prefers indirect light and moderate temperatures, and to keep it healthy, make sure the soil stays slightly moist, but avoid stagnant water in the pot.

Spanish moss, also commonly known as Old Man’s Beard, is a tropical evergreen epiphytic perennial native to tropical America. Its latin name is Tillandsia usneoides. The name ‘Spanish Moss’ is a misnomer as this plant is neither Spanish nor a moss. It is a bromeliad, and the name has nothing to do with where it comes from. The beauty, non-toxicity and easy care of air plants are attracting more and more people to start their collections.
Since it likes relatively humid conditions, growing it in a light, bright bathroom or kitchen can be ideal – but Spanish moss can also thrive in other parts of your home as long as you make sure it gets the humidity and moisture it needs. When watering, ensure that water does not collect between the leaves, as this can cause them to rot. It is a good idea to tilt the plant slightly downwards or shake it gently after watering to avoid waterlogging.
The plant does not require a pot as it does not need soil. However, you can choose a pot for decorative purposes or for another plant.

Asparagus plumosa or asparagus fern is neither fern nor asparagus, although it looks similar and is closely related to the common edible garden asparagus. Its presence in the house brings a “forest” vibe and it really likes hanging in baskets on the terrace or balcony during the summer.
Indoors, the key to a robust asparagus fern is to keep the plant well-watered, bushy and dense so that the lace-like foliage forms an attractive mound.

We have to admit it: bushy or prickly, with round or lobed leaves, succulents are incredibly popular. In some homes, you can find impressive collections or creative arrangements. The range of colours and textures is a feast for the eyes.
Succulents are a real blessing when we travel a lot, are too busy or simply forget to water them. This is very important! The leaves, stems and roots of succulents are thick and fleshy, which allows them to store water and withstand harsher conditions with such stoicism. In short, loyal plants!
In warm weather, water more generously if you notice that the soil in the pot has dried out. In late autumn or winter, water less frequently, once a month. Overwatering and waterlogged soil are the most common causes of loss.
Fun fact: the only continent without native succulents is Antarctica.

English ivy (Hedera helix variegata) is one of the most common ivy species and the most widely grown. It is very easy to grow, both in pots and as an ornamental outdoor plant. You’ve probably noticed it on the outside of buildings and houses that look like entrances to a secret botanical world.
Potted ivy requires much less water. Before watering, check the consistency of the substrate, which should be loose but dry on the surface. Be careful not to overwater. For optimal lighting, position the plant near a window to ensure it receives abundant light without direct exposure. Poor lighting can reduce the number of leaves and cause them to discolour.
Indoors, it can be placed on a shelf or taller plant stand to allow it to create that eye-catching cascade of creamy white variegated green leaves. It tends to grow vigorously, providing quick results for those who want to transform their room or garden in a short space of time.

If you want to create a tropical holiday atmosphere in your home, you can’t beat the areca palm, with its elegantly arched leaves.
The Areca Palm, also known by its Latin name Dypsis Lutescens, is native to Madagascar. It is a fabulous houseplant, often grown for its dramatic tropical effect. It’s particularly good at making a visual impact wherever it’s placed. This makes it popular with plant lovers and interior designers.
With smooth, bamboo-like stems and full but narrow leaves, this green beauty needs plenty of room to spread out. We recommend placing it in a spacious area such as a reception, kitchen, hallway or living room. If you have plenty of light in your bedroom it would also work well there.

The Schefflera plant, Schefflera Arboricola, native to South Asia and parts of Australia, is often called the umbrella plant, and for good reason. The five to seven leaflets that make up each long-stalked leaf resemble umbrellas.
The foliage will keep its healthy, glossy appearance if you spray it daily with water at room temperature. Being a medium light lover, placing it in strong direct sunlight will burn its leaves. It will also not do well in areas of extreme light deficiency and is best placed near a window – even a north-facing one. Yellowing and drooping leaves are probably a sign that the plant is overheating. Leave the soil to dry out longer between waterings. Brown, dry leaves – may be caused by underwatering.
To control the height of the plant and increase its bushy appearance, cut back any overhanging branches in spring. Don’t cut more than 30% of the plant as this can cause shock. It is considered poisonous to humans and pets. The sap in the leaves can cause mild skin irritation.

Bonsai trees are a fascinating art form that combines Asian aesthetics and feng shui in the homes of those who choose to care for them.
Translated, ‘bonsai’ means ‘planted in a bowl’. Bonsai is a true philosophy of life, a hobby that brings peace of mind and helps us to cope with everyday stress. Caring for a single tree in a pot is a kind of small-scale gardening.
Pruning is also important to keep bonsai trees small and in perfect shape. Maintenance pruning strengthens the bonsai and encourages new branch growth.
