Plantsome Canada bol-collection-feed 4739113156690 Willie You might call Willie a vagrant or a vagabond. Perhaps you’d even throw around the word “homeless”, if you’re getting technical. Willie himself prefers the terms “nomad” and “wanderer”. He and his sister Sylvie may have different outlooks on life, he likes to keep his roots in the soil and she has her head in the clouds, but they’re both travellers at heart who are, like, totally ready to, like, find themselves. Meet your chill new roomie! To keep  your  Tradescantia Nanouk  looking and feeling good , water him moderately once a week, letting the top inch of soil dry between sips . Place  him  in bright, indirect sunlight for his daily dose of vitamin D. Despite his size, he's a showstopper with striking purple foliage, and is as easy to care for as he is stunning!  10 20 Average Light Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every year Once every month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/tradescantia-nanouk-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/TradescantieNanouk4inpot.png?v=1609956485 4668511551570 Abab If Abab was a person, he'd be an angry short seller who's always yelling profanities into his phone to whoever's on the other line (and just lost a million bucks because of him). We like plant Abab much better, with his glossy green leaves and distinctive fenestrations (a fancy word for holes). But if Abab got his way we’d ship him off to New York and put him in a corner office with a bunch of traders and brokers shouting “Sell, sell, sell!” and hurling insults that would make even some presidents blush. There’s now a rumour going around the Plantsome office that he once tried to sell cuttings of his bigger brother Alfredo. The fact that Eileen outed him is Abab’s deepest regret, that and not being planted before bitcoin was a thing. The Monkey Mask, a charming member of the Monstera plant family, flaunts its drooping, heart-shaped leaves - a true heartthrob in the plant world. These beauties can grow swiftly when pampered properly, proving that slow and steady doesn't always win the race. You might spot Adansonii's like this cheeky fellow flourishing in South and Central America and the West Indies, although he never quite clicked with his Monstera siblings. But here's the one thing they all agreed on – just like good gossip, indirect light is where it's at! Oh, and as for watering, this guy prefers a 'less is more' approach. So, while it's tempting to flood him with attention, remember that he's more of a 'sip, don't chug' kind of plant. Keep that soil moderately moist, and you'll stay on your Monkey Mask's good side!   10 22 Average Strong air purifying Shade Toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/monstera-adansonii-s-monkey-mask http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Monsteraadansonii4inpot.png?v=1626471600 4581872140370 Indy Reading about Indy is like double-checking the passenger list for Noah's Ark: his common nicknames are Rattlesnake Plant, Peacock Plant, and Zebra Plant. What they're all taking about are Indy's leaf markings, which, you guessed it, make him super distinctive. Cute and badass at the same time! An enviable combo. Chuck and Sophia older brother, Indy left the house early to become an archaeologist. He scoured the riverbanks along the Amazon river in search for long lost settlements with hidden treasures. He's told us many harrowing stories! Apparently, the patterns on his beautiful foliage can be read as scripture that holds the key to a sacred temple filled with gold and diamonds! We just can't crack the code.

Nowadays he teaches meditation in some A-frame cabin in the woods somewhere. With his hands folded and his legs curled, treating thoughts like clouds in the sky. Namaste! Meet the Maranta Leuconeura, also known as the Lemon Lime Prayer plant, your ticket to transforming your home into a serene tropical oasis. This graceful plant has a nocturnal ritual, gently folding its leaves as if participating in a moonlit meditation. As the sun comes up, it elegantly unfurls, embracing a daily yoga session. To maintain its harmonious balance, provide bright, indirect sunlight and ensure consistently moist soil. Remember to water when the top inch feels dry. Whether you're a novice or an experienced plant parent, the Lemon Lime Prayer is your partner in promoting tranquility and vibrant energy in your space ! 10 20 Regular Strong air purifier Bright, indirect light Not toxic Repot once every year Fertilize from spring through fall https://plantsome.ca/products/maranta-leuconeura-green-prayer-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/FOK03289pot.png?v=1609956300 4822047293522 Mimi Mimi used to be a palm reader. She stopped practicing a while back but she did ours anyway. Turns out we have a green thumb and lots of green palms! Get it? Jokes aside, Mimi's a keeper. With those striking bright pink tones, Mimi is a showstopper that's easy to adore. But there's more to her than meets the eye—besides her destiny-divining days, she's a pro at purifying the air. We see Mimi in your future! Tradescantia Sunny Star is a cute little plant with a unique pattern of variegated green and purple leaves. An easy plant friend to have around that is tolerant to a wide range of lighting conditions. Under the right conditions, it will produce bright white flowers that are tucked away inside of the plant's 'cradle'. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks, and don't forget to give her the occasional misting to keep her feeling fresh. We're having a bit of a hard time seeing stars, or the sun for that matter, but we probably just lack imagination! 10 25 Average Light Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every year Once every month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/tradescantia-sunny-star-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/TradescantiaSunnyStar4inpot.png?v=1609956487 4527641034834 Luke Meet Luke, the friend you can take anywhere! Luke is your ideal companion for any room, always up for a good time and low-maintenance to boot. With his slow growth and easygoing nature, he's the friend everyone wants. Luke has a slightly mischievous side and is mildly toxic, so keep an eye on your furry pals around him. Apart from his minor quirks, Luke is as laid-back as they come and adapts to most environments. Some have luck, some have Luke! Meet the ZZ plant, a stylish and resilient green companion that effortlessly blends fashion and personality into your space. When it comes to light, this charmer thrives in medium to low indirect light, making him a versatile choice for almost any room! Just remember, he prefers to steer clear of direct sunlight, as it's a bit too harsh for his taste. As for watering, the Zamioculcas is like a desert-dwelling maverick in disguise. Give him some room to breathe and let the top 2-3 inches of his soil dry out before you quench his thirst – he's all about sips, not soaks. Whether you're a newbie in the plant world or a seasoned enthusiast, the easy-going ZZ is the perfect fit for your indoor jungle. Other plants might envy his low-maintenance charm, but he's just too cool to mind! 15 40 Infrequent Low air purifier Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/zamioculcas-m-zz-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/newzamipot.png?v=1609956543 4828312895570 Olivia Olivia is that one friend we all have that will be on her flip flops wearing shorts the moment it hits ten degrees celsius. We don't blame her for it. It's in her Mediterranean blood! She adorns the sun and would like nothing else than to work on her tan on a beach towel drinking mimosas and reading a Sophie Kinsella. What a life Olivia! Did you come here for the olives or the Olive Tree? You see, Olea Europaea or Olive Trees obviously grow olives, but getting there requires a real green thumb and can not be achieved inside the home year round. That doesn't mean this baby Olive Tree won't look super cute in your living room of course! If you do want to have a go at growing your own olives, place the olive tree in your garden, balcony or patio in spring and summer so it can get full sun. These trees also need a night time drop in temperature to spur on the blooming. Fertilize bi-weekly in spring and monthly in winter when you move the tree back inside. Are you keeping notes? It's a lot for a handful of olives but don't say we didn't warn ya!   10 20 Regular Low air purifier Direct sunlight Not toxic Every year Bi-weekly (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/olea-olive-tree-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Olea_OliveTree_4in_wFreyaBlack.png?v=1737402838 4740540792914 Gino Meet Gino, who comes from the coffee-loving heart of Tanzania. With his lush, cascading emerald leaves, Gino's a true charmer and a cappuccino connoisseur. As part of the Coffea Arabica family, known for its world-famous coffee beans, Gino is here to make your space brew-tiful! Just like a perfectly brewed cup, Gino is easy to enjoy, requiring minimal effort to keep his charm alive. Caring for the Coffea Arabica is as enjoyable as savoring a well-brewed cup of coffee. To keep this charming plant thriving, provide him with bright, indirect sunlight, like you'd find in your favorite corner cafe. Aim for soil that's consistently moist but not waterlogged (hold the cream and sugar). This Coffee Plant isn't into cold brew, so keep your indoor temperature cozy between 65-75°F (18-24°C), and consider misting his leaves regularly to keep him comfortable! 10 24 Average Light air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every two years Once per month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/coffea-arabica-coffee-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Coffeplant4inpott.png?v=1647535733 4704825638994 Alfredo Alfredo is a Monstera Deliciosa which is commonly referred to as a Swiss Cheese Plant, Swiss Cheese Vine and Five holes plant. All these names gave Alfredo a bit of an identity crisis. To top it all off, botanists once lumped him in with the wrong family! Fortunately the record has been set straight and we know he's part of the Monstera family. It was all very stressful for Alfredo so we've agreed not to bring it up to him again. Can you help us keep that promise? Meet the Monstera Deliciosa! Hailing from Mexico, allow us to introduce a plant with more character than a telenovela. This guy is a born climber, so keep a close watch on those adventurous leaves. As he matures, his foliage will start rocking those iconic Swiss Cheese plant holes, turning your space into a living masterpiece. Now, when it comes to sunshine, the Monstera loves it but prefers a bit of shade – think of it as his siesta time. For hydration, give him a good sip, but let the top inch of soil dry out between drinks, usually every 1-2 weeks. Just remember to provide this amigo with a sturdy support; after all, he's the star of this melodrama! 15 37 Average Strong air purifying Shade Toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/monstera-deliciosa-m-swiss-cheese-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/MonsteraDeliciosa6inpot.png?v=1594413576 4618615586898 Penny We first met Penny in Vegas. It was 3am and we were working our way through a full stack of buttermilk pancakes at one of those 24 hour joints just off the strip. She was in one of the booths at the back of the room conducting a little off-license gambling operation - playing a shell game. She was so charming and smooth we fell for her immediately. As fast as you can say "flapjack" she had cleaned us out completely. That's OK, caveat emptor right? She is a money plant after all! The Pilea Pancake Plant is known for its distinctive, round leaves, resembling mini pancakes. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot - you'll want to allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth, and occasional fertilization during the growing season promotes healthy leaves. This plant is great for propagating as well, who doesn't love bonus plants!? 10 18 Frequent Low air purifying Bright spot, no direct sunlight Non-toxic Every two years Once a month https://plantsome.ca/products/pilea-peperomioides-pancake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Pancake4infrancotwotone.png?v=1618855100 4856811946066 Aurora Aura's chill sister, Aurora is the laid-back one. Sure, like all Epipremnum Aureum (that's her royalty name), Aurora digs being in the spotlight, but not if that means direct sunlight or paparazzi flashes. Kind of like the Pippa to Aura's Kate. You grow, girl! Aurora is the nerdy type who loves to read about what NASA is up to these days. In fact, she was even featured in a viral NASA article once, about air purifying plants! Like most nerds, Aurora too hates to leave the house, and would rather have her sunlight filtered through a window. Otherwise, if you give her a lot of light, Aurora will wither like a vampire in the sun, or that kid in school that one time his crush caught him doing the Spock Hand Sign (cue sad trombone sound effect). 10 14 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/pothos-jade-pearl-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PearlsandJadePothos4inpot.png?v=1609956285 4572493742162 Amalia Amalia used to work on Wall Street, but saw enough of it to conclude there's no fun in funds. Nowadays she's teaches meditation and spends days all by herself in the woods, with her hands to her heart, treating thoughts like clouds in the sky. Namaste! One thing Amalia taught us was to be open-minded and paying attention to change. Which is why, if you take her home and treat her well, she will surprise you with leaves of different colours, and veins that will also have different tones. Oh yeah, and don't forget the undersides; those too will be in different colours! Amalia is a Prayer Plant or Maranta Leuconeura if you're playing Scrabble. Cool fact: Prayer plants close their beautiful leaves at night. It makes them look as if they are praying! 10 20 Regular Strong air purifier Bright, indirect light Not toxic Repot once every year Fertilize from spring through fall https://plantsome.ca/products/maranta-leuconeura-prayer-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PrayerPlant4inpelle.png?v=1587574199 4771781967954 Zoe Zoe is fascinated with those little things in life that make us happy. She wakes up every morning to watch the sunrise, prefers to have breakfast in bed and starts her day with yoga. Zoe is a laid-back, cheery plant that brightens up everyone's day at the office. She is so positive that from time to time, we need to tell her to stop playing "All You Need is Love" on repeat. Zoe is a true dreamer, no doubt! As an optimist, the Peperomia Hope expects that you treat her well. But as a semi-succulent and realist, she understands that life happens sometimes, and you might occasionally forget about the whole watering thing (just don't make it a habit, okay?). This beauty can thrive in moderate to bright indirect light conditions and is non-toxic to pets, making her an ideal choice for new plant parents. Her Peperomia party trick? She's a fantastic air purifier. Seriously, what's not to love about her? 10 13 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-hope-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PeperomiaHope4inpot.png?v=1609956151 4591120810066 Olivia Olivia is that one friend we all have that will be on her flip flops wearing shorts the moment it hits ten degrees celsius.

Now, don't let the 'snake' part confuse you. Unlike his slithering namesake, Kaa's got his own style. Snakes can't stand tall, but Kaa? He's a plant with confidence. Snakes throw hissy fits, but Kaa? He's as cool as a cucumber. While snakes crawl, Kaa struts his stuff with elegance. No need to worry about in-laws here either; they might call him 'mother in law's tongue' because of his sharp leaves, but Kaa's more like the cool uncle of the plant world. The Sansevieria Laurentii is also known as the Snake Plant. Unlike real snakes causing chaos on planes, this plant is all about grounded tranquility. He's as easygoing as a Sunday morning, thriving in various light conditions, from bright, indirect rays to cozy low-light spots. Keep his cool by giving him a leisurely sip every 2-4 weeks; he's no fan of wet feet! The Snake Plant is a great air purifier (woohoo!), but be sure to keep an eye on Fido and Felix around this guy as he can be slightly poisonoussssss (cue snake sound...) 15 45 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once a year Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-laurentii-snake-plant-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/SansevieriaLaurentii6inpot.png?v=1609956402 4546439708754 Jack Meet Jack, the Ficus Burgundy. He's the epitome of modern chic in the plant world. Jack effortlessly elevates any room he graces, and we should know because we've got Jack in the office, and we're head over heels for him. Jack hails from the lush rainforests of South-East Asia, and he's quite the traveler. He recently regaled us with tales of backpacking adventures through Thailand, Malaysia, and India. And if that's not enough, last year he was spotted gallivanting around South America! Jack is sure to add some worldly sophistication to your space, just be prepared to hear the tales of his travels more than once (yeah... he’s that guy). Introducing the Ficus Robusta Burgundy, also known as a Rubber Tree. With his stunning tall leaves in a deep, burgundy hue, this guy is always #trending. To keep his style (and yours) in check, ensure he basks in bright, indirect light. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks, and consider giving your Rubber Tree a gentle misting every now and then to keep his leaves looking chic. Your space will be the talk of the town when you keep this guy around! 10 23 Average Strong air purifying Bright, indirect light Mildly Toxic Every 3 years Once a month (spring & summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/ficus-tineke-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Ficus4inchwebinpelle.png?v=1587574151 4524312002642 Pablo Pablo, oh Pablo. This variegated amigo hails all the way from Brazil where he's known far and wide for charming the stalks off all the lady plants (and a few gentlemen, too). He's easy going, pet friendly, and also a Gemini. Do with this what you will and happy planting! The Brazillian Pablo is a real lover of life. He is easily satisfied, a real minimalist we should say. This also makes him a perfect gift. With Pablo you can't really go wrong. His succulently thick and bright green colored leaves will spruce up your home like nothing else. In Brazil, the Peperomia plant is known to be gifted as a sign that 'everything will be alright'. What a great mantra to live by. 10 16 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-obtusfolia-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Newbabypepobtusfolia.png?v=1591214519 4919289315410 Alfredo Alfredo is a Monstera Deliciosa which is commonly referred to as a Swiss Cheese Plant, Swiss Cheese Vine and Five holes plant.

This pretty lady is called Poppy and she was born and raised on the beautiful Island of madagascar. She is at her best in a more humid climate so its best to keep her inside where its nice and warm. Play her some Kalinka and watch her grow! It's Poppy's spotty and colourful leaves that 'leave' many plant gazers starstruck. These little leaves are are a real showstopper but truth be told, Poppy is actually quite shy. And if you thought her spots are special have a look at the beautiful colour! underneath her leaves! **Polka dot leaf colour could be Pink, White, Red or Multi-colour depending on what's available.

Heidi was listed as an air purifying plant, and she absolutely let that go to her head. We can’t fault her for being confident though, right? With her eccentric charm and playful antics, she's sure to bring a daily dose of whimsy to your space. Don’t get hasty, get Heidi! Make room for your new Ficus Tineke! With her big variegated leaves, she thrives in bright, indirect light, which really brings out her vibrant personality... I mean, colours.

With a mix of colorful character and a touch of air-purifying prowess, this Rubber Tree radiates the perfect balance of attitude and elegance.Hey you!

The reason Peggy is so much in the spotlight may be obvious, her gorgeous strings of pearls. I mean just look at 'em! Draping down like a kind of green waterfall. A beautiful hanging plant to place in any modern interior. Peggy is very attached to her pearls, but she understand she has to let go of some of them occasionally. Do not be alarmed if some have come detached on arrival. She just creates new ones! A word of caution: Peggy is very possessive of her pearls. This beautiful necklace that she's wearing can become very long (60-90 cm!), so take this into account when choosing a spot. Furthermore, Peggy is a succulent from the drier parts of West Africa. She doesn't need a lot of water. She likes a bright spot but not in direct sunlight. Peggy's lovely locks may be a little short right now but with enough love and attention they will be Instagram-worthy in no time. We love you Peggy! 10 14 https://plantsome.ca/products/senecio-rowleyanus-string-of-pearls http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/4inchstringofpearlspot.png?v=1619048187 6605269139538 Clouseau You might call Clouseau a vagrant or a vagabond. Perhaps you’d even throw around the word “homeless”, if you’re getting technical. Clouseau himself prefers the terms “nomad” and “wanderer”. He and his sister Sylvie may have different outlooks on life, he likes to keep his roots in the soil and she has her head in the clouds, but they’re both travellers at heart who are, like, totally ready to, like, find themselves. Add a splash of vibrant color to your space with the Callisia Pink Panther! This eye-catching, easy-care plant thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for windowsills or well-lit indoor areas. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, and allow the top inch to dry out between waterings. This easy-going amigo may be small, but has no shortage of beauty! 10 17 Average Light Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every year Once every month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/tradescantia-pink-panther-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/TradescantiaPinkPanther4inpot.png?v=1621023975 4703744327762 Pink Pink always wants to go for drinks and party hard. Weekends or workdays, it don't matter much to her! And she doesn't discriminate either. You'll find her in underground dance clubs one day and an upscale jazz bar the next. She tends to bring an entourage of Calathea sisters everywhere she goes that is sure to draw a crowd. So if you're thinking of bringing her home, be prepared to meet her sisters too! The Calathea Ornata, as striking as its sister Calatheas, has a unique feature setting it apart: pink leaves! But don't be fooled, it is hard work getting it to put those big beautiful leaves out. Just like any rock star there is a list of demands: a bright spot, no direct sunlight, regular misting of the leaves, fertilizer in summer and a little bit of water at just the right time! Fortunately this plant is a great communicator and will furl up its leaves to let you know when if it's not getting enough moisture. 10 18 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-ornata-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaOrnata4inpot.png?v=1609955509 4733633331282 Isabella Isabella's official name is Calathea Orbifolia and if that doesn't ring a bell, she's the real deal! Besides the fact that she's a stunning beautiy to look at, Isabella is also known as the princess of purifying! Her big beautiful leaves have no problem converting CO2 into Oxygen. But wait, there's more! Isabella is a non-poisonous plant so she plays real nice with your furry friends and little kids. Another fun fact; because her leaves are pretty strong, locals in South America often use them as packaging material for their freshly caught fish. We promised Isabella we wouldn't do that to her though, can you help us keep that promise? The Calathea Orbifolia is well-loved for its big striking leaves, but that's not to say it doesn't take a bit of work to keep them like that. Place it in a spot with bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant foliage. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, by watering when the top inch of soil feels dry (and this diva prefers filtered water). Regular misting or using a pebble tray can help maintain the humidity levels this plant loves. Crispy, brown leaves are a sign of moisture issues or too much direct light, so be sure to spend some time getting to know your Calathea's signs of stress to keep this beauty thriving! 10 20 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-orbifolia-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/Calathea_Orbifolia_14_sierpot_7c327d02-e04a-4d47-a9d2-63e5f82cd2fb.png?v=1689291444 4862591696978 Mia Oh boy, is this a tough cookie. The Epipremnum Aureum is a hanging plant that LOVES those high, hard-to-reach, arm-stretching, ladder-falling-while-watering areas in the house. Since the name Epipremnum Aureum reminded us of the spelling bee we failed, we decided to call her Mia. Legend has it that she used to spend her time flying shotgun in her sister's Lockheed Vega, but they are both retired. Now she just hangs around the Plantsome HQ, and whatever happened in Vega stayed in Vega. The Epipremnum, or Pothos Marble Queen, is beloved for its rapid growth and lush vines. This plant is an excellent air purifier and thrives in various indoor environments. Just try to avoid direct sunlight exposure and keep the soil evenly moist.

Wait until you see Wendy. She first became famous in her native South Africa where she went viral with TikTok moves no one could copy. Wendy really puts the 'sun' in Sunday with her love of sunshine and light. She's low maintenance while still being the star of the show on your south-facing window sill. Such a bright gal!   Wendy is real popular in South Africa where she grows in abundance. Wendy is a hardcore succulent, which means she has a badass superpower: she. is. TOUGH. Forgot to water her for a few weeks? Wendy shrugs it off like its no big deal. Accidentally put her in the fridge? No biggie. Left her at the tanning salon? She can handle it. Wendy is a roommate that will never ask you to turn the music down or warn you that you're eating too many carbs. Easy like a Sunday morning! 10 13 Little Light air purifying Direct sunlight Slightly poisonous Once a year Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/crassula-jade-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Jade4inpelle.png?v=1609955936 4955074330706 Luke Meet Luke, the friend you can take anywhere! Luke is your ideal companion for any room, always up for a good time and low-maintenance to boot. With his slow growth and easygoing nature, he's the friend everyone wants. Luke has a slightly mischievous side and is mildly toxic, so keep an eye on your furry pals around him. Apart from his minor quirks, Luke is as laid-back as they come and adapts to most environments. Some have luck, some have Luke! Meet the ZZ plant, a stylish and resilient green companion that effortlessly blends fashion and personality into your space. When it comes to light, this charmer thrives in medium to low indirect light, making him a versatile choice for almost any room! Just remember, he prefers to steer clear of direct sunlight, as it's a bit too harsh for his taste. As for watering, the Zamioculcas is like a desert-dwelling maverick in disguise. Give him some room to breathe and let the top 2-3 inches of his soil dry out before you quench his thirst – he's all about sips, not soaks. Whether you're a newbie in the plant world or a seasoned enthusiast, the easy-going ZZ is the perfect fit for your indoor jungle. Other plants might envy his low-maintenance charm, but he's just too cool to mind! 10 22 Infrequent Low air purifier Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/zamioculcas-s-zz-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Zamioculcas_Zamiifolia_4in_pot.png?v=1613001187 6660553048146 Adriana When she’s not strutting down the runway in her angel wings, this Brazilian Begonia can be found with a gin soda in hand, relaxing seaside in the Riviera. A style icon through and through, Adriana’s teeny polka dot bikini inspired a generation, and perhaps even a song lyric… you know the one. Though she may not remember your name, or even look up from whichever magazine she’s flipping through, it’s hard not to swoon over Adriana’s elegant glamour and effortlessly beachy waves. She is particular about humidity and being in the (indirect) spotlight, but as long as you keep Adriana’s demands met, she’ll be a model citizen. It’s really no surprise that Adriana loves to be adored. The Begonia Maculata is just one of 2000 different variations in the Begonia species. Could you imagine having that many siblings? What would family dinners be like? Sometimes referred to as a Polka Dot or Angel Wing Begonia, this tropical gal comes with a short list of non-negotiables. Keep her soil moist, her surrounding space humid, prune her leaves twice a year, and be sure to position her in a locale with bright, indirect sunlight. Otherwise, she can get a bit fussy and you’ll need to call her agent. All in all, give Adriana the attention she seeks and this Maculata will look immaculata on or off the catwalk. 10 23 Moderate Low air purifier Shade or partial shade Toxic Once every two years Once every three weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/begonia-maculata-polka-dot-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BegoniaMaculata4inpot.png?v=1626389597 4566757474386 Sophia Just like her sisters, Sophia is a part of the Calathea Family and originates from Brazil. To be precise, Sophia is a Medallion. Her massive leaves makes her massively good at cleaning the air. Sophia is kind to pets and small children and loves long walks in the sun. With some sun and some shade she's at her best. What's truly remarkable about her is the closing of her leaves at sundown and the opening at sunrise. She welcomes the world with open leaves every day. What a great example for all of us just-one-more-minute snoozers. The Calathea Medallion thrives in indirect sunlight and humid conditions. Keep its soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering when the top inch of soil is dry and letting any excess water drain out. Avoid direct sunlight with this amigo to prevent leaf damage. Calatheas take in a lot of moisture through their leaves, so regular misting or placing a humidity tray nearby will keep this beauty happy! 15 35 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-medallion-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaMedallion6inpot.png?v=1609955496 4658681872466 Lilly Lilly has an exotic figure. When she works out she purifies the air for you so it's a win for Lilly and a win for you. Her air purifying qualities come mostly from the size of her leaves. She loves to produce oxygen with it but they also work to extract harmful substances from the air. In return for all this magic she does require some love and attention. You can have years of fun with Lilly just be sure to give her enough water and sunlight. Lilly's roots are in South America, but she will do just fine in any Canadian household. She is a beautiful Spathiphyllum, and more commonly referred to as the Peace Lily. We think it is because of her beautiful and peaceful white flowers. Or maybe it's cause she was the most well-behaved character in that series, Sex and The Lily. 10 45 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every three years In summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peace-lily-spathiphyllum-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/peacelily4inpot.png?v=1609956111 4702640832594 Marty Marty is Palm from Central America. To really shine in your room Marty will require plenty of bright indirect light. In return, you'll be awarded with air so super fresh, ahhhh just a a joy to come home to! Marty's hobby really is cleaning the air and its dirty work so Marty will require some love and attention from you to keep doing what Marty does best! Introducing the Areca Palm, a native of Central America flaunting its stylish long fronds. It's no surprise this fella reigns supreme among the palms! Think of him as the Elvis Presley, the undisputed king of the palm world. To keep your Areca feeling like a king, place it in a sunny spot with some cool, filtered sunlight, and maintain that perfect balance in its soil – consistently moist but never waterlogged. Take care of your Areca, and your Areca will take care of you. We can't help falling in love with this one! 10 28 Frequent Strong air purifying Light and bright Non-toxic Once every three years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/areca-palm-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/ArecaPalm4inpot.png?v=1609955283 4564795785298 Vera Vera is that fit, healthy #spinningclassat6AM friend we all have. You know, the one that's on a KETO diet and looks at you funny when you order a creamy donut as a side to your eggs benny. While we go about living our best life, Vera is living her fittest life and we have to admit, she's looking pretty darn good. All those workouts have given her a little bit of a prickly character but thats ok. Nothing that a chocolate bar can't fix. Oh wait...We didn't mean that Vera... Vera? Vera! The Aloe Vera plant is actually a member of the succulent family, which means she doesn't need much water! Succulents store water in their stems, roots or leaves. Saving it for a not-so-rainy-day, shall we say? We think it's a pretty neat trick since all we have is that pesky water bottle we keep forgetting. But there's more to this plant than just survival skills; she's an air-purifying powerhouse, ensuring your space stays fresh. Even legends like Cleopatra and Alexander the Great were wise to her charms. Plus, she's incredibly low-maintenance, so you can relax even if you occasionally forget to water her. Just remember to place her in bright, indirect sunlight, let her soil dry out between waterings, and avoid exposing her to extreme cold. Keep it chill, and this Aloe will keep your space looking and feeling fresh.Hey you! You may have noticed that this plant was once classified as an air purifier. While all plants do purify your air to an extent, it's significantly less than this green amigo would like to take credit for! Wanna learn more?

To look the way he does, Leandro spends hours at the gym every single day. We are kind of obssessed to be honest. Those incredible glossy, strong, manicured leaves resemble the looks of an Olympian God. He's just impeccably handsome! Gosh! Leandro has beautiful dark and pale green leaves that make him spectacular. This Peacock plant is used to the exotic, tropical weather of Rio de Janeiro, so he expects that you place him somewhere with constant high humidity. Placing a bowl with water near Leandro is nice. Also, let those muscles grow by making sure that Leandro enjoys low to moderate sunlight and a well-moist soil.  Obrigado! 10 18 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-makoyana-peacock-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaMakoyana4inpot.png?v=1609955488 4569904218194 Vern Everyone has a neighbour that is always there when you need them. That's Vern. Need a cup of sugar? Ask Vern. Need a 3/8 Drive 7/16 inch 6-point SAE Deep Socket for that car repair? Ask Vern. Vern is always there to lend a hand. Vern is a Zebra Howorthia or Zebra Cactus. As an air purifier he's one of the best, his sap can be used to sooth burns and minor skin irritation. And he does it all with an 'Awe shucks' attitude that we love! Everyone needs a Vern! *Note: Haworthia come in assorted varieties and may be slightly different from the pictured plant Haworthia is a close relative to Vera, Aloe vera, that is. These succulents are easy to please. They are accustomed to dry, sunny environments so keep them in a bright south facing spot with lots of sunlight. Water only when the soil is dry to the touch. As air purifiers they are top notch especially for removing formaldehyde from the air. 10 14 Little Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Not toxic Every two years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/haworthia-zebra-cactus http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/haworthia4inpelle.png?v=1587574173 4642722545746 Simone Simone's unparalleled beauty is from another world. Her confidence to rock those palm-like, elegant leaves make us think we're living in Victorian times! But please don't tell her that we feel like royalty in her presence. One time we mentioned it to her at the office, and she didn't stop talking with that British accent she most definitely can't pull off [no Simone, we don't 'fancy a cuppa', thanks!]. Originally from Southeastern Mexico, meet the Cat Palm (or Chamaedorea Cataractarum) that can make any room feel like a beach vacay. She's got that certain *je ne sais quoi* that'll elevate your space to a million-buck paradise. To keep this amiga thriving, let her soak up some rays in bright, indirect sunlight, and be sure to quench her thirst before her soil gets dry. With a little TLC, the Cat Palm can grow up to 6 feet tall – talk about making an entrance! No need to pack a bag, this tropical beauty is bringing the beach party right to you.     25 100 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright, indirect light Non-toxic Every 3 years Once a month during spring & summer https://plantsome.ca/products/cat-palm-chamaedorea-cataractarum-xl http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Catpalm3gnewpot.png?v=1609955544 4586567401554 Rio Looking for an air purifying pro? The Phlebodium is a great choice. Rio is a thirsty fella so be sure to give him plenty of water but no direct sunlight. Native to the subtropical regions of South America, Rio is often situated underneath the canopies of large trees. His pretty green fronds can last up to two years each! Rio isn't big on haircuts or slick looks, oh no, his fronds are all over the place! You may think Rio doesn't really know what to do with all those leaves but he just really likes the out of bed look. One leave is elongated and another will have six branches. It's fascinating how Rio manages to distract us with all of this randomness but we love it. Speaking of random: Phlebodium Aureum is Rio's official name so there's that useless fact, but he's more commonly referred to as a Blue Star Fern. The fronds of this beautiful fern friend are fast growing and will require regular watering. Keep the soil moist at all times and Rio will thank you! 10 30 Regular Strong air purifier Low light Not toxic Once every two years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/phlebodium-aureum-blue-star-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Phlebodium4INfranco.png?v=1587753076 4747394351186 Amy Amy decided to give up the glam life of being a celebrity publicist after 'finding herself' during a meditation retreat in Northern California. She's really turned a new leaf (heh) and is now all about that organic, non-gmo, gluten free, vegan life these days, and we're here for it. At night, you'll find her staring at the sky, spiritually, as she closes her leaves to appreciate yet another day. Ahhhh... Namaste! Were you praying for more Prayer Plants? We got you fam! This gorgeous Green Prayer Plant, also known as Maranta Kerchoveana, is native to Brazil. She features a light green foliage with dark green patches on the front and a silvery green tone on the undersides—hello fifty shades of green! Coming from the rainforest, make sure to water and mist your Green Prayer regularly. As to her preferences for lighting: bright, indirect sun is best but she can tolerate a bit of shade every once in a while. 10 23 Regular Strong air purifier Bright, indirect light Not toxic Repot once every year Fertilize from spring through fall https://plantsome.ca/products/maranta-kerchoveana-green-prayer-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Maranta_Kerchoveana_p12_teelt_1024x1024_e36c2ff5-e12e-4758-b154-09518acbbc73.png?v=1609956298 4581877842002 Indy Reading about Indy is like double-checking the passenger list for Noah's Ark: his common nicknames are Rattlesnake Plant, Peacock Plant, and Zebra Plant. What they're all taking about are Indy's leaf markings, which, you guessed it, make him super distinctive. Cute and badass at the same time! An enviable combo. Chuck and Sophia's older brother, Indy, left the house early to become an archaeologist. He scoured the riverbanks along the Amazon river in search for long lost settlements with hidden treasures. He's told us many harrowing stories! Apparently, the patterns on his beautiful foliage can be read as scripture that holds the key to a sacred temple filled with gold and diamonds! We just can't crack the code. Can you? 15 34 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-lancifolia-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaLancifolia6inpot.png?v=1624040712 4727632822354 Momo We're in love with Momo over here. His beautiful pointy leaves standing firmly upright, his dark green coloured foliage alternating with bright pink tones, beautiful! Yep, easy to see why this easy going green amigo is a popular choice! Momo's not only got the looks, he's not affraid of a work out either. His leaves are great at purifying the air which he does all day, every day. Momo, you're a great house mate! Tradescantia Spathacea or Moses in a Boat is a cute little plant with a unique pattern of variegated green and purple leaves. An easy plant friend to have around that is tolerant to a wide range of lighting conditions. Under the right conditions, it will produce bright white flowers that are tucked away inside of the plant's 'cradle'. We're having a bit of a hard time seeing Moses, or the cradle for that matter, but we probably just lack imagination!  10 19 Average Light Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every year Once every month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/tradescantia-spathacea-moses-in-a-boat http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Mosesinaboat4inpot.png?v=1609956029 4524294078546 Aura Jr. There's a dark air to Aura. Contrary to other species in her family (Epipremnum Aureum), Aura does not blossom due to a genetic bug no Ctrl+Alt+Del could solve. She is also considered a plague due to being nearly impossible to kill and staying green even when kept out of the light. Pretty much the lovechild of the Grinch with Bruce Willis in that Christmas movie. No wonder people also call her the Devil's Ivy. The dark side of the bloom (not to be confused with that Pink Floyd record your weird uncle told you about) never looked greener. And unlike your stoner uncle or the Gilmour-Troubled Waters relationship, this Neon Pothos has aged well: it's been around at least since 1880, which officially makes it older than knock-knock jokes. If you're looking for a pet that outlasts you, look no further: this Neon Pothos is what songs like "I will survive" are all about. It's blasé like Beyoncé. For care, provide bright, indirect light and water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. Or don’t. She’s not your boss. 10 22 Moderate Not a strong air purifier Low light Once every two years Monthly in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/neon-pothos-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BabyPothospot.png?v=1609956045 6862447345746 Cranerys We hear ya: Strelitzia sounds like people dressed as scientists for toothpaste ads. If so, you might dig this plant’s name in regular parlance: Bird of Paradise, or Crane Flower. Now, that’s a damn good superhero name! The nicknames come from two pretty neat design features: the plant looks like a birds head when it’s blossoming, and the flowers resemble feathers on a crane’s head (the bird, not the machine). Aside from its noble roots (ha), the Strelitzia is actually pretty down to earth (somebody’s on a streak today!) and easy to please. She is not fussy about her watering needs, as long as you don't overdo it. Just like climate change, though, sunburn is a real thing: if you leave your Strelitzia exposed to direct sunlight, it will suffer more than that time you tried a DIY wax job during the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Instead, use indirect light, all year-round, and avoid temperatures below 10°C. Oh and a final, friendly advice: this plant is considered mildly toxic for cats, dogs and people. So, if your household has pets, children, adults on a plant-based diet or all of the above...you might want to get rid of them first! 10 25 Frequent Moderately air purifying Bright spot near a window Slightly toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/strelitzia-nicolai-bird-of-paradise-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Bird-of-Paradise-4in_azulablack.png?v=1649893424 4740716396626 Amelia Oh boy, is this a tough cookie. The Epipremnum Aureum is a hanging plant that LOVES those high, hard-to-reach, arm-stretching, ladder-falling-while-watering areas in the house. Since the name Epipremnum Aureum reminded us of the spelling bee we failed, we decided to call her Amelia. Legend has it that she used to spend her time flying the skies in her Lockheed Vega, but she's retired. Now she just hangs around the Plantsome HQ, and whatever happened in Vega stayed in Vega. The Pothos Gold, also known as Epipremnum Aureum, is widely known and loved! Her leaves grow faster than a jet plane, turning your place into a leafy wonderland before you can even find your passport. But that's not her only trick: she's a pro at air detox, making her your home's in-house clean freak. When it comes to choosing her spot, she's as laid-back as they come. She just doesn't like to fly too close to the sun, so be sure to keep her out of the direct light, and give her a drink every 1-2 weeks to refuel. Stay gold, Pothos! 10 16 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/epipremnum-aureum-pothos-gold-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PothosGold4inpot.png?v=1609956262 4732736864338 Isabella Isabella's official name is Calathea Orbifolia and if that doesn't ring a bell, she's the real deal! Besides the fact that she's a stunning beautiy to look at, Isabella is also known as the princess of purifying! Her big beautiful leaves have no problem converting CO2 into Oxygen. But wait, there's more! Isabella is a non-poisonous plant so she plays real nice with your furry friends and little kids. Another fun fact; because her leaves are pretty strong, locals in South America often use them as packaging material for their freshly caught fish. We promised Isabella we wouldn't do that to her though, can you help us keep that promise? The Calathea Orbifolia is well-loved for its big striking leaves, but that's not to say it doesn't take a bit of work to keep them like that. Place it in a spot with bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant foliage. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, by watering when the top inch of soil feels dry (and this diva prefers filtered water). Regular misting or using a pebble tray can help maintain the humidity levels this plant loves. Crispy, brown leaves are a sign of moisture issues or too much direct light, so be sure to spend some time getting to know your Calathea's signs of stress to keep this beauty thriving! 15 32 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-orbifolia-m-1 http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Calatheaorbifolia6inpot2_bc122efc-f562-4cba-b234-73bf9c6f8202.png?v=1622753962 7132562980946 Felicity Monstera Thai Constellation isn't just a pretty face. This diva can hold her own when it comes to survival skills. She's a tough cookie that can handle a range of light conditions, from low to bright light, and won't complain if you forget to water her for a few days (although we don't recommend making that a habit). If you're ready to add a touch of whimsy and wonder to your plant collection, the Monstera Thai Constellation is the perfect addition. Just be prepared for a little jealousy from your other plants - this star is sure to steal the show! Behold! The Variegated Thai Constellation Monstera Deliciosa, or the GOAT, the MVP, the unicorn of the plant world. Are we exaggerating? We think not.

The Musa requires a lot of sun and water, but it's worth it since this plant is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S....   15 Between 40-50 A lot of water Light air purifying Bright direct light Non-toxic Once every two years Every other week (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/small-musa-dwarf-cavendish-banana-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Musa_dwarf_web_in_jimmy.png?v=1626363485 6571762647122 Donatello Donatello hides some serious ninja skills under that canopy of his. At night, he'll keep the rest of your green amigo's from wandering out in the dark, hanging with the wrong crowd. Watching over the others gets kinda tiring though, so be nice to him and don't stress him out by over-watering. He's got a magic super power which is storing water in his leaves. Save it for a not-so-rainy day, you know! The string of Turtles is a trailing plant with a variegated pattern that makes it look like little turtles are jumping out of its pot. They tolerate lower light conditions but for the best looking turtles, go with bright indirect light. Don't overdo it with the water though, you might think Donatello's little turtle friends love the water but these are actually the semi-succulent type, which means the plant stores water in its leaves. Water only when the top two inches have dried out. Turtle turtle go! 10 16 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-prostrata-string-of-turtles-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/StringofTurtles4inpot.png?v=1618028646 4566325395538 Vicky When all of your brothers and sisters are big and burly, you have to do something to stand out. Vicky's got attitude in spades. This girl will want you to give her the primo spot at the window sill and won't settle for anything less. She relegates cacti and succulents to kitchens and side tables and is not impressed by the big monstera in the corner. This parlour palm is here to stay and she wants all your other green amigos to know it, too! Meet the Parlour Palm, or Neanthebella, the pint-sized tropical sensation that'll fit right into your home, no matter the size. Hailing from the lush landscapes of Mexico and Guatemala, this little green superstar has been stealing hearts around the globe since the Victorian era – talk about timeless charm! The Parlour Palm adds a touch of the tropics to any space. She's a low-maintenance queen, thriving in cozy corners with bright, indirect sunlight. Just remember to keep her soil slightly moist but not soggy – she's got a thing for balance. So, whether you're a seasoned plant parent or a newbie, let this beauty bring the tropical vibes to your indoor jungle! 15 40 Regular Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Pet friendly Once every year Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/neanthebella-parlour-palm-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/NeanthebellaPalmwebcocorevised.png?v=1609956105 4949739176018 Bucky Movie viper Gordon Gekko once said that greed is good. We, on the other hand, like to think that green is good. If you're not one to frown on making a little dough, though, Bucky's a keeper. For real! The Chinese say this fella (Pachira Aquatica) brings luck and guards treasures better than any safe. Bucky will also keep the air around you cleaner than a tax audit. So, consider Bucky an investment. Although not swimming in money like Uncle Scrooge, Bucky is quite the bon vivant in the botanical jet set. In South America, where the Pachira Aquatica comes from, Bucky thrives in riverbanks (and judging by its popular name, Money Tree, maybe in regular banks too?) and can even turn into a fancy tree, 30 meters high and all. His flowers can replace cocoa, but you'd better stick to the chocolate: the Pachira juice, like certain bonds, is moderately toxic. 10 30 Infrequent Moderately air purifying Bright spot - no direct sunlight Non-Toxic Smaller ones - every year Once a month during summer https://plantsome.ca/products/pachira-aquatica-money-tree-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/MoneyTree4inpot.png?v=1612468653 4421709594706 Lilly Lilly has an exotic figure. When she works out she purifies the air for you so it's a win for Lilly and a win for you. Her air purifying qualities come mostly from the size of her leaves. She loves to produce oxygen with it but they also work to extract harmful substances from the air. In return for all this magic she does require some love and attention. You can have years of fun with Lilly just be sure to give her enough water and sunlight. Lilly's roots are in South America, but she will do just fine in any Canadian household. She is a beautiful Spathiphyllum, and more commonly referred to as the Peace Lily. We think it is because of her beautiful and peaceful white flowers. Or maybe it's cause she was the most well-behaved character in that series, Sex and The LilyLilly's roots are in South America, but she will do just fine in any Canadian household.

If that's too technical: Gus is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Gus and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Gus, such a low maintenance guy. Gus also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Gus does not need any plant food. Gosh Gus, what's not to like here? The Sansevieria Laurentii is also known as the snake plant. To be honest, we don't get it. Snakes can't stand up, while Gus can. Snakes throw hissy fits, and Gus is as chill as a cucumber. Snakes crawl, and Gus doesn't crawl. Snakes always show up on planes, and Gus hates planes. All slithering aside, the snake plant is also called a 'mother in law's tongue' because of how sharp the tips of their leaves are. Get it? Get it?! Anyway, this African plant is truly one of the easiest to maintain, which makes Gus really popular. us purifies your air but be careful with Fifi and Felix (pets)... this snake has some poisonoussss juiccccce! 15 45 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-zeylanica-snake-plant-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Zeylanica6inellis.png?v=1587574278 4589600243794 Beau Ponytail palm's are actually not part of the palm family. It's why Beau has always felt a little out of place. When everyone looks right, Beau looks left if you know what I mean. The Beaucarnea Recurvata or Elephant's Foot is actually part of the succulent family. You see, Beau is blessed with the unique ability to store access water in his stem for later use. Nice! Introducing the Ponytail Palm, the conversation starter of your plant collection. This quirky plant, native to Mexico, might have you wondering if he needs a haircut, but those cascading fronds are all part of his *vibe* (since he decided his manbun was so 2019). Fun fact: despite the name, he's not a true palm at all! The Ponytail Palm is more like a botanical hipster, sporting a unique look that stands out in any crowd. As for care, he's on more of an independent journey. Place your Ponytail Palm in a sunny spot, and water sparingly – he's a drought-tolerant gem. If you're looking to add a dash of botanical curiosity to your space, the Ponytail Palm is your chill companion on this wild plant journey! 10 25 Moderate Strong air purifier Bright and sunny Not toxic Once every year Once every month https://plantsome.ca/products/ponytail-palm-beaucarnea-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PonytailPalm4inpot.png?v=1609956253 4695630020690 Kaa Alright, folks, gather 'round to meet Kaa the snake plant! Now, don't let the 'snake' part confuse you. Unlike his slithering namesake, Kaa's got his own style. Snakes can't stand tall, but Kaa? He's a plant with confidence. Snakes throw hissy fits, but Kaa? He's as cool as a cucumber. While snakes crawl, Kaa struts his stuff with elegance. No need to worry about in-laws here either; they might call him 'mother in law's tongue' because of his sharp leaves, but Kaa's more like the cool uncle of the plant world. The Sansevieria Laurentii is also known as the Snake Plant. Unlike real snakes causing chaos on planes, this plant is all about grounded tranquility. He's as easygoing as a Sunday morning, thriving in various light conditions, from bright, indirect rays to cozy low-light spots. Keep his cool by giving him a leisurely sip every 2-4 weeks; he's no fan of wet feet! The Snake Plant is a great air purifier (woohoo!), but be sure to keep an eye on Fido and Felix around this guy as he can be slightly poisonoussssss (cue snake sound...) 10 21 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-laurentii-snake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/SansevieriaLaurentii4inpot.png?v=1609956400 4668489498706 Kate Sigh! Remember back in grade 5, you were sitting in the back of the class and there was that girl in the second row, the one with two giant braids, mischievous eyes and rosy cheeks? You would sit there and dream about her all day long thinking you were going to get married and have kids and a dog and a house in the burbs... Well that girl is Kate and today she runs an ink shop down on the Drive. She is married to Lori and was elected to the Parks Board last year. We love Kate because she defies convention and makes sh*t happen. Go Kate! The Philodendron Hederaceum is the irresistible sweetheart that dots her ‘i’s with little hearts in purple ink. She’s an easy going gal – she can hang around or climb to new heights, whatever suits your fancy. Hailing from the jungle, the Green Heartleaf thrives in warm, humid atmospheres and adores basking in bright, filtered sunlight – just like those exotic jungle dwellers lounging under the leafy canopy. And here's the secret to her heart (shaped leaves…): don't be shy about giving her vines a little trim; it's the secret to helping her fill out and live up to all her plant potential! 10 14 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-cordatum-s-heartleaf http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/heartleafcordatum4inpot.png?v=1609956192 4817033855058 Harry Buying plant Harry is the closest you’ll come to being a princess. This trailing amigo will climb, vine and trail his way into your heart with his lush foliage of ever growing green leaves. Don’t worry thought, Harry will do it at a gingerly pace (heh). Harry may not be in line for a throne (a trellis, maybe?) but he’s still a catch. Lush leaves that are easy to care for are always a fan favorite here at Plantsome. Harry, you’ve won us over! We do recommend a spray bottle with water to keep his fans, dubbed “Harry Hunters”, out of your home and garden. Ivy is a creeping vine plant that likes bright light and a moist soil to flourish but can do without and still survive. When you think of ivy you may think of crumbling buildings and lush trellises, but they make great houseplants too! Having an Ivy plant at home is like having a piece of your very own fairytale. And please don't believe the fake news that Harry simply takes over everywhere he goes. On this side of the pond he can totally be tamed! Ivy variation varies (English Ivy, Algerian, Persian Ivy) depending on availability. 10 14 Fairly little Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Toxic Every other year Fertilize monthly in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hedera-s-ivy http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/EnglishIvy6inpot.png?v=1609955745 4706984984658 Jessica Jessica is a go getter. She started her career long ago as a movie and TV extra in L.A. but she's a gal with big ambitions. Back in the day she says she would juggle her time between countless auditions and being a bartender in a strip club bar near Long Beach. These days, Jessica is the lead actress in many Hollywood blockbuster movies and even has a Wax Bar. Its a strange combo but hey, you work it, girl! Get ready to say "yaasss" to the Hoya Krimson Queen! This beautiful, variegated Hoya Carnosa is a visual treat, really! Jessica's lovely foliage features light and dark green tones with strawberry cream markings if treated well. Talking about care, make sure you let Jessica tan somewhere with bright, indirect sunlight. Also, don't forget to water her once a week but DON'T over do it. Coming from L.A., Jessica doesn't like the rain that much! *Please note that Plantsome carries an assorted variety of Krimson Princess and Krimson Queen. You will receive either of these two plants in your order. 10 18 Moderate Strong air purifying South facing no direct sunlight Not toxic Not needed Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hoya-carnosa-krimson-queen-wax-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/HoyaCrimsonQueenpot.png?v=1609955884 4941145964626 Xiao Xiao’s star sign is Aquarius (she picked it out herself), which means she’s a visionary with passionate views on social issues. If you zoom in on photos of all the great movements in history -- the stonewall riots, the women’s suffrage movement, the land back protests -- you’ll see a flash of green or a little philodendron with its fist in the air. These are Xiao’s ancestors and she aims to carry on their legacy by planting herself on the right side of history (herstory?). Whatever you believe in, you’ll find a passionate, and photogenic, ally in Xiao. Xiao’s dark green leaves are lined with bright yellow variegation, like streaks of starlight. Fitting, as Xiao brightens any room she enters with her laidback, thoughtful personality. Place her in bright, indirect light and occasionally give her some time in the shade to recharge and reflect. Hey you! You may have noticed that this plant was once classified as an air purifier. While all plants do purify your air to an extent, it's significantly less than this green amigo would like to take credit for! Wanna learn more?

Yep you heard it, Eileen is instafamous. She loves bragging about how her gorgeous green leaves always get her a ton of likes. We have to admit she does look amazing. We understand you all adore her. Eileen is part of the famous Ficus family and she's not the only stunner in the fam. The Ficus plants have beautiful leaves. Some are big while some are small. We really love them all. Eileen is an air purifying plant but also slightly poisonous so don't get too close for a Fi-kiss! The Ficus Lyrata Bush is also known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig! Flourishing in bright, indirect light, it appreciates consistent watering, so keep the soil evenly moist without waterlogging, allowing the top inch to dry between waterings. While it demands a bit of attention, its stunning leaves and air-purifying abilities make the effort all the more rewarding! 15 40 Regular Strong air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic to pets Every 1-2 years Every time you water (except in winter) https://plantsome.ca/products/ficus-lyrata-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/FicusLyrata6inpot.png?v=1609955791 4643152658514 Finn Finn's life motto is: "Happy tummy, happy life." From mac-and-cheese and poutine to his famous southern-style green beans, Finn is the king of comfort food. Having worked at upscale restaurants around the world, Finn is ready to take on BC's awesome culinary mosaic! So stop cooking alone and let this trouble-free fella be your personal sous-chef! Bon appetite! Finn is known for his long and refined, semi-succulent leaves that look like green beans. Similar to his cousins Zoe and Pablo, this joyful Peperomia Ferreyrae can be cared for with incredible ease. Just be sure to place Finn somewhere he can get bright, indirect sunlight and water his soil evenly when it becomes dry. Do this, and Finn may get so happy he might even 'spill the beans' on his latest recipes. Yummy! 10 21 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-ferreyrae-s-happy-bean http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/happybean4inweb_e7108ae0-b2cd-4f82-b5e8-8af7306dab1e.png?v=1609956145 4524312756306 Mojo What the heck does Mojo even mean? Mojo is an African word that describes inner power. Your swag, your shine, your sparkle, you know? What's Mojo's inner power, you ask? Well, he's super duper good at purifying the air, which will help you with a happy and healthy fresh room! Harmful substances such as Benzenes better hide when Mojo's around because he'll attack them straight on. Mojo is a feisty one, behold! He's also lightly poisonous, so repeat after me: with pets a go-go, Mojo is a no-no from the get-go. Dracaena fragrans ‘Janet Craig’ is one of many Dracaena cultivars. Commonly, Dracaena fragrans are sometimes called “Corn Plants” because they grow in stalks and have long, wide leaves, similar to corn plants. Janet Craig, in particular, are known for their wide, wavy, dark green leaves.Dracaena are great easy care tropical houseplants. They can tolerate anything from bright, indirect light to low light (keep them out of direct sunlight, it will burn their leaves). Their soil should almost entirely dry in between waterings and don’t require much fertilizer (only once or twice a year), which makes them very low maintenance!If you notice any brown leaf tips, it might be due to mineral buildup from your tap water. If you have particularly hard water or use a water softener, switch to watering with filtered water. 10 20 Infrequent Strong air purifyer Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Every 2 years Once or twice a year https://plantsome.ca/products/dracaena-janet-craig-compacta-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/dracjanetcraigbabywithpot.png?v=1609955651 4707003400274 Reza Variegated leaves, CHECK! Beautiful flowers, CHECK! Easy to care for plant, CHECK! Need we say more? Reza is just a no-brainer plant that everyone should aspire to own and we're not saying that because we bought a few to many! Fun fact: the Hoya was named by a botanist in the 19th century in honour of his friend Thomas Hoy. Talking about taking your friendships to the next level! Hoyas are b(l)ooming and for good reason! These beautiful and easy to care for tropicals have stunning flowers, if you are a patient plant parent that is. There is a big chance that it may take two or three years before your Hoya will show its most prized possession but oh, oh the delight when you first find these pretty flowers nestled in between the leaves. Its a sight to behold! We've named this Hoya Publicalyx 'Reza which means 'hope' and we sure hope that he'll bring you some beautiful blooms! 10 19 Moderate Strong air purifying South facing no direct sunlight Not toxic Not needed Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hoya-publicalyx-porcelain-flower-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Hoyapublicalyxpot.png?v=1609955896 4629573009490 Cranerys We hear ya: Strelitzie Reginae sounds like people dressed as scientists for toothpaste ads. If so, you might dig this plant’s name in regular parlance: Bird of Paradise, or Crane Flower. Now, that’s a damn good superhero name! The nicknames come from two pretty neat design features: the plant looks like a birds head when it’s blossoming, and the flowers resemble feathers on a crane’s head (the bird, not the machine). Aside from its noble roots (ha), the Strelitzia is actually pretty down to earth (somebody’s on a streak today!) and easy to please. She is not fussy about her watering needs, as long as you don't overdo it. Just like climate change, though, sunburn is a real thing: if you leave your Strelitzia exposed to direct sunlight, it will suffer more than that time you tried a DIY wax job during the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Instead, use indirect light, all year-round, and avoid temperatures below 10°C. Oh and a final, friendly advice: this plant is considered mildly toxic for cats, dogs and people. So, if your household has pets, children, adults on a plant-based diet or all of the above...you might want to get rid of them first! 27 125 Frequent Moderately air purifying Bright spot near a window Slightly toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/strelitzia-reginae-bird-of-paradise-xl http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BirdofParadiseXXLfranco.png?v=1609955368 4636799434834 Bucky Movie viper Gordon Gekko once said that greed is good.

It is known that Theodora’s family dates back to the very same pharaohs who ruled over Egypt and built the pyramids. The blood that runs in her veins is older than money itself and unfathomably more powerful. Theodora also goes by “Dragon Scale” due to an abnormally scaly part at the bottom of her spine - it is rumoured she isn’t fully human plant but part something other than this world. The Alocasia Red Secret is extremely rare and finding one is something to be proud of in of itself. This gorgeous beauty has enormous marked and textured leaves which only lend credence to the idea that she is part something non-plant. She thrives in the bright indirect light with a bit of shade thrown in, and particularly enjoys conducting business in humid environments. It would be wise to keep the soil wet and not soggy... unless you want to find out more about that secret side. 10 20 Frequent Light air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/alocasia-cuprea-red-secret-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Alocasia-Cuprea-4in_ilyah.png?v=1654558607 4543306989650 Eileen This is perhaps a little unexpected, but did you know the Plantsome family also has some real music lovers?

'Nephros' is Greek for Kidney and 'Lepsis' translates to 'scale'. The Greek refer to the scale of this plant that have a 'kidney like' shape to them. It takes a bit of fantasy, we agree but it makes for a good story. Carl is a thirsty dude so be sure to water him plenty of time. Carl is not poisonous and doesn't need any plant food. The Plantsome app will help with his watering needs. Easy! Carl is the ultimate green houseplant. He has a full head of bright green leaves and easy to maintain. Easy to take care of and great at purifying the air, too. Another mouthful, his real name is Nephrolepsis but he's often called the Boston Fern. Some say he studied at Harvard and got a degree in frond management. 10 17 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright but no direct sunlight Non-toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/nephrolepis-exaltata-boston-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Bostonfern4inpot.png?v=1609955386 6870889463890 Peggy Just about every self-respecting plant Insta page has a photo of this lady on his or her feed: the Senecio Rowleyanus aka Pea Plant aka String of Pearls or our little Peggy as we call her. The reason Peggy is so much in the spotlight may be obvious, her gorgeous strings of pearls. I mean just look at 'em! Draping down like a kind of green waterfall. A beautiful hanging plant to place in any modern interior. Peggy is very attached to her pearls, but she understand she has to let go of some of them occasionally. Do not be alarmed if some have come detached on arrival. She just creates new ones! A word of caution: Peggy is very possessive of her pearls. This beautiful necklace that she's wearing can become very long (60-90 cm!), so take this into account when choosing a spot. Furthermore, Peggy is a succulent from the drier parts of West Africa. She doesn't need a lot of water. She likes a bright spot but not in direct sunlight. Peggy's lovely locks may be a little short right now but with enough love and attention they will be Instagram-worthy in no time. We love you Peggy! 10 14 Little Low air purifier Bright indirect light Very toxic - careful with pets/kids Repot when root bound Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/senecio-rowleyanus-variegated-string-of-pearls-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/String-of-Pearls-Variegated-5in_ltgrayisaac.png?v=1653421374 4651690295378 Carmen Carmen is the ultimate PILF (Plant I'd Like to Follow). She looks great in pink, smells like a million bucks, cleans the air like nobody's business AND has the attitude to boost. She's still good at what she does too - the last role she played, in 2018, even got her a Palm d'or by the Royal Horticultural Society! There are people who say Carmen, the Hoya Carnosa, might be too old and past her glory days. Sure, she's a little inflexible sometimes and always complains about not getting enough filtered light but don't we all complain sometimes?

Now, don't let the 'snake' part confuse you. Unlike his slithering namesake, Kaa's got his own style. Snakes can't stand tall, but Kaa? He's a plant with confidence. Snakes throw hissy fits, but Kaa? He's as cool as a cucumber. While snakes crawl, Kaa struts his stuff with elegance. No need to worry about in-laws here either; they might call him 'mother in law's tongue' because of his sharp leaves, but Kaa's more like the cool uncle of the plant world. The Sansevieria Laurentii is also known as the Snake Plant. Unlike real snakes causing chaos on planes, this plant is all about grounded tranquility. He's as easygoing as a Sunday morning, thriving in various light conditions, from bright, indirect rays to cozy low-light spots. Keep his cool by giving him a leisurely sip every 2-4 weeks; he's no fan of wet feet!

A plant of little needs, Tucker mostly keeps to himself, although he is known for getting emotional during the National Anthem, he even knows the words off by heart. He told us he has a full scale version of the flag that he keeps tucked away between his leaves and only brings out for National Holidays. He keeps it perfectly folded thanks to a flag-folding tutorial that he found online. Tucker believes in freedom of speech...but only if you’re saying things that he’s okay with hearing. Okay so you wanted something big, something beautiful, without the hassle of having to care for it all the time? Meet the wonderful Cast Iron Plant! This tropical houseplant, or Aspidistra if that's your thing, is an impressively tough plant that is super hard to kill. Go ahead and take a long vacation, this plant won't mind! Just give it a nice spot with indirect light (no direct rays for this fella), and water occasionally, letting the excess moisture drip away. We love a low-maintenance amigo. 30 85 Low to Moderate Strong air purifier Anything but direct sunlight Non-toxic Every 3-4 years Every 2-3 months https://plantsome.ca/products/aspidistra-cast-iron-plant-xl http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CastIronPlant10inpot.png?v=1609955542 7087057469522 Joe I can't help but notice your green thumb from across the room. The way you tend to your plants with such care and attention is something to be admired. You have a certain energy that radiates through the foliage and draws me in. I can't resist the urge to learn more about your botanical passions. I know it might seem strange, but I have this gut feeling that our love for plants could bring us together. I'll do whatever it takes to nurture our connection, even if it means getting my hands a little dirty along the way. But don't worry, I'll still let you keep your other plants thriving and healthy. The Philodendron White Knight is a rare and highly sought-after plant that requires moderate care. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Water the plant once a week, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Avoid overwatering and make sure the pot has good drainage. Mist the plant occasionally and fertilize it with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Keep the plant in a warm environment with moderate to high humidity levels, and avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C). The White Knight is a slow-growing plant that can reach up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, with large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that are predominantly white with green veins.   10 30 Infrequent Strong air purifying Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every 2 years Every two weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-white-knight-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/philodendron-white-knight-4in-2_pinkalfie.png?v=1680200727 7119214837842 Nana Nana's a natural born climber. Kilimanjaro, Everest, K2, Mt Fuji...she's done em all. She also climbs corporate ladders like its no big deal, but Ice Climbing is where her heart's at. We know, you wouldn't think of it when you see her but ice runs through those vines! It's amazing to see Hoya's trail and vine their way from one place to the next and it's truly incredible how they can latch onto almost anything. Nana's no different in that regard. Oh yeah, she be vinin! Hoyas don't ask for much. They are forgiving plants that are reasonably drought tolerant and can take some of your sporadic plant neglect (we totally get it, holidays are important!). Just let the top of the soil fully dry up by about 1 inch between waterings and place yours somewhere with bright, indirect sunlight. You be good to your Hoya like that and they'll be good to you.

With his lush, cascading emerald leaves, Gino's a true charmer and a cappuccino connoisseur. As part of the Coffea Arabica family, known for its world-famous coffee beans, Gino is here to make your space brew-tiful! Just like a perfectly brewed cup, Gino is easy to enjoy, requiring minimal effort to keep his charm alive. Caring for the Coffea Arabica is as enjoyable as savoring a well-brewed cup of coffee. To keep this charming plant thriving, provide him with bright, indirect sunlight, like you'd find in your favorite corner cafe. Aim for soil that's consistently moist but not waterlogged (hold the cream and sugar). This Coffee Plant isn't into cold brew, so keep your indoor temperature cozy between 65-75°F (18-24°C), and consider misting his leaves regularly to keep him comfortable! 15 28 Average Light air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every two years Once per month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/coffea-arabica-coffee-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CoffeeArabica6inpot.png?v=1609955574 6724499636306 Mike P If one of our plants were to star in his own dating show, Mike P. would be it. Though not particularly passionate about much in life, he does look great in black tie and will charm the leaves off of your parents. Just look at his velvety outfit! Whether he’s in your ensuite or your fantasy suite, Mike P.’s just a low maintenance lad that enjoys long walks on the beach, intermittent fasting, and hangin’ with his buds. The TOTAL package, if you ask us. Mike P.’s on a journey to find love and build a connection that lasts. His perfect match is someone who plays hard to get and occasionally leaves him on read… absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Indigenous to the islands of Dominica and Tobago, this smooth talker likes it when you leaf him alone to do his thing. Fairly low maintenance, the Philodendron Micans will also tolerate most light levels and a forgetful plant parent. But as long as you’re there for the right reasons, Mike P. will grow trails and trails of velvety foliage fit for television stardom. Ideally, he likes his soil moist and his air well-circulated (whatever that means)...

Not only does she bloom and blossom, but she’s also the nicest plant ever! This green amigo loves the holidays, and we mean EVERY holiday. National Fast Food Day? She’s there. World Hello Day (it’s a thing, look it up), Holly is THERE. And she never wants to celebrate alone! Holly is one of those plants that always likes your Facebook photos and leaves cute emojis to let you know she really cares. She doesn’t drink much but she’ll get you in the festive spirit by singing your favorite song and showing off her festive colours! The flowers on this cactus are induced by introducing it to cooler temperatures and long periods of darkness. As summer turns to fall, this beauty starts to come into its groove and the flower producing starts. All that coolness aside though, your cactus will still require plenty of bright sunlight to thrive so be sure to maintain it in a well lit room with plenty of direct light. Water sparingly and keep your Christmas cactus in a pot with good drainage for the best results. Grow cactus grow! ** Bloom colour could be a variety of colours depending on what's available.

She fiercely believes there’s somebody out there for her. For all of us. We just have to find them. Juliet spends most of her free time planning her dream wedding - the perfect decor, the perfect wedding band, everything perfect for her perfect prince. Nobody has the heart to tell her that there's no such thing as perfect. Lets face it, who wants to be the one to tell somebody to stop believing in love? Juliet’s met some great plants but they’re just not him y’know. They’re not Romeo. The String of Hearts (known to some as the Ceropegia Woodii) is a lovely trailing plant easily recognisable with its heart shaped leaves. Caring for Juliet is fairly simple, she needs watering once every 7-10 days but don’t allow her to sit in water as she’ll get root rot (and heartbreak). Juliet enjoys a little bit of sunshine, so having her close to a window would be great...and helps her look for the love of her life. 10 12 Little Low air purifier Bright indirect light Non-toxic Repot when root bound Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/string-of-hearts-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/StringofHearts4inpot.png?v=1616780811 4700434628690 Sri Sri might look like he's got all of his leaves just up in crinkles for no reason but you'd be so wrong to think that. You see, Sri is a master Yogi. And he's mastered the pose of the 'crinkle leaf' so well that it has become a permanent pose! All stretching and bending aside, we think those crinkly leaves look hella cute and make for a perfect backdrop when those beautiful Hoya leaves are in bloom. Wouldn't you agree? So you are wondering what the deal is with those Hoya plants everyone is raving about? Well let us tell you: these magnificent green amigos are capable of producing some pretty amazing flowers (if you are kind to them, and incredibly patient). This Hoya Hindu Rope is no exception! Flowering could take up to two years but the result is stunning. If you want yours to flower, keep the humidity at over 40%, fertilize regularly in spring and summer and water thoroughly when the soil has dried out about a third of the way through. Hey, no one said this was easy! 10 16 Moderate Strong air purifying South facing no direct sunlight Not toxic Not needed Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hoya-carnosa-compacta-hindu-rope-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Hoyacompacta4inpot.png?v=1609955886 6851500965970 Amir For Amir, nothing is too extra. He lives in luxury, as is his right. With a motto of “work hard, play harder,” Amir not only treats himself to the good life, but everyone around him. Knowing Amir feels like knowing royalty. Thankfully, being in the upper echelons of the business world has only minutely gone to his head. From weekend bottle service to first class international travel, Amir seeks only the best in all aspects of his life. Needless to say—if Amir wants it, he got it. The Strobilanthes Dyeriana, otherwise known as the Persian Shield or Royal Purple Plant is a stunning tropical plant with bright purple metallic/iridescent foliage. Originating in Southeast Asia, the Persian Shield is happiest in dappled sunlight and warm, humid air. It is a relatively easy houseplant, tolerant of most lighting conditions and only requiring water once the top 2 inches of soil dry out. 10 15 Average Average air purifier Low to bright indirect light Mildly irritating Once every 2-3 years Once every 2 weeks in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/strobilanthes-dyeriana-persian-shield-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Strobilanthes-Dyeriana-Persian-Shield-4in_whiteella.png?v=1648598368 6574787985490 Miguel Arrrriba amigos! One of our favourite plants, the one and only Miguel, has migrated to British Columbia to have a go at the Rocky Mountains. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome him and we’re sure our fellow British Columbians won’t mind having a captive...I mean friendly audience to drone on and on to...I mean talk to about our beautiful province. Just remember to throw Miguel a compliment or two in the middle of your craft beer presentation, ok? Those leaves! Though there are thousands of species of Philodendron, the Scandens Brasil stands out for his stunning green and yellow leaves. Perhaps he can tell you about them after you two visit your tenth biking trail. This green amigo would also like to tell you that he likes both a little direct sunlight and a little shade, and to sit in moist soil. He definitely came to the right place! Why not give him a moss covered support so he can practice his climbing skills? He was a professional back in the jungle, which you would know if you paused your Nickelback playlist long enough to listen to anything he said. 10 13 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-brazil-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PhilodendronBrazil4inpot.png?v=1618373150 4621036585042 Eloa For Eloa, Carnival happens almost every day! This Brazilian beauty knows how to brag and honestly, who wouldn't? Those bright orange flowers and Samba moves make everyone go crazy. But hey, easy tiger! Eloa also plays hard to get and likes to hang out near the clouds. After all, she is a true rainforest goddess and should be treated like one! The Nemanthus is famous for its charming looks. In the summer, Eloa puts her Carnival costume on and produces goldfish-like flowers, making her the centre of the universe. This tropical cascading plant loves water and plenty of indirect sunlight. Treat her well and she might even reward you with flowers year-around. Her ideal date? A picnic on the beach, under the shade of a palapa, drinks and some Bossa nova playing in the background ;) 10 18 Average Low air purifier Indirect light Safe for pets!

They are quite fast growing and moisture-wicking, which makes for high humidity. Good for Baloo, good for you! Banana plants contain about 80% water. Needless to say, Baloo is a thirsty roommate and really adores the sun! So pick a bright spot and... go bananas! When we first met the Banana plant, it introduced itself with a tale from the jungle. Named after a playful friend from its past adventures, the Musa is here to bring joy and tropical vibes to your space. The Musa requires a lot of sun and water, but it's worth it since this plant is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S....     10 22 A lot of Light air purifying Bright direct light Non-toxic Once every two years Every other week (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/musa-dwarf-cavendish-banana-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Musadwarf4inpelle.png?v=1609955349 4586943774802 Rio Looking for an air purifying pro? The Phlebodium is a great choice. Rio is a thirsty fella so be sure to give him plenty of water but no direct sunlight. Native to the subtropical regions of South America, Rio is often situated underneath the canopies of large trees. His pretty green fronds can last up to two years each! Rio isn't big on haircuts or slick looks, oh no, his fronds are all over the place! You may think Rio doesn't really know what to do with all those leaves but he just really likes the out of bed look. One leave is elongated and another will have six branches. It's fascinating how Rio manages to distract us with all of this randomness but we love it. Speaking of random: Phlebodium Aureum is Rio's official name so there's that useless fact, but he's more commonly referred to as a Blue Star Fern. The fronds of this beautiful fern friend are fast growing and will require regular watering. Keep the soil moist at all times and Rio will thank you! 15 50 Regular Strong air purifier Low light Not toxic Once every two years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/copy-of-phlebodium-aureum-blue-star-fern-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Bluestar6infranco.png?v=1587789329 4817066066002 Malorie Malorie doesn’t take crap from anybody, she’s a high powered lawyer who will sue your ass if you even look at her funny. Malorie grew up in a difficult household so she’s no stranger to hard times and literally climbed out of poverty through sheer will. Malorie’s area of practice is divorce, her father left her mother with nothing and skipped town - she never forgot it. So now she makes sure all her clients get as much as they can get. Such a trailblazer! The Marengo Ivy is originally from the Canary Islands and the Atlantic coasts of northern Africa. This hardy plant is excels at trailing in difficult areas due to it being a vigorous grower. Give this lady a shed and she'll can cover that unsightly thing in no-time. Although she's popular in garden beds and on patios, Malorie will do just fine indoors, too! The Marengo Ivy is not fussy about conditions, she is okay with a bright spot or even part shade. She has no real soil requirements and watering care need not be pedantic. Easy! 10 20 Fairly little Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Toxic Every other year Fertilize monthly in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hedera-s-marengo-ivy http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/MarengoIvyHederaCanarisis6inpot.png?v=1609955747 4609517289554 James James is Plantsome's secret agent. He pulls off the most insane stunts in his watermelon suit. James is half-succulent which means he stores water in his leaves. It also means that James doesn't get upset when you forget to water him. And when you do give him his drink, shaken, not stirred! James is an absolute super hero at taking care of himself. He's so busy making the world a better place that he has no time to die. His air purifying skills are second to none and his pet friendliness provides a safe refuge for Fifi and Felix! You and James are going to form a really strong bond. 10 20 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-argyreia-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Peperomiawatermelonpelle.png?v=1609956168 4510493409362 Bucky Movie viper Gordon Gekko once said that greed is good. We, on the other hand, like to think that green is good. If you're not one to frown on making a little dough, though, Bucky's a keeper. For real! The Chinese say this fella (Pachira Aquatica) brings luck and guards treasures better than any safe. Bucky will also keep the air around you cleaner than a tax audit. So, consider Bucky an investment. Although not swimming in money like Uncle Scrooge, Bucky is quite the bon vivant in the botanical jet set. In South America, where the Pachira Aquatica comes from, Bucky thrives in riverbanks (and judging by its popular name, Money Tree, maybe in regular banks too?) and can even turn into a fancy tree, 30 meters high and all. His flowers can replace cocoa, but you'd better stick to the chocolate: the Pachira juice, like certain bonds, is moderately toxic. 25 120 Frequent Moderately air purifying Bright spot - no direct sunlight Moderately toxic Smaller ones - every year Once a month during summer https://plantsome.ca/products/pachira-aquatica http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Pachira_with_blue_diamond_web.png?v=1583798963 4602627719250 Dalton All good Westerns have a scene where there's a gunfight between a badass dude dressed head to toe in black with rough-hewn good looks, a glint in his eye and a wicked fast draw and some other guy dressed in beige. Dalton is that badass guy. One look at him and you'll get it. He is dark and brooding and tough as steel. But don't let his "anti-hero" status concern you. Dalton is really easy to have around, so easy in fact that he might even help you folding laundry or doing the dishes - we recommend that you keep your six shooter locked and out of reach however! Introducing the Zamioculcas Black Raven. This dark and mysterious plant is a true gem among houseplants. With leaves that shift from bright green to striking violet-purple black, this variety adds a touch of intrigue to any space. He's not your run-of-the-mill houseplant; he's considered "rare" for a reason! However, despite his unique looks, this variety is surprisingly low-maintenance and likes to be cared for as if he was just any ol' ZZ! Just find him a cozy spot with indirect light, and let his soil dry out a bit between waterings. Go team easy! 15 30 Infrequent Low air purifier Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/zamioculcas-black-raven-m-zz-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BlackRavenzztwotone.png?v=1689290933 4564852998226 Gus Gus is your gateway plant to plant parenthood. If that's too technical: Gus is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Gus and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Gus, such a low maintenance guy. Gus also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Gus does not need any plant food. Gosh Gus, what's not to like here? The Sansevieria Laurentii is also known as the snake plant. To be honest, we don't get it. Snakes can't stand up, while Gus can. Snakes throw hissy fits, and Gus is as chill as a cucumber. Snakes crawl, and Gus doesn't crawl. Snakes always show up on planes, and Gus hates planes. All slithering aside, the snake plant is also called a 'mother in law's tongue' because of how sharp the tips of their leaves are. Get it? Get it?! Anyway, this African plant is truly one of the easiest to maintain, which makes Gus really popular. Gus purifies your air but be careful with Fifi and Felix (pets)... this snake has some poisonoussss juiccccce. 25 70 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-zeylanica-snake-plant-xl http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Sansieveria-Zeylanica-10in_santo.png?v=1660933306 4832154124370 Crystal Crystal is as woke as they come. To her everybody is a sheep and she’ll be the first person tell you how you’re being led astray. Crystal has her own blog where she carefully outlines how the very fabric of our society is fraying because of the rise of populist movements and the influence of social media on our mind body and spirit. She’s not totally wrong but there is a point where somebody is so woke that they are hallucinating. Crystal had a run in with the law after she ‘planted’ herself outside a popular waffle shop with protest signs because she firmly believed it was a secret drop site for spies of the deep state. It’s crazy but we don’t know what to believe anymore! The Moon Valley Pilea A.K.A Pilea Involucrata is made up of green, quilted leaves with deep bronze veins (and a deep hatred for corporations). Crystal is a fan of moist soil, high humidity and warm temperatures - she’s not a fan of companies that keep your  data and sell it to other companies 'anonymized' (yeah right). Keep Crystal away from direct sunlight though, it will scorch those pretty leaves to a crisp and nobody wants to see a crystal turn to dust. 10 15 Regular Low air purifying Bright, indirect light Non-toxic Every 2 years Once a month https://plantsome.ca/products/pilea-moonvalley-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/MoonvalleyPilea4inpot.png?v=1609956229 6562502213714 Nikki Just because Nikki is an easy plant to maintain, doesn’t mean she’s an easy plant to find. In order to “get down with the Nik-ness”, you must remind her how rare and special she is on the daily. She likes to think that she’s the last plant you think about at night and the first plant you think about in the morning. But, like, don’t get too obsessed because Nikki doesn’t like that. She’s cool and casual. Cool, casual, and ready to be showered in your unrelenting love. Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma. Raaa-fid-a-fooor...screw it. This plant is chill. She doesn’t have time for nine syllable Latin names and neither do we. Her name is Nikki (two syllables, thank you very much) and she’s always down to hang. Well, as long as the lighting is good and her soil is moist. Not too moist: remember to drain the soil. 10 22 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/rhaphidophora-tetrasperma-mini-monstera-ginny-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Rhaphidophoratetrasperma4inpot.png?v=1617038950 6865595859026 Burt You'll find Burt strumming along on his ukulele asking for the rain to stop. It's not that he doesn't like the rain per se, but he would just like less of it. More of a occasional light shower kind of guy, Burt is. Some say the rain he's singing about is more of an emotional "rain," and he does wear his heart on his s-leaf, so they might be on to something. Either way, if you're looking for an easy-going sidekick with something special, Burt is your guy. In Brazil, the Peperomia plant is known to be gifted as a sign that 'everything will be alright'. What a great mantra to live by, don't you think? The Peperomia Polybotrya or Raindrop Peperomia plants have fleshy leaves that almost look succulent-like. Well don't let the name fool you, these easy-care plants are actually a type of succulent and don't need lots of rain (or water) to survive. 10 25 Infrequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-polybotrya-raindrop-peperomia-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Peperomia-Polybotrya-Raindrop-Peperomia-4in_pinkfreya.png?v=1650923797 4524269437010 Nala Jr. Nala Jr. is such a sweet little plant. She's not the fondest of being in the spotlight and tends to shy away from too much social activity but that's ok! Nala's introverted behaviour is so well balanced with her dazzlingly coloured leaves. And ominous looking as they may seem, the leaves of the Fittonia are non-toxic so safe for pets! No need to get nervous about Fifi throwing up after nibbling on Nala. Nice! Nala the nerve plant may be small in stature but she sure has a striking look to her. The dark leaves are brightened by tiny veins that run through them. Nala is an easy grower that doesn't mind to be in the shade. Low light is her kinda light.

Legend has it that she used to spend her time flying shotgun in her sister's Lockheed Vega, but they are both retired.

All these names gave Alfredo a bit of an identity crisis. To top it all off, botanists once lumped him in with the wrong family! Fortunately the record has been set straight and we know he's part of the Monstera family. It was all very stressful for Alfredo so we've agreed not to bring it up to him again. Can you help us keep that promise? Meet the Monstera Deliciosa! Hailing from Mexico, allow us to introduce a plant with more character than a telenovela. This guy is a born climber, so keep a close watch on those adventurous leaves. As he matures, his foliage will start rocking those iconic Swiss Cheese plant holes, turning your space into a living masterpiece. Now, when it comes to sunshine, the Monstera loves it but prefers a bit of shade – think of it as his siesta time. For hydration, give him a good sip, but let the top inch of soil dry out between drinks, usually every 1-2 weeks.

We normally wouldn't advise you to keep a lid on the growth of your green amigo's and amiga's but with Boris in town, things are different! Boris has it all under control! Simply place the plants provided in this DIY kit inside, close the lid and marvel at your own home-made terrarium! Terrarium's are hot (hehe) these days but we're sure you've never seen anything quite like our big and beautiful Boris! This amazing terrarium is truly a labour of love here at Plantsome. Curated with green amigos hand-picked for life in a glass dome by our in-house botanists! This lovely glass terrarium will come with a set of six plants, some organic soil mix, lava rocks for drainage. Simply plant your plants inside and create your own little urban jungle in a dome. Boris loves to be shown off but be careful when Boris gets too excited because he tips over easily which usually doesn't end well. Included in your Terrarium Kit: Terrarium with cork lid. (Height: 38cm / Diam: 29 cm) Six different 2" terrarium plants Lava rock for drainage Decor stones for decoration 3L Tropical Plant Mix (soil) Do not take off the lid after you've closed your Boris. Closed terrariums are self regulating since no moisture can really escape. There is no need for additional watering as long as the soil is slightly moist when you build Boris. The only time to take off the lid is if you see condensation building up. Remove the lid until the condensation disappears. Do not leave the terrarium open for more than one day. 21 30 Infrequent Not air purifying Bright, Indirect to Low Toxicity depends on plants in terrarium Once every 3-4 years None https://plantsome.ca/products/terrarium http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Plantsome-Nov2021-129.jpg?v=1696367900 6558789402706 Marty Marty is Palm from Central America.

Marty's hobby really is cleaning the air and its dirty work so Marty will require some love and attention from you to keep doing what Marty does best! Introducing the Areca Palm, a native of Central America flaunting its stylish long fronds. It's no surprise this fella reigns supreme among the palms! Think of him as the Elvis Presley, the undisputed king of the palm world. To keep your Areca feeling like a king, place it in a sunny spot with some cool, filtered sunlight, and maintain that perfect balance in its soil – consistently moist but never waterlogged. Take care of your Areca, and your Areca will take care of you.

Let's just say cultural sensitivity in the 70's wasn't what it is today. Well, Alocasia Amazonica or Tiki is kinda similar - she's not from the Amazon at all - but was created in a Florida nursery in the 50's by crossing A. longiloba and A. sanderiana. And to top it off many people feel they have been cursed by bad luck when they realize how difficult it can be to look after these plants. Oh, Tiki! The Alocasia Amazonica is one of many species of Alocasia (almost 100 unique species!). It's commonly known as an African Mask or Elephant's Ear plant. The dark leaves with striking white veins make it a popular houseplant. Those beautiful leaves can grow to up to 40 cm in length. Alocasia thrive in bright, indirect sunlight - as much as they can get. Like a lot of tropical plants, water is important - the soil in the spring and summer should always be moist - but not soaking wet. Alocasia can be a challenging plant to care for, but when you get it right, it is incredibly rewarding! 10 25 Frequent Light air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/alocasia-amazonica-african-mask-1 http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/latestamazonicapot.png?v=1609955243 6555010465874 Jacques Jacques knows he doesn’t look like a stereotypical cactus. You don’t need to keep bringing it up. He knows that cacti are predominantly leafless but, guess what? Those wavy green things aren’t leaves. They’re flattened stems. And he knows cacti don’t normally look this gobsmackingly gorgeous hanging over a basket but it’s not his fault his flowers are so pretty. And, okay, your average cactus is a big prick compared to Jacques’s harmless, limp exterior, but that doesn't mean he won’t poke your eye out in a fight. So, go ahead, provoke him. Because Jacques is ready to eat some water-soluble cactus fertilizer or throw down...and he’s all out of water-soluble cactus fertilize! Jacques would kick you in the face if it meant he could get a nice spot in some bright, indirect light. Jacques would punch you in the gut (or groin even) for a consistent, biweekly to monthly watering schedule that takes into account his low tolerance for cold water. Jacques would literally burn your house down for monthly doses of fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.

To look the way he does, Leandro spends hours at the gym every single day. We are kind of obssessed to be honest. Those incredible glossy, strong, manicured leaves resemble the looks of an Olympian God. He's just impeccably handsome! Gosh! Leandro has beautiful dark and pale green leaves that make him spectacular. This Peacock plant is used to the exotic, tropical weather of Rio de Janeiro, so he expects that you place him somewhere with constant high humidity. Placing a bowl with water near Leandro is nice. Also, let those muscles grow by making sure that Leandro enjoys low to moderate sunlight and a well-moist soil.  Obrigado! 15 28 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-makoyana-peacock-plant-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Makoyana6inboule.png?v=1609955490 4657167761490 Alfredo Alfredo is a Monstera Deliciosa which is commonly referred to as a Swiss Cheese Plant, Swiss Cheese Vine and Five holes plant.

She fiercely believes there’s somebody out there for her. For all of us. We just have to find them. Juliet spends most of her free time planning her dream wedding - the perfect decor, the perfect wedding band, everything perfect for her perfect prince. Nobody has the heart to tell her that there's no such thing as perfect. Lets face it, who wants to be the one to tell somebody to stop believing in love? Juliet’s met some great plants but they’re just not him y’know. They’re not Romeo. The String of Hearts (known to some as the Ceropegia Woodii) is a lovely trailing plant easily recognisable with its heart shaped leaves. Caring for Juliet is fairly simple, she needs watering once every 7-10 days but don’t allow her to sit in water as she’ll get root rot (and heartbreak). Juliet enjoys a little bit of sunshine, so having her close to a window would be great...and helps her look for the love of her life. 15 18 Little Low air purifier Bright indirect light Non-Toxic Repot when root bound Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/variegated-string-of-hearts-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Stringofhearts6inpot.png?v=1609956352 4688650698834 Miley Miley is the type that loves to just hang around. In tropical forests you'll find her chilling under the canopy of large trees so she is used to low light environments. That's great because the corner spot on the window sill is usually already taken up by your other plants (or plans for plants), right!? The Satin Pothos, or Scindapsus Pictus 'Argyraeus', isn't just a stunner; she's also delightfully low-maintenance. Whether she's hanging gracefully or sitting pretty in a regular pot, this plant knows how to work it. Her leaves feel almost as silky as her silver spots look stunning. We can't help but sing her praises daily here at Plantsome, and she's not one to argue. You grow, girl! She'll thrive in bright, indirect light and likes a good drink every 1-2 weeks. And here's a pro tip: give her a refreshing mist occasionally to maintain her radiant appearance. This Satin Pothos knows she's fabulous – and she's here to make your space just as fabulous! 15 32 Moderate Strong air purifier Bright, indirect light Mildly Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/scindapsus-pictus-satin-pothos-argyraeus-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/satinpothos6inpot.png?v=1609956292 7087058813010 Rachel She sings, she shops, and she IS the moment. Rachel is the shining star no matter what room she’s in and who she’s next to. Need a bit of comedic relief or a stunning love interest? Look no further. She’s the character everyone loves to hate because she’s always in the limelight. The truth is, she can’t help it. What she’d love to say to her haters is [redacted]. Whatever… we blame the writers. Other than the fact that Pothos plants are virtually impossible to kill, it’s also pretty neat that they come in so many different varieties and are fast growers. If you have a low light space that you want to turn into a jungle oasis, the Pothos plant is the one for you. Seriously. The Scindapsus Treubii Moonlight or Sterling Silver Pothos will thrive in most indoor lighting conditions and low maintenance when it comes to humidity. Pothos plants do prefer their soil on the moist side, but are verrry drought resistant. Some people refer to Pothos plants as Devil’s Ivy but they’re not a fan of that nickname… 10 18 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/scindapsus-treubii-nearly-black-pothos-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/nearly-black-pothos-4in_blackisaac.png?v=1679434856 4661964931154 Mona What was Leonardo thinking as he painted his glorious Mona Lisa? That beguiling smirk, that stare that won't let go, that beauty oh that beauty! We like to think that he couldn't keep his Ficus Microcarpa out of his mind! Mona is a mystery and a bit of a clarevoyant. We caught Mona one night with her Tarot cards reading the fortunes of Eileen and Audrey. Poor Eileen! Mona predicted all her leaves would fall off! And Audrey? That she would be spinstress! Like we even have those any more! Don't worry about Mona doing that to your plants - we made sure to hide her cards. Bon...sigh... they are so cute and so stunning that we can't keep our eyes off them! These beautiful ornamental mini trees are actually easily shaped and cultured when pruned the right way. The trick is maintaining a constant and correct care routine as just like all Ficus plants, these Bonsai too can be a bit fussy when it comes to drafts, watering and humidity/temperature. Keep your Bonsai's growth in check by rotating her every month or so for an even distribution of the leaf growth. If you're new to plant parenthood beware:  Ficus are notorious for dropping leaves when stressed. Expect Mona to drop a few of them three to four weeks after you receive your plant. Moving is stressful! 21 50 Average Strong air purifying Partial shade, no direct sunlight Slightly poisonous Once every two years Once every 3-4 weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/ficus-ginseng-microcarpa-bonsai-tree-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Grafted-Ficus-Ginseng-Bonsai-Tree-8in_a6ebf924-57a2-42b3-8193-e8f0b3fa628c.png?v=1664841450 4524302696530 Bertie Jr. This easy going companion is really good at getting rid of harmful substances. NASA even rated him five stars for it! Bert will remove Benzenes, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air. Bert is quite thirsty but doesn't have a lot of demands beyond that. What a lovely guy. The Chlorophytum is also known as the spider plant, and is truly one of the easiest air cleaners for your house. We call him Easy Bert because he's so so easy to maintain! He likes the lighter, brighter spots in your home, but he'll do just fine in darker spots. Give this green amigo some water every week, but if you miss a watering sesh- no need to worry about being strangled by Bert. 10 22 Frequently - weekly Strong air purifying Bright, no direct sunlight non-toxic Once a year Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/spider-plant-chlorophytum-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/ChlorophytumComosumVariegatedSpiderPlant4inpot.png?v=1614198678 4711206027346 Peggy Just about every self-respecting plant Insta page has a photo of this lady on his or her feed: the Senecio Rowleyanus aka Pea Plant aka String of Pearls or our little Peggy as we call her. The reason Peggy is so much in the spotlight may be obvious, her gorgeous strings of pearls. I mean just look at 'em! Draping down like a kind of green waterfall. A beautiful hanging plant to place in any modern interior. Peggy is very attached to her pearls, but she understand she has to let go of some of them occasionally. Do not be alarmed if some have come detached on arrival. She just creates new ones! A word of caution: Peggy is very possessive of her pearls. This beautiful necklace that she's wearing can become very long (60-90 cm!), so take this into account when choosing a spot. Furthermore, Peggy is a succulent from the drier parts of West Africa. She doesn't need a lot of water. She likes a bright spot but not in direct sunlight. Peggy's lovely locks may be a little short right now but with enough love and attention they will be Instagram-worthy in no time. We love you Peggy! 15 17 Little Low air purifier Bright indirect light Very toxic - careful with pets/kids Repot when root bound Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/senecio-rowleyanus-string-of-pearls-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/StringofPearls6inpot.png?v=1609956358 4568605917266 Zahra Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Is it the flowers or the foliage that make this plant so attractive? Zahra is an Aphelandra Squarrosa or Zebra plant. In her day-job Zahra radiates elegance and sophistication with her voluptuous white veined-leaves prancing about, but at night she doffs the work clothes and gets into something a little more alluring and wild - this is her flowering side! Bright bracts of yellow flowers that can last up to 6 weeks show what Zahra is really made of. Day or night - Zahra is stripingly pretty! Zebra plants are finicky (needy!). They crave bright, warm and humid environments - something like a sun room or a conservatory is ideal. Don't have one of those? No problem! Put her close to a bright South facing window and she'll be fine - not too much direct sunlight in the summer however! Keep the soil constantly moist during the spring/summer and the humidity high and she will even bring you flowers! 10 18 Regular Low air purifier Bright indirect light Not poisonous Once every two years Weekly in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/aphelandra-squarrossa-zebra-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/AphelandraSquarrosaZebraPlant4inpot.png?v=1609956531 6724445700178 Barb Barb’s favourite drink is a long island iced tea, and that’s probably all you need to know about Barb. That and the fact that she haaates being called Barbie. Recent retiree and former beauty queen, this Florida native has truly lived it all. Don’t take our word for it, either! She’ll gladly tell you all about her time in Vegas with a former US president who we will not name by name or that other time she was almost cast as a star on Baywatch. We get it Barb, you were a total knockout! Philodendrons have always been popular amongst plant parents, and Barb is no exception! This Pink Princess thrives in bright, filtered light, tons of humidity, and a warm environment. It reminds her of home after all! She’s known on the pageant circuit for her intricately shaped leaves and splash of pink. When it comes to her growth, our Barb can be a bit of a (social) climber and wouldn’t mind some support - we recommend a pole for stability (no, really). She told us her love languages are water and words of affirmation - remember that and you two will get along just fine! 10 22 Infrequent Strong air purifying Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every 2 years Every two weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-pink-princess-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PhilodendronPinkPrincessppp5inpot.png?v=1737757699 4651727257682 Lee-Anne The Croton Petra is not the most air purifying plant that you'll find but fear not. Just like any other plant, Lee-Anne will turn Carbon Dioxide into oxygen for you. With Lee-Anne you'll have a happy houseplant no matter what. The Asian beauty Croton Petra is one of the prettiest girls in the classroom. Lee-Anne may look innocent but she has a rebellious streak for sure! If anyone asks, yes she enjoys visits to the salon for a new look. How else would she change those colors all the time? We see right through you Lee-Anne! 10 24 Frequent Lightly air purifying Bright spot with no direct sunlight Lightly poisonous Once every two years Once per month (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/croton-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Croton4inmatte.png?v=1609955586 7166906794066 Dylan Jr. Is it a cobweb? No, it's Dylan! He looks a little frazzled but he really isn't. Dylan isn’t really a fern at all, but a relative of the asparagus plant. Don't expect to put any food on the table, though. Dylan does not provide! The plumosa fern goes by many names—the asparagus fern, or lace fern being some of them. It's distinguished by its delicate, plume-like foliage and is actually a relative of edible asparagus! Beware of its stems, as they will grow very small (and very sharp) spines as the plant ages. Native to Africa, this plant enjoys bright, indirect light and can handle a range of temperatures and humidity levels, making it a very easy houseplant. 10 15 Water moderately Low air purifying No direct sunlight, shaded Toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks, during summer https://plantsome.ca/products/plumosa-asparagus-fern http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/plumosapot.png?v=1696026904 4955046150226 Li Xiu Li Xiu has one dream: to be dipped at the end of a tense, dramatic salsa dance in such a way that it solidifies the undying devotion between her and her dance partner. The dance floor should be clouded in mist and a burning spotlight should bathe Li Xiu and her partner in a yellow glow, highlighting the sweat glistening on her oranges. Everyone’s holding their breath. The judges score them a TEN out of TEN! They’ve never seen such a display of talent and passion. And, even though Li Xui is disqualified for being a tree, her performance lives on forever in the minds of spectators (as the reason many of them gave up alcohol). Some people glance suspiciously at their drinks on the way out. What a show! The Calamondin tree spreads joy, and a love of dance wherever it goes. Bushy leaves and striking white blossoms eventually turn into small, acidic oranges. The juice from these oranges is sour like a lime, and although it can be mixed with other fruits to make cold drinks or marmalade, the Calamondin Tree is often kept as an ornamental fruit-bearing plant. This plant prefers a well-lit space and requires at least a few hours of full sun every day. The Calamondin also loves high humidity and can be kept indoors or outside in spring and summer! Let the top layer of soil to dry out before it’s watered again - this beauty is more comfortable that way. 17 40 Frequent Low air purifier Direct sunlight Toxic Once every two years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calamondin-orange-tree-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/iStock-1360410392.jpg?v=1679090467 4730065616978 Mia Oh boy, is this a tough cookie. The Epipremnum Aureum is a hanging plant that LOVES those high, hard-to-reach, arm-stretching, ladder-falling-while-watering areas in the house. Since the name Epipremnum Aureum reminded us of the spelling bee we failed, we decided to call her Mia. Legend has it that she used to spend her time flying shotgun in her sister's Lockheed Vega, but they are both retired. Now she just hangs around the Plantsome HQ, and whatever happened in Vega stayed in Vega. The Epipremnum, or Pothos Marble Queen, is beloved for its rapid growth and lush vines.

That's great because the corner spot on the window sill is usually already taken up by your other plants (or plans for plants), right!? Its not common to see a plant so stunning that is yet so easy to care for but Miley is definitely one of them. She's a great hanging plant but will do just fine in a regular pot as well. Her leaves have an almost 'satin' feel to them and her silver spots are a sight to behold. We commend her almost daily when we walk into the office here at Plantsome.

His hobbies are spreading misery, taking naps, and glaring at you through his fronds. Though he’d prefer living in a trash can or mounted to a board (its a thing), he’ll be dissatisfied no matter where you put him. And don’t try to build a relationship with him because he doesn’t want friends but don’t leave him alone because he needs someone to listen to him complain. And don’t bring your pets around him (because he hates your pets) but don’t refuse him a pet of his own. And don’t compliment him but don’t let him forget how much better he is than everyone else. And whatever you do, also consider not doing it. Oscar is a unique plant, with branching leaves that spread out like antlers from their base. His fronds look stunning over the side of a hanging basket, and eclectic when mounted to a board with a piece of sphagnum moss. A lover of trash, Oscar still likes to be bathed for 10-20 minutes when his moss dries and to have his fronds misted while he gripes about all your friends. 10 20 Frequent Strong air purifier Indirect light Pet friendly Once every two years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/platycerium-staghorn-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/StaghornFern4inpot.png?v=1616359554 4926001315922 Isla Variegated leaves, CHECK!

These beautiful and easy to care for plants can bloom under the right conditions and put on quite a show! There is a big chance that it may take two or three years before your Hoya will show its most prized possession but oh, oh the delight when you first find these pretty flowers nestled in between the leaves.

Chiseled chest. Hips of a god. Rhythm of the Devil - Ricardo will make any woman’s knees weak and a few men uncomfortably intrigued. Ricardo rolls his “r”s like the ocean rolls in tides and he stops to dance only until the sun has come up. Ricardo’s from a tropical part of the world with a name you can never properly pronounce. Legend has it he learnt to salsa before he learnt to walk and his first word was “Olé!” Ricardo's roots are in South America, but caramba! He will do just fine in any Canadian household! He's a beautiful Spathiphyllum (we know, its a jaw breaker), and more commonly referred to as the Peace Lily Domino. We're guessing Ricardo's got his domino name because of his cute freckles but it might also be because he runs a secret high stakes gambling ring together with Mojo. In any case, Ricardo doesn't need much from you, just some water from time to time. He'll tell you when by dropping his leaves. It's a bit of a drama move, but so befitting Ricardo! 15 40 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every three years In summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peace-lily-domino-spathiphyllum-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/DominoSpathPeaceLily6inpot.png?v=1609956118 4857054167122 Malorie Malorie doesn’t take crap from anybody, she’s a high powered lawyer who will sue your ass if you even look at her funny. Malorie grew up in a difficult household so she’s no stranger to hard times and literally climbed out of poverty through sheer will. Malorie’s area of practice is divorce, her father left her mother with nothing and skipped town - she never forgot it. So now she makes sure all her clients get as much as they can get. Such a trailblazer! The variegated Ivy is originally from the Canary Islands and the Atlantic coasts of northern Africa. This hardy plant is excels at trailing in difficult areas due to it being a vigorous grower. Give this lady a shed and she'll can cover that unsightly thing in no-time. Although she's popular in garden beds and on patios, Malorie will do just fine indoors, too! The Marengo Ivy is not fussy about conditions, she is okay with a bright spot or even part shade. She has no real soil requirements and watering care need not be pedantic. Easy! 10 18 Fairly little Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Toxic Every other year Fertilize monthly in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hedera-helix-s-variegated-ivy http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/HederaIvyHelixVariegated4inpot.png?v=1609955873 6870887432274 Chuck Chuck is a popular guy and we can tell why. His leaves are adorable. On his home 'turf' (hehe) in South-America you'll find him creeping and crawling on the jungle floor. You see, Chuck here likes to get down and dirty in the shaded areas of the forest. He doesn't mind if bigger plant baddies grow all over him. Chuck loves the shade and will gladly take the protection others plants give. So if you're looking for a spot for chuck to shine, a shaded spot works best. Chuck is the sweet baby brother we all want to have. Isabella, Julia and Donna look after Chuck and they keep him out of trouble. Chuck has a rebellious streak but he has always been kind to his big sisters. To him, his sisters are the coolest kids on the block and he'd like nothing else but to stay close to them when you bring him home. Will you be nice and take one of his sisters home, too? 10 30 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright, Indirect Not toxic Once every 2 years Every 2 weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-freddie-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Calathea-Freddie-4in_greenboule.png?v=1653691724 4664887181394 Donna She's a Stromanthe Triostar but listens to the name 'Donna'. Her beautiful striking green, cream white and pink leaves fit her perfectly. She has such a colorful personality. Frankly, the more we get to know her the more we realize she's kind of a hippie. Don't let her looks fool you, she'd love to be protesting the war and light a blunt. 'Make love, not war dude.' If you thought all we had was green, think again! The Calathea Triostar has wonderfully pink and creamy white leaves and yes that is amazing. But what is even more amazing is the fact that she closes those leaves at night! You may have to get used to the rustle! Donna loves the light but keep her away from direct sunlight.

Although you may know her from her days of adventuring across the land with her pals Boots and Backpack, this green amiga has really blossomed into her own. Not only is she the founder and CEO of her own travel agency, but she’s also an internationally recognized author and podcast host. Go figure! And while a lot has changed since her days of catching Swiper redhanded… She's still just a plant who wears her heart on her sleeve. Want to learn more about how to keep her thriving? Come on, vamonos! The Anthurium Clarinervium plant is truly one of a kind. Its heart shaped leaves and tolerance to medium, indirect light make it one of the trendiest tropical plants to keep in your home. Originally found in Mexico, this unique aroid prefers moist soil and high humidity of at least 50% (or even greater, if possible)! As most plants of this variety, the Anthurium Clarinervium can be susceptible to root rot and yellowing leaves, if overwatered. To prevent this from happening, ensure your potting soil is well draining and cut back on watering once the growing season comes to a close (fall/winter). And one more thing - this houseplant can be mildly toxic if ingested; so keep your fluffy pals well away! 10 17 Moderate Strong Bright indirect light Toxic Every 2-3 years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/anthurium-clarinervium-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/AnthuriumClarinervium4inpot.png?v=1643241791 4569088917586 Al *Note: Pilea cadierei come in assorted varieties and may be slightly different from the pictured plant. Al does shift work at the smelter up in Kitimat. Its tough work but he's good at it. Al is a Pilea Cadierei or an Aluminum Plant. Its when work is done for the day and Al gets home, that his easy going nature and simple tastes shine through. Al likes the simple things in life - home baked bread, craft beer by the growler and lazy days spent in a hammock. You 'da Man Al, you 'da Man! Al really is an easy to please kind of plant. He is not fussy about much and when he is happy he will grow and grow quite quickly. Keep Al in a moderately bright spot but not in direct sunlight. Water him frequently especially in the Spring and Summer. If you want Al to grow full and bushy a good pruning every spring is essential as is re-potting.  10 18 Regular Low air purifying Bright, indirect light Non-toxic Every 2 years Once a month https://plantsome.ca/products/pilea-cadieri-aluminum-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PileaCadiereiAluminumPlant4inpot.png?v=1609956226 4644608409682 Pink Pink always wants to go for drinks and party hard. Weekends or workdays, it don't matter much to her! And she doesn't discriminate either. You'll find her in underground dance clubs one day and an upscale jazz bar the next. She tends to bring an entourage of Calathea sisters everywhere she goes that is sure to draw a crowd. So if you're thinking of bringing her home, be prepared to meet her sisters too! The Calathea Ornata, as striking as its sister Calatheas, has a unique feature setting it apart: pink leaves! But don't be fooled, it is hard work getting it to put those big beautiful leaves out. Just like any rock star there is a list of demands: a bright spot, no direct sunlight, regular misting of the leaves, fertilizer in summer and a little bit of water at just the right time! Fortunately this plant is a great communicator and will furl up its leaves to let you know when if it's not getting enough moisture. 15 33 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-ornata-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Calatheaunkown2boule.png?v=1609955511 4564110868562 Wendy So you think you can dance?

Wendy really puts the 'sun' in Sunday with her love of sunshine and light. She's low maintenance while still being the star of the show on your south-facing window sill. Such a bright gal! Wendy is real popular in South Africa where she grows in abundance. Wendy is a hardcore succulent, which means she has a badass superpower: she. is. TOUGH. Forgot to water her for a few weeks? Wendy shrugs it off like its no big deal. Accidentally put her in the fridge? No biggie. Left her at the tanning salon? She can handle it. Wendy is a roommate that will never ask you to turn the music down or warn you that you're eating too many carbs.

Fleeing you ask? Yes because Aku Aku actually gets cooked and eaten in Borneo, which is a pretty legit reason to leave your home. Aku Aku will settle in just fine here, as long as you give him enough water and place him away from direct sunlight. Aku Aku is a special dude. You'll see that when you look at his leaves and stems. You'd almost say he's a cross between a zebra and an elephant. His official name is Alocasia Zebrina but some refer to him as Elephant's Ear. Aku Aku is unique in the way that the attention is always on him. In the Jungle this plant is often used as an umbrella. You'll find animals and even people huddling up together to take refuge from torrential jungle rain. Should you get a leak in the house you know what to do!

Luke is your ideal companion for any room, always up for a good time and low-maintenance to boot. With his slow growth and easygoing nature, he's the friend everyone wants.

Some have luck, some have Luke! Meet the ZZ plant, a stylish and resilient green companion that effortlessly blends fashion and personality into your space. When it comes to light, this charmer thrives in medium to low indirect light, making him a versatile choice for almost any room! Just remember, he prefers to steer clear of direct sunlight, as it's a bit too harsh for his taste. As for watering, the Zamioculcas is like a desert-dwelling maverick in disguise. Give him some room to breathe and let the top 2-3 inches of his soil dry out before you quench his thirst – he's all about sips, not soaks. Whether you're a newbie in the plant world or a seasoned enthusiast, the easy-going ZZ is the perfect fit for your indoor jungle. Other plants might envy his low-maintenance charm, but he's just too cool to mind! 21 55 Infrequent Low air purifier Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/zamioculcas-l-zz-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/zamioculcasLfranco.png?v=1604435109 7087056289874 Clifford Clifford the Philodendron is ready to be adopted and be your new best friend. He's house trained and all he needs is some water, light, and occasional plant food. If you give him all the love and TLC, he’ll grow, grow, grow! Who knows how big he’ll get! The Philodendron Red Sun is a unique cultivar of the Philodendron plant, known for its striking red foliage. Its leaves start off a bright red color and gradually turn to a deep green as they mature. The plant also has a compact growth habit and can be grown as a trailing or climbing plant. Unlike some other Philodendron varieties, the Red Sun is relatively compact and stays relatively small, making it an ideal choice for smaller indoor spaces. Additionally, like other Philodendrons, the Red Sun is a relatively easy-to-care-for plant that can adapt to a variety of light and humidity conditions.   10 17 Infrequent Strong air purifying Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every 2 years Every two weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-red-sun-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/philodendron-red-sun-4in_blackclaude.png?v=1679357715 4643188179026 Beau Ponytail palm's are actually not part of the palm family. It's why Beau has always felt a little out of place. When everyone looks right, Beau looks left if you know what I mean. The Beaucarnea Recurvata or Elephant's Foot is actually part of the succulent family. You see, Beau is blessed with the unique ability to store access water in his stem for later use. Nice! Introducing the Ponytail Palm, the conversation starter of your plant collection. This quirky plant, native to Mexico, might have you wondering if he needs a haircut, but those cascading fronds are all part of his *vibe* (since he decided his manbun was so 2019). Fun fact: despite the name, he's not a true palm at all! The Ponytail Palm is more like a botanical hipster, sporting a unique look that stands out in any crowd. As for care, he's on more of an independent journey. Place your Ponytail Palm in a sunny spot, and water sparingly – he's a drought-tolerant gem.

'Nephros' is Greek for Kidney and 'Lepsis' translates to 'scale'. The Greek refer to the scale of this plant that have a 'kidney like' shape to them. It takes a bit of fantasy, we agree but it makes for a good story. Carl is a thirsty dude so be sure to water him plenty of time. Carl is not poisonous and doesn't need any plant food. The Plantsome app will help with his watering needs. Easy! Carl is the ultimate green houseplant. He has a full head of bright green leaves and easy to maintain. Easy to take care of and great at purifying the air, too. Another mouthful, his real name is Nephrolepsis but he's often called the Boston Fern.

He's the epitome of modern chic in the plant world. Jack effortlessly elevates any room he graces, and we should know because we've got Jack in the office, and we're head over heels for him. Jack hails from the lush rainforests of South-East Asia, and he's quite the traveler. He recently regaled us with tales of backpacking adventures through Thailand, Malaysia, and India. And if that's not enough, last year he was spotted gallivanting around South America! Jack is sure to add some worldly sophistication to your space, just be prepared to hear the tales of his travels more than once (yeah... he’s that guy). Introducing the Ficus Elastica Burgundy, also known as a Rubber Tree. With his stunning tall leaves in a deep, burgundy hue, this guy is always #trending. To keep his style (and yours) in check, ensure he basks in bright, indirect light. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks, and consider giving your Rubber Tree a gentle misting every now and then to keep his leaves looking chic. Your space will be the talk of the town when you keep this guy around! 15 35 Average Strong air purifying Bright, indirect light Mildly Toxic Every 3 years Once a month (spring & summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/ficus-elastica-burgundy-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Ficuselasticaburgundy6inellisv2.png?v=1586538414 4527654568018 Cranerys We hear ya: Strelitzie Nicolai sounds like people dressed as scientists for toothpaste ads. If so, you might dig this plant’s name in regular parlance: Bird of Paradise, or Crane Flower. Now, that’s a damn good superhero name! The nicknames come from two pretty neat design features: the plant looks like a birds head when it’s blossoming, and the flowers resemble feathers on a crane’s head (the bird, not the machine). Aside from its noble roots (ha), the Strelitzia is actually pretty down to earth (somebody’s on a streak today!) and easy to please. She is not fussy about her watering needs, as long as you don't overdo it. Just like climate change, though, sunburn is a real thing: if you leave your Strelitzia exposed to direct sunlight, it will suffer more than that time you tried a DIY wax job during the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Instead, use indirect light, all year-round, and avoid temperatures below 10°C. Oh and a final, friendly advice: this plant is considered mildly toxic for cats, dogs and people. So, if your household has pets, children, adults on a plant-based diet or all of the above...you might want to get rid of them first! 25 85 Frequent Moderately air purifying Bright spot near a window Slightly toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/strelitzia-nicolai-bird-of-paradise-xl http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Strelitzia_on_neptune.png?v=1623530266 4941134954578 Dwayne Nobody messes with Dwayne - and wen mean nobody! All the other green amigos cower when Dwayne sits on their (ahum..HIS) shelf. Dwayne may be a small plant but what he lacks in size he makes up for in raw strength, insane physique and acting chops. Dwayne is unpredictable, he may give you a bright smile and before you know it he’s coming through with a chair! But don't worry, at home Dwayne is a real family man and always a crowd’s favourite! We love you Dwayne! The Polystichum tsus-simense, known to some as “The Korean Rock Fern” boasts glossy green fronds, black stems, and a pinnae that’s oblong and spiny-toothed. In other words Dwayne looks freakin perfect. Keep him inside and he'll stay fresh as a daisy, lush through the seasons but put don't hesitate to put your Rock Fern outside in spring and summer. As long as your garden/patio isn’t too wet or…stone cold! 10 17 Frequent Low Medium to low light Toxic Every 1-2 years Once a month during Spring & Summer https://plantsome.ca/products/polystichum-tsus-simense-korean-rock-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/RockFern4inpot.png?v=1611611336 6838647259218 Hopper Hopper is a big fan of all kinds of hip hop.

Well, he won't say no if someone puts on California Love, but he'd prefer to listen to that one about his friend Jeremiah, he was a bullfrog (if you didn't know). Peperomia Angulata or Peperomia Funky Frog is one of the toughest Peperomias out there, making it the perfect easy care plant! The brightly striped, green leaves of this tropical houseplant prefer bright, indirect light but are tolerant of low light. They are great in hanging pots because the stems will start to trail. If the trailing stems get too long, prune them for propagation! 10 14 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-angulata-funky-frog-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Peperomia-Funky-Frog-4in_blackboule.png?v=1648079168 7126925443154 Samwise Gentle, strong, and loyal to a fault—that pretty much sums up this potato-loving amigo. Although Samwise is most content in the gardens of the Shire, he would walk to the ends of Middle Earth for a friend in need. He is the unsung hero of our tale, but that’s just how he likes it. Too much attention may go to Samwise’s head, and we know what happens then, eh Mr. Frodo? The Syngonium  P odophyllum  is  also referred to as the Arrowhead Plant due to the spade shaped foliage. This  is a tropical houseplant well suited for all indirect lighting conditions .

She’s still fond of viewing the occasional vlog, but seeing feet on camera will trigger her fight or flight response. Being a child actress can be hard! Not only does she have to put up with constantly being made into a meme, but people expect her to still be America’s sweetheart. No, she’s not Michael Jackson, and yes, she actually does cuss a little. The Maranta Amagris is a Prayer Plant featuring light green leaves, colourful undersides, and fishbone-like markings. This tropical houseplant prefers medium to bright indirect light, and a whole ton of humidity. Be sure to give her a drink once 2 inches of her soil dries out, and allow the excess water to drain!

We've seen a bunch of girls looking in awe at those amazing locks of green. Did you know that those leaves will grow from the crown outward when a new leaf emerges? The Asplenium Crispy Wave Fern always has a big and full set of leaves because of it. His passport may say Asplenium Nidus but to friends he'll always be known as Mowgli. He does have a tendency to disappear into the jungle for a few days, but we've talked to him about it and he promised to stay put from now on. The Asplenium or Birds Nest Fern is a plant that doesn't like to be in the spotlight and would rather be in the shade. Just because he's hiding doesn't mean Mowgli doesn't love you! He'll shower you with fresh oxygen from his corner of the room as a token of his appreciation.

Veronica is no stranger to the tropical beaches of Hawaii nor the fruity cocktails you’d drink there. She demands that we address her as “your royal pine-ness” and simply will not answer to anything less. Don’t let her prickly exterior fool you though… This green amigo is as soft and sweet as it gets (deep, deeeep down inside). Veronica is a fierce, independent queen who comes with just a few simple requests: lots of bright light, moist soil, and the occasional (aperol) spritz! Tropical vibes on this one! Pineapple plants are a member of the Bromeliad family, a family of plants native to the tropical Americas. Their sword-like leaves collect and funnel water to her roots - which subsequently allows for the growth of one flower stalk, followed by a ripe, juicy fruit! Studies have shown that Pineapple Plants are quite the air filter champs. But wait, there's more! In the right conditions this green amigo also provides a tasty treat! 10 25 Frequent Low Direct Not Toxic Every 1-2 years None https://plantsome.ca/products/pineapple-plant-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PineapplePlant5inpot.png?v=1634845917 4651716149330 Susie Susie drinks her coffee like a connoisseur! Two shots of espresso, extra hot, with a dash of foamed milk (non skim of course). When we told Gino about Susie's affection for the Java his eyes lit up! He hasn't stopped asking us if we can move him to a shelf closer to Susie. Should we do it? Calathea's are beautiful plants that come in all shapes and sizes.  Sometimes even we are surprised! This Calathea Misto wasn't known to us until she knocked on our door but boy are we happy to welcome Susie to the party. Susie isn't as colourful as some of her sisters but she makes up for it with beautiful big leaves that never seem to stop growing. A calathea worth loving! 10 30 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-misto-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/mistotusca.png?v=1609955500 6862448951378 Shanelle Talk about some deep roots on this one. The Caerulea Passion Flower plants was kept in gardens centuries ago in Aztec communities. The Passionflower plant has flowers that last for months at a time. It's an easy going plant that can resist fairly harsh winter conditions and various soil types. The beautiful blooms attract bees and butterflies, which at this point is just a really nice bonus. A must-have plant in the garden! There are over 600 different varieties of passion flower plants and while some are said to have medicinal benefits such as treatment against insomnia, they are most popular because they are easy to grow, winter hardy up to -20 degrees celsius and thrive in a variety of light conditions and soils. The beautiful flowers can last for many months and attract insects and butterflies. Be sure to water your passion flower plant infrequently but thoroughly on every occasion and hold back with the fertilizer, this beauty doesn't need much of it at all. Grow the plant potted or planted straight into your garden. Passion flower plants are vining and climbing so be sure to give it something to climb onto. 21 40 https://plantsome.ca/products/passiflora-caerulea-passion-flower-blue-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/passion-flower-blue-lifestyle-2.jpg?v=1687195141 6580778565714 Phoenix Phoenix is beautiful in every sense of the word - not just looks but also her mind, her personality and that award winning smile. We’ve all encountered a Phoenix before, sometimes they’re known as a “radiator” because they simply radiate warmth and good vibes. Her constant good mood sometimes annoys her brother Pablo but it’s difficult to stay mad at Phoenix for long. Phoenix is the plant everybody wants to be or have - the very fire of life itself. The Peperomia is traditionally found in the rainforests of Brazil, meaning that in the home they would be best suited to similar conditions - humid with high temperatures. Because of the thick canopy of trees in rainforests that block the light, Peperomia would not enjoy direct sunlight. Try not to overwater and a sign that you messed it up would be black stems and lowering of leaves. So repeat after me: moist not soggy soil please! Moist not soggy! 10 18 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-obtusifolia-rainbow-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/RainbowPeperomiaObtusifolia4inpot.png?v=1619062493 4753583636562 Phil Phil’s your typical nice guy. Doesn’t rock the boat. Even if he was caught in a canoe in the middle of a tsunami. He always lets people merge on the highway and carries around a personalised flask that reads “Phlask”. He’s in work at 8:59am - no later - and never turns down working over time because “it’s a team effort”. Phil has the same thing for lunch, a cheese and ham sandwich, an apple and water. He might put a little mayo in there if he’s feeling daring. Phil’s never been great at relationships, they always end up leaving him for more exciting guys. Somebody needs to tell Phil that a first date to a pigeon gallery isn’t exactly anybody's idea of thrilling. Can you just sit down with him please? This Philodendron is somewhat unique. With its leaves shaped like swords or knives. They grow best in medium light, though if this is not possible then lower light levels will suffice. All in all, a pretty easy plant to take care of, that is if you water it correctly (when soil is dry) and fertilize around once a month during the spring and summer growing season. Can you handle that? Of course you can! 10 32 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-silver-sword-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/SilverPhilodendron4inpot.png?v=1598392718 4623561130066 Heidi Heidi’s got a penchant for spinning outlandish tales—like that time she insisted she was heading to the moon just because she saw her name in a NASA article. Heidi was listed as an air purifying plant, and she absolutely let that go to her head. We can’t fault her for being confident though, right? With her eccentric charm and playful antics, she's sure to bring a daily dose of whimsy to your space. Don’t get hasty, get Heidi! Make room for your new Ficus Tineke! With her big variegated leaves, she thrives in bright, indirect light, which really brings out her vibrant personality... I mean, colours. She's not one to shy away from a little attention – a light misting now and then keeps her feeling fabulous. And while she’s not a total diva, she does like a good drink of water when the top inch of soil is dry. With a mix of colorful character and a touch of air-purifying prowess, this Rubber Tree radiates the perfect balance of attitude and elegance.   15 29 Average Strong air purifying Bright, indirect light Mildly Toxic Every 3 years Once a month (spring & summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/copy-of-ficus-rubber-tineke-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Ficustineke6inwebcoco.png?v=1589583954 4524304662610 Pablo Our Brazillian Pablo is a real chill dude who doesn't require a lot of attention. He is kind to pets and will clean your air every day. The Preperomia Orbs is the perfect pet companion! Woof! The Brazillian Pablo is a real lover of life. He is easily satisfied, a real minimalist we should say. This also makes him a perfect gift. With Pablo you can't really go wrong. His succulently thick and bright green colored leaves will spruce up your home like nothing else. In Brazil, the Peperomia plant is known to be gifted as a sign that 'everything will be alright'. What a great mantra to live by. 10 16 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-orba-astrid-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/miniAstridPeperomiawebpot.png?v=1609956130 6538785226834 Oscar Oscar’s a grouch. His hobbies are spreading misery, taking naps, and glaring at you through his fronds. Though he’d prefer living in a trash can or mounted to a board (its a thing), he’ll be dissatisfied no matter where you put him. And don’t try to build a relationship with him because he doesn’t want friends but don’t leave him alone because he needs someone to listen to him complain. And don’t bring your pets around him (because he hates your pets) but don’t refuse him a pet of his own. And don’t compliment him but don’t let him forget how much better he is than everyone else. And whatever you do, also consider not doing it. Oscar is a unique plant, with branching leaves that spread out like antlers from their base. His fronds look stunning over the side of a hanging basket, and eclectic when mounted to a board with a piece of sphagnum moss. A lover of trash, Oscar still likes to be bathed for 10-20 minutes when his moss dries and to have his fronds misted while he gripes about all your friends. 15 45 Frequent Strong air purifier Indirect light Pet friendly Once every two years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/platycerium-staghorn-fern-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/StaghornFern6inpot.png?v=1614549835 7057453842514 Vlad Vlad is as tough as tough can get. Where he’s from, conflict is around every corner. He never feels the cold. The only thing he ever takes at room temperature are the lives of his enemies! Vlad doesn’t care for smiling, the only time he smiles is when babies are born and his enemies die. Vlad was raised to believe that a hard life was an accomplished life, if anything is too easy he won’t do it. This is why he hunts and cooks his meals himself and whenever he passes a supermarket he makes it a point to scowl at the cashiers. The Ctenanthe Burle Marx are fantastic prayer plants that are best suited for rooms without too much sunlight. Because they are evergreen plants, you’ll be happy to know that their leaves will be on display all through the year. If you’re impatient, this may not be the plant for you as vlad is slow growing (and fast tempered) but lucky for you, Vlad's done incredibly well on his journey to being the impressive prayer plant he strives to be. Be careful though, Vlad likes to drink! Constant watering is needed, even in winter times, so keep soil consistently moist. It makes Vlad glad.    10 20 Moderate Strong air purifier Shaded or Indirect light Not toxic Once every two years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/ctenanthe-burle-marx-prayer-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/ctenanthe-burle-marx-4in-pink-freya.png?v=1674676281 4806685655122 Javier The story of Javier is fraught with mystery and myth. Some say he came from an alien planet and crash landed in a giant burrito spaceship. It kind of makes sense if you think about it for a second, because the origin of the Burrito as a food is also a mystery. So consider it solved...the burrito is alien food! Javier's favourite is the Breakfast burrito. Hmmm NomNomNom! It is true that this Sedum Morganianum has never been spotted in the wild so its still a real mystery where this funny looking fella is actually from. But you obviously didn't come for the mystique, so let us tell you about how easy it is to care for this otherworldly stranger. Sedum plants are super easy to care for. They store water in their succulent leaves which means this burrito boy doesn't mind your forgetful watering habits. Keep yours away from direct sunlight as that will burn the leaves to a crisp and water occasionally when the top soil has dried out. 10 14 Little Low air purifying Bright, indirect sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/sedum-morganianum-string-of-burritos-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Burrito_sTail4inpot.png?v=1619064348 7142043648082 Gloria If you're looking for a plant that's got a hint of mystery, a whole lot of charm, say hello to Gloria. Just don't be surprised if you end up singing "G-L-O-R-I-A" whenever you walk by - she's got that effect on people! She's got a phonebook full of admirers, but don't be fooled by her popularity - she's a plant who plays hard to get. If you're thinking of giving her a call, be prepared to leave a message because Gloria's got better things to do than picking up calls all day long. See ya! The Philodendron Gloriosum is a rare indoor plant, but easy to care for. It's coveted by many collectors for its striking velvety shimmering foliage. Leaves can grow to over 30 inches long under ideal conditions. Philodendron Gloriosum plants thrive in a variety of lighting conditions, but direct sun should be avoided. Wait to water until the soil feels fully dry to the touch. 10 15 Infrequent Strong air purifying Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every 2 years Every two weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-gloriosum-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/Philodendron-Gloriosum-4in_franco.png?v=1692123515 4421693898834 Lilly Lilly has an exotic figure. When she works out she purifies the air for you so it's a win for Lilly and a win for you. Her air purifying qualities come mostly from the size of her leaves. She loves to produce oxygen with it but they also work to extract harmful substances from the air. In return for all this magic she does require some love and attention. You can have years of fun with Lilly just be sure to give her enough water and sunlight. Lilly's roots are in South America, but she will do just fine in any Canadian household. She is a beautiful Spathiphyllum, and more commonly referred to as the Peace Lily. We think it is because of her beautiful and peaceful white flowers. Or maybe it's cause she was the most well-behaved character in that series, Sex and The Lily.Current crop of Peace Lilies may not have flowers upon delivery 21 60 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic Once every three years In summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peace-lily-spathiphyllum http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PeaceLily8inpot.png?v=1631826466 7166046437458 Chanel Chanel’s a certified bombshell. We’re talking Hollywood type beauty. Leading lady looks. She’s the kind of plant that turns heads in the room and keeps them turned. It’s not just her immaculate looks, it’s the air of elegance she carries too. Sure, she’d rock your world but she’d also clean it up too. Nobody’s the same after they’ve had a Chanel. You don’t even get a Chanel. A Chanel gets you. Do we even have to mention her full red lips? God created the world in 7 days...but he spent 8 on her. Because of the gorgeous way that Lipstick plants bloom, the flowers coming out of the bud make it undeniably similar to the tube of a lipstick. Anybody seeking a flower that will become a talking point should definitely pick up a Chanel. Too much watering can absolutely ravish a Chanel so be mindful not to soak the soil. These plants do need bright light (plus camera and action) but not all day long as their leaves can get scorched from too much sun. Place yours away from the window sill where it gets a few hours of sun for the best results. 10 20 Moderate Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/aeschynanthus-lipstick-mira-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/LipstickMira4inwebpot.png?v=1696026954 4856850776146 Frida She’s breathtaking! Because the white and pink stripes on their leaves look like brush strokes, Calathea White Stars are often compared to paintings. Bringing Frida home is a bit like having a living work of art—and Frida knows a little something about art. She aims to paint the most important, and tragic, events in her life as a plant: “Rootbound”, “Self Portrait of Me Being Overwatered”, and “Me and My Owner, Who Knows Exactly What They Did.” Calathea Vittata are low light plants, which makes them perfect for indoor growing in those less than ideal plant corners of your room. As for Frida, she expects to be treated with kindness and respect. She likes high humidity, having her leaves misted, and getting watered just enough for her soil to be moist at all times. Too much water will lead to root rot and Frida does not like wet feet, or any feet for that matter! 10 16 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/copy-of-calathea-white-star-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaWhitestar4inpot.png?v=1609955534 4573571252306 Abby A real BFF to her cousin Sophia Jr., Abby decided to be a ballerina when she was young, and made good on that promise. For that reason you can notice her leaves perform a slow dance during the day and rise at night! So, if Abby looks a bit different every time you look at her, it's not your head playing with you. Abby here is actually a plant with fame! You see, she was awarded the  Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It was a long time ago but she showed us the medal and we were honestly quite impressed. She doesn't like to talk about it, though. The acceptance speech and being in the spotlight was kinda nerve wrecking you know. She prefers to be alone chilling with a book, near a North or East facing window. She's just fine being left alone like that. But please - filtered light only and high humidity! Oh and no drafts please. So Temperamental Abby! 10 25 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-zebrina-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Newzebrina4intusca.png?v=1609955536 4561389125714 Pablo Pablo, oh Pablo. This variegated amigo hails all the way from Brazil where he's known far and wide for charming the stalks off all the lady plants (and a few gentlemen, too). He's easy going, pet friendly, and also a Gemini. Do with this what you will and happy planting! In Brazil, the Peperomia plant is known to be gifted as a sign that 'everything will be alright'. What a great mantra to live by, don't you think? The Obtusifolia plants have fleshy leaves that almost look succulent-like. These ones in particular are of the variegated kind so if spots and stripes of yellow mixed in with greens are your thing, go for a Pablo! 15 27 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-obtusifolia-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PepwithEllis.png?v=1614819402 7372948734034 Tucker Meet our new easy going green amigo: Tucker! A plant of little needs, Tucker mostly keeps to himself, although he is known for getting emotional during the National Anthem, he even knows the words off by heart. He told us he has a full scale version of the flag that he keeps tucked away between his leaves and only brings out for National Holidays. He keeps it perfectly folded thanks to a flag-folding tutorial that he found online. Tucker believes in freedom of speech...but only if you’re saying things that he’s okay with hearing. Okay so you wanted something kinda big, something kinda beautiful, but without the hassle of having to care for it all the time? Meet the wonderful Cast Iron Plant! This tropical houseplant will thrive no-matter-what. Aspidistra plants, as these are called are impressively tough plants. Go ahead and take a long vacation, or simply ignore it for a few weeks. Cast Iron plant's are very drought tolerant and can maintain in almost any low light condition as long as there is some natural light present. Just give it a nice spot with indirect light (no direct rays for this fella), and water occasionally, letting the excess moisture drip away. We love a low-maintenance amigo. 10 27 Low to Moderate Strong air purifier Anything but direct sunlight Non-toxic Every 3-4 years Every 2-3 months https://plantsome.ca/products/aspidistra-cast-iron-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/cast-iron-4in_freya.png?v=1721952553 4694807773266 Gus Gus is your gateway plant to plant parenthood. If that's too technical: Gus is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Gus and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Gus, such a low maintenance guy. Gus also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Gus does not need any plant food. Gosh Gus, what's not to like here? The Sansevieria is also known as the snake plant. To be honest, we don't get it. Snakes can't stand up, while Gus can. Snakes throw hissy fits, and Gus is as chill as a cucumber. Snakes crawl, and Gus doesn't crawl. Snakes always show up on planes, and Gus hates planes. All slithering aside, the snake plant is also called a 'mother in law's tongue' because of how sharp the tips of their leaves are. Get it? Get it?! Anyway, this African plant is truly one of the easiest to maintain, which makes Gus really popular. us purifies your air but be careful with Fifi and Felix (pets)... this snake has some poisonoussss juiccccce. 10 15 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-zeylanica-snake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/SnakeZeylanica4inpot.png?v=1609956377 4687865643090 Eloa For Eloa, Carnival happens almost every day! This Brazilian beauty knows how to brag and honestly, who wouldn't? Those bright orange flowers and Samba moves make everyone go crazy. But hey, easy tiger! Eloa also plays hard to get and likes to hang out near the clouds. After all, she is a true rainforest goddess and should be treated like one! The Nemanthus is famous for its charming looks. In the summer, Eloa puts her Carnival costume on and produces goldfish-like flowers, making her the centre of the universe. This tropical cascading plant loves water and plenty of indirect sunlight. Treat her well and she might even reward you with flowers year-around. Her ideal date? A picnic on the beach, under the shade of a palapa, drinks and some Bossa nova playing in the background ;) Eloa has many different looks, her variety is growers choice and based on inventory! 15 26 Average Low air purifier Indirect light Safe for pets!

We like plant Abab much better, with his glossy green leaves and distinctive fenestrations (a fancy word for holes). But if Abab got his way we’d ship him off to New York and put him in a corner office with a bunch of traders and brokers shouting “Sell, sell, sell!” and hurling insults that would make even some presidents blush. There’s now a rumour going around the Plantsome office that he once tried to sell cuttings of his bigger brother Alfredo. The fact that Eileen outed him is Abab’s deepest regret, that and not being planted before bitcoin was a thing. The Monkey Mask, a charming member of the Monstera plant family, flaunts its drooping, heart-shaped leaves - a true heartthrob in the plant world. These beauties can grow swiftly when pampered properly, proving that slow and steady doesn't always win the race. You might spot Adansonii's like this cheeky fellow flourishing in South and Central America and the West Indies, although he never quite clicked with his Monstera siblings. But here's the one thing they all agreed on – just like good gossip, indirect light is where it's at! Oh, and as for watering, this guy prefers a 'less is more' approach. So, while it's tempting to flood him with attention, remember that he's more of a 'sip, don't chug' kind of plant. Keep that soil moderately moist, and you'll stay on your Monkey Mask's good side! 21 42 Average Strong air purifying Shade Toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/monstera-adansonii http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/MonsteraAdansonii8inpot.png?v=1645332965 6580694253650 Shania Shania is the kind of legend that only comes around once in a century. This rare lady should be cherished. She ain’t shy though, she wants what she wants and won’t stop as long as she’s alive. Will outshine the others- literally, with her silver coat. Her name Bagina translates to ‘King’ or ‘Majesty’ in Bahasa and she lives up to her name with her commanding presence. In the winter season you'll find her at her vacation homes in The Bahamas, Switzerland or Las Vegas but when summer comes around, she is ready to drop another fire album and sprout new leaves. Ho-ly-mother of leaves! Alocasia Silver Dragon are a rare species of Alocasia and you can see why!

The way you tend to your plants with such care and attention is something to be admired. You have a certain energy that radiates through the foliage and draws me in. I can't resist the urge to learn more about your botanical passions. I know it might seem strange, but I have this gut feeling that our love for plants could bring us together. I'll do whatever it takes to nurture our connection, even if it means getting my hands a little dirty along the way. But don't worry, I'll still let you keep your other plants thriving and healthy. The beautiful and rare Philodendron Ring of Fire is an extraordinary and highly coveted houseplant renowned for its beauty. This tropical plant in well-lit areas, ensure the top layer of soil is dry before the next watering.

She also may be listening in on all your conversations, but whatever you do, don’t try to take out her microchip. Ava doesn’t like that. Philodendron Mamei Silver Cloud  is a striking tropical plant known for its large, heart-shaped silver-green leaves. This is a rare, easy to care for plant! Give your Silver Cloud bright, indirect light, and keep it away from cold windows. A humidity level between 60-80% is ideal, and you'll want to water it when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. As your plant grows, you may like to stick a moss pole in the soil for it to climb! You also may like to repot your plant every 2 years, as it is a fast grower but enjoys being slightly root-bound. Give it a well-draining soil suitable for aroids and you'll be good to go.   10 20 Average Strong air purifying Medium to bright indirect light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-mamei-giant-silver-shield-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/Philodendron-Silver-Cloud-4in_boule.png?v=1694474139 6574789427282 Jo, Flo & Mo Did you know that succulents are actually not a species of plant?

Which is just stellar. Heidi told us she was recruited to be part of the mission to the moon, but that sounds a lot like fairy tale to us. She showed us a picture - it looks photoshopped, so we won't show that here. We know: Heidi's gonna hate, but what can you do? Either way, air purifying is still a pretty cool superpower, and Heidi is the real deal. What are you waiting for? Don't get hasty, get Heidi! Heidi is a special Ficus. She looks so much bigger for her age! It must be those beautiful variegated leaves that she grows. Those colours really POP girl! Heidi is one of those plants that really loves to give back, providing you with amazing fresh living room air in return for a bit of H2-EAU.

She can close her leaves at night. Officially Julia is a Calathea Rufibarba but she sleeps like a rose. The size of her leaves also really make her a standout plant and she's good at purifying the air. Oh the diversity! If you love Julia but are looking for something a bit smaller, consider her smaller sister Sophia. Julia is one of our special Calathea sisters in the Plantsome family. A beautiful girl (ahum, lady) with breathtaking leaves that will close at night. Her big jagged and brightly painted leaves are stunning. Her leaves grow upright in a stunning spectrum of colours. Oh Julia... you deserve to be loved. 10 21 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-rufibarba-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaRufiebarba4inpot.png?v=1609955523 4733620191314 Carl This beautiful and special fern is originally from New Zealand and South-East Asia but his name is Greek. 'Nephros' is Greek for Kidney and 'Lepsis' translates to 'scale'. The Greek refer to the scale of this plant that have a 'kidney like' shape to them. It takes a bit of fantasy, we agree but it makes for a good story. Carl is a thirsty dude so be sure to water him plenty of time. Carl is not poisonous and doesn't need any plant food. The Plantsome app will help with his watering needs. Easy! Carl is the ultimate green houseplant. He has a full head of bright green leaves and he's still easy to maintain. Easy to take care of and great at purifying the air, too. Another mouthful, his real name is Nephrolepsis but he's often called the Boston Fern. Some say he studied at Harvard and got a degree in frond management. 25 55 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright but no direct sunlight Non-toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/nephrolepis-exaltata-boston-fern-xl-1 http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BostonFernXLBspecpot.png?v=1609955384 4571660255314 Leo Leo is like one of those characters you see in animated movies: strong and always looking on the bright side of things, but with a vulnerable side! Get ready to spend a lot of time watching palm d'or movies with Leo!. Make way for the Majesty Palm, here to steal the spotlight (move over Areca)! Like a true native of Madagascar, this palm craves sunlight and a good sip of water. Keep him basking in bright, indirect light, and use the Goldilocks rule for watering: not too wet, not too dry. Give your Majesty a little plant food during the growing season, and it'll keep the tropical vibes strong in your space. And here's a pro tip: the Majesty Palm loves a good misting now and then to keep his fronds feeling *fresh*. Plus, he's a pet-friendly superstar, so your furry friends can share the limelight with this majestic palm! 25 110 Frequent Strong air purifier Sunny, direct light Not toxic Every other year Once every three months https://plantsome.ca/products/majesty-palm-ravaena-rivularis http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Majestypalmwebneptune.png?v=1587574194 4586602430546 Kate Sigh! Remember back in grade 5, you were sitting in the back of the class and there was that girl in the second row, the one with two giant braids, mischievous eyes and rosy cheeks? You would sit there and dream about her all day long thinking you were going to get married and have kids and a dog and a house in the burbs... Well that girl is Kate and today she runs an ink shop down on the Drive. She is married to Lori and was elected to the Parks Board last year. We love Kate because she defies convention and makes sh*t happen. Go Kate!   What's not to love about a plant that has irresistible heart-shaped leaves? Kate is a vine so she can grow as a trailing/hanging plant or as a climbing plant depending on your tastes. Furthermore Kate is a jungle plant so she loves warm, humid environments and bright, filtered sun but no direct light - think of all of those jungle plants living under the shade of the giant jungle trees. If Kate's vines grow too long don't be afraid to trim them back, that will help her to fill out a little more.

NASA even rated him five stars for it! Bert will remove Benzenes, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air. Bert is quite thirsty but doesn't have a lot of demands beyond that. What a lovely guy. The Chlorophytum is also known as the spider plant, and is truly one of the easiest air cleaners for your house. We call him Easy Bert because he's so so easy to maintain! He likes the lighter, brighter spots in your home, but he'll do just fine in darker spots. Give this green amigo some water every week, but if you miss a watering sesh- no need to worry about being strangled by Bert. 10 22 Frequently - weekly Strong air purifying Bright, no direct sunlight non-toxic Once a year Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/spider-plant-chlorophytum-comosum-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/ChlorophytumComosumSpiderPlant4inpot.png?v=1609955865 4687983902802 Aura There's a dark air to Aura. Contrary to other species in her family (Epipremnum Aureum), Aura does not blossom due to a genetic bug no Ctrl+Alt+Del could solve. She is also considered a plague due to being nearly impossible to kill and staying green even when kept out of the light. Pretty much the lovechild of the Grinch with Bruce Willis in that Christmas movie. No wonder people also call her the Devil's Ivy. The dark side of the bloom (not to be confused with that Pink Floyd record your weird uncle told you about) never looked greener. And unlike your stoner uncle or the Gilmour-Troubled Waters relationship, this Neon Pothos has aged well: it's been around at least since 1880, which officially makes it older than knock-knock jokes. If you're looking for a pet that outlasts you, look no further: this Neon Pothos is what songs like "I will survive" are all about. It's blasé like Beyoncé. For care, provide bright, indirect light and water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. Or don’t. She’s not your boss. 15 28 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/neon-pothos-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/NeonPothosHanging6inpot.png?v=1609956280 4858268713042 James James is Plantsome's secret agent. He pulls off the most insane stunts in his watermelon suit. James is half-succulent which means he stores water in his leaves. It also means that James doesn't get upset when you forget to water him. And when you do give him his drink, shaken, not stirred! James is an absolute super hero at taking care of himself. He's so busy making the world a better place that he has no time to die. His air purifying skills are second to none and his pet friendliness provides a safe refuge for Fifi and Felix! You and James are going to form a really strong bond. 15 25 Frequent Strong air purifier Bright, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every three years Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/peperomia-argyreia-m-watermelon-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PeperomiaArgyreiaWatermelonPlant6inpot.png?v=1609956170 4732535832658 Marty Marty is Palm from Central America.

Marty's hobby really is cleaning the air and its dirty work so Marty will require some love and attention from you to keep doing what Marty does best! Introducing the Areca Palm, a native of Central America flaunting its stylish long fronds. It's no surprise this fella reigns supreme among the palms! Think of him as the Elvis Presley, the undisputed king of the palm world. To keep your Areca feeling like a king, place it in a sunny spot with some cool, filtered sunlight, and maintain that perfect balance in its soil – consistently moist but never waterlogged. Take care of your Areca, and your Areca will take care of you.

Talking about politics? He’s asleep. Complaining about your commute? He’s comatose. Droning on about the weather as if you didn’t know that winter happens every year? His funeral is at four. All Arthur wants is clean water, good lighting, and happy faces. So relax and have a good time, because every season is the season to be jolly when Arthur’s around.   Arthur may look good in your Christmas photo but he hails from the tropics. Think bright light and high humidity. Keep his soil evenly moist but don’t drown him. Keep him cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Swap his red nose and sparkly ornaments for a pair of shades and a floral t-shirt to emphasize his easy, breezy attitude. He loves it! 15 38 Regular Low air purifying Bright light Toxic Once every two to four years Once a month during spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/norfolk-island-pine-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/NorfolkIslandPine6inpot.png?v=1609956055 7131859058770 Rosie Rosie’s a bit sweet and a bit silly. She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed but that’s okay since she doesn’t have to do much thinking over on her windowsill. It’s a good thing she has someone so competent to take care of her, otherwise who knows what she’d get into? The Hoya Rosita is a cross between the Hoya wayetii and Hoya sangii, with vibrant pink and red foliage that becomes brighter the more light it gets. This plant will treat you with bright yellow and red flowers when conditions are just right! Place it in bright light for at least 6 hours a day and water thoroughly when the soil is almost completely dry. Like all Hoyas, the Rosita is pet friendly. 10 14 Moderate Strong air purifying South facing no direct sunlight Not toxic Not needed Once a month in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hoya-rosita-wax-plant-s-1 http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/hoya-rosita-4in_mina.png?v=1687825516 7119824781394 Li Xiu Li Xiu has one dream: to be dipped at the end of a tense, dramatic salsa dance in such a way that it solidifies the undying devotion between her and her dance partner. The dance floor should be clouded in mist and a burning spotlight should bathe Li Xiu and her partner in a yellow glow, highlighting the sweat glistening on her oranges. Everyone’s holding their breath. The judges score them a TEN out of TEN! They’ve never seen such a display of talent and passion. And, even though Li Xui is disqualified for being a tree, her performance lives on forever in the minds of spectators (as the reason many of them gave up alcohol). Some people glance suspiciously at their drinks on the way out. What a show! ornamental - not for consumption The Calamondin tree spreads joy, and a love of dance wherever it goes. Bushy leaves and striking white blossoms eventually turn into small, acidic oranges. The juice from these oranges is sour like a lime, and although it can be mixed with other fruits to make cold drinks or marmalade, the Calamondin Tree is often kept as an ornamental fruit-bearing plant. This plant prefers a well-lit space and requires at least a few hours of full sun every day. The Calamondin also loves high humidity and can be kept indoors or outside in spring and summer! Let the top layer of soil to dry out before it’s watered again - this beauty is more comfortable that way 13 40 Frequent Low air purifier Direct sunlight Toxic Once every two years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calamondin-orange-tree-m-5in http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/iStock-1360410392_141423b4-10a8-4489-add4-8c429183f235.jpg?v=1685126995 6661258870866 Lil Nas Lil Nas made big ripples in our greenhouse when he slid down our custom silver pole (everybody has one, it’s not weird), into his plot of soil and unfurled his dark, velvety leaves. We were all like, “Oh my god”, and he was like, “No. It’s me, Satan. Didn’t you hear?” And then he serenaded us in a pair of miniature leather boots. It was a beautiful experience and we’ve readjusted our pole so it goes the other way. See you all there. You may live in the dark, we cannot pretend, but that doesn’t mean Lil Nas should. In fact, Lil Nas is quite particular about all aspects of his care. He needs bright but indirect light and likes warm, humid areas and moist (but not wet, but not dry!) soil. Please wait for the top two inches of his soil to dry between waterings and don’t worry about the dancing. That’s part of the package. If you can't keep the humidity levels high enough, be sure to spray his leaves whenever you're not busy scrolling through your insta feed or doing other important work.

Yep you heard it, Eileen is instafamous. She loves bragging about how her gorgeous green leaves always get her a ton of likes. We have to admit she does look amazing. We understand you all adore her. Eileen is part of the famous Ficus family and she's not the only stunner in the fam. The Ficus plants have beautiful leaves. Some are big while some are small. We really love them all. Eileen is an air purifying plant but also slightly poisonous so don't get too close for a Fi-kiss! The Ficus Lyrata Bush is also known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig! Flourishing in bright, indirect light, it appreciates consistent watering, so keep the soil evenly moist without waterlogging, allowing the top inch to dry between waterings. While it demands a bit of attention, its stunning leaves and air-purifying abilities make the effort all the more rewarding! 25 75 Regular Strong air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic to pets Every 1-2 years Every time you water (except in winter) https://plantsome.ca/products/ficus-lyrata-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/FicusLyrataBush10inpot_03887645-821e-4be9-8053-a8062520151d.png?v=1696373104 4612610097234 Jude Jude is a bit of a board game geek. As he grew taller and taller he graduated from Snakes and Ladders to Gloomhaven and Pandemic. Though he hasn't touched that last one in a little while. Go figure! Sansevieria Ferwnood Mikado are native to Nigeria and the Congo region to be exact. These beautiful and playful spires are easy to care for. Bright or a bit darker spots of your home are equally fine for Jude.Be careful when watering this guy. The most common issue is too much TLC! Overwatering leads to root rot and Jude's eventual demise. Oh and don't buy this guy a new home every year. Repot only when his roots break his current pot.

She can sing, play the guitar, and if you tossed a kazoo to her, we’re sure she’d even be able to figure that out. Nancy loves her Plantsome family fiercely and will do anything to protect her tribe. Not to brag, but she’s even written songs about us—Siri, play “Alone”. Hemionis Arifolia are tender ferns with heart shaped leaves. Adorable to look at and pet friendly, too! As pretty as she looks, she's not for the faint at...heart. Some TLC is definitely required as ferns crave higher than average humidity levels, warmer room temperatures and prefer filtered water at room temperature. The Heart Fern also does really well in a vivarium or terrarium because of its tendency to thrive in high humidity environments. To increase the humidity you can add a pebble tray under its pot or keep it in your bathroom provided there is enough light. Ferns need only a little fertilizer, once a month is enough. 10 15 Frequent Moderate Bright indirect light Non toxic Every 2 years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/hemionitis-arifolia-heart-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Hemionitis-Arifolia-Heart-Fern-4in_greenalfie.png?v=1651103662 4766680383570 Zahra Zahra is your gateway plant to plant parenthood. If that's too technical: Zahra is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Zahra and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Zahra, such a low maintenance girl. Zahra also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Zahra does not need any plant food. Gosh Zahra, what's not to like here? Not so sure about this whole plant parent thing? Ease into it then by getting yourself a snake plant! Sansevieria plants are having a bit of a moment so you'd be a hip plant parent right out of the gate! The name Snake plant might sound daunting, but rest assured: Snakes are sssssssuper easy to maintain and we've made this green amigo promise  it  won't strangle you in your sleep. These low maintenance houseplants only need water about once a month and can be left in moderate to bright light. When you’re watering yours, check to see if the soil is dry a few inches deep before watering again. Overwatering can lead to soft, brown mushy leaves and snakes really don't appreciate mushy leaves. It totally messes up their vibes. 10 17 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-green-hahnii-birds-nest-snake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/HahniiGreenSnake4inpot.png?v=1609956384 4894546427986 Viola Calatheas are having a bit of a moment.

Viola is part of the Calathea family and just as striking as her sisters Julia, Brooke, Sophia, Susie and Pink. If you're an avid Calathea collector, Viola is a must have addition to the collection. Her big beautiful leaves are a bright purple that is not seen often in shaded plants. Put this fancy lady in a bright spot away from direct sunlight, and give her a regular misting of the leaves. Fortunately she's a great communicator and will furl up her leaves to tell you she's thirsty!  15 30 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-roseopicta-rosy-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaRosepicta6inpot.png?v=1609955517 4687804334162 Romaine "Hey! did someone order a burger no patty, no bun, no cheese!?"

Sylvie is small but has a beautiful voluptuous canopy that makes her stunningly good at cleaning the air. She is lightly poisonous, so be careful with pets. Sylvie is not a huge fan of the sun, so put her in a shaded area and give her some H2O every week or so! "Try a small one for size" is Sylvie's motto. Even though she's tiny, Sylvie will give you immense delight with her beautiful leaves that shine in majestic colorful combinations. She left us hypnotised!

This sophisticated, zen gentleman is certainly one of a kind and is ready to become your personal meditation coach. Before you wake up, Bao will have already meditated for at least two hours, so you'll need to do some catch up. Now, let's try it again c'mon: focus on your breathing, juuuuuust focussss... aaaahh... The Buddhist Pine has a vibrant, grass-like foliage that mesmerizes anyone who sees him. He's an easy going fella who doesn't require much care from you. However, make sure to keep him healthy by letting his soil dry before waterings and by placing him somewhere he can get bright light, including direct sunlight. Bao also has the potential to become a huge amigo, so he may require some trimming as his hair starts to grow. 10 28 Moderate Strong air purifier Bright, indirect light Toxic Every 3-4 years Biweekly during growing season https://plantsome.ca/products/podocarpus-budhist-pine-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Budhistpine4inpot.png?v=1609956249 6630142509138 Cranerys We hear ya: Strelitzie Reginae sounds like people dressed as scientists for toothpaste ads. If so, you might dig this plant’s name in regular parlance: Bird of Paradise, or Crane Flower. Now, that’s a damn good superhero name! The nicknames come from two pretty neat design features: the plant looks like a birds head when it’s blossoming, and the flowers resemble feathers on a crane’s head (the bird, not the machine). Aside from its noble roots (ha), the Strelitzia is actually pretty down to earth (somebody’s on a streak today!) and easy to please. She is not fussy about her watering needs, as long as you don't overdo it. Just like climate change, though, sunburn is a real thing: if you leave your Strelitzia exposed to direct sunlight, it will suffer more than that time you tried a DIY wax job during the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Instead, use indirect light, all year-round, and avoid temperatures below 10°C. Oh and a final, friendly advice: this plant is considered mildly toxic for cats, dogs and people. So, if your household has pets, children, adults on a plant-based diet or all of the above...you might want to get rid of them first! Hey you! You may have noticed that this plant was once classified as an air purifier. While all plants do purify your air to an extent, it's significantly less than this green amigo would like to take credit for! Wanna learn more?

She’s a sealed vault. She never says anything past a few words. She’s one of those plants who can tell an entire story with just her facial expressions. But she’ll never tell you her own story. The only reason anybody knows her name is because she lost her purse with her I.D once. When you meet her for the first time you might think she’s mute and Lanira likes to keep it that way, so if you could kindly stop talking that would be much appreciated. Be more like Lanira, and observe, just look and listen you know? People do not hide what they don’t know is on show and Lanira sees all! The Anthurium, much like the Philodendron, is a big family of plants and just like all big families, there's one star that shines the brightest. Enter Anthurium Andraenum or if that's to much of a tongue twister; the Flamingo Lily. This beautiful lady is originally found in places like Equador and Colombia but quickly won over the hearts of many plant parents all over the world. She's easy to care for and produces long lasting bright beautiful lily like flowers. Such a beauty! 15 45 https://plantsome.ca/products/red-anthurium-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/AnthuriumRed6inpot.png?v=1610487573 6644789936210 Hobbes Hobbes doesn’t do small talk. He’s got layers baby and he’s not afraid to show them. If you’re in the mood to debate the origins of Western thought or listen to a lecture on human consciousness, our Hobbes is the plant for you. He may be a bit slow to grow, but when he sets his mind to something he does it with purpose. Hobbes is a trailing plant whose leaves are slightly dark around the edges. We think that’s what gives him his depth of character and we’re here for it. A key figure in the age of enlightenment, Hobbes is a huge fan of bright indirect light and stimulating conversation. He’s not a heavy drinker either, which is a plus in our books! The Hoya wayetii is also known as the wax plant or the porcelain flower plant. Why, you may ask? It’s cuz Hobbes here has been known to produce sweet-smelling clusters of flowers in the springtime and it sure is a sight to behold. Don’t be too sad if your green amigo doesn’t bloom in the first year, it may take him some time to acclimate to the new digs. Other than that, Hobbes is a pretty easy going guy. Give your Hoya wayetii as much bright, indirect light as possible and let his soil dry out between waterings. He also loooooves humidity and will #thrive hanging in a well-lit bathroom.

This girl will want you to give her the primo spot at the window sill and won't settle for anything less. She relegates cacti and succulents to kitchens and side tables and is not impressed by the big monstera in the corner. This parlour palm is here to stay and she wants all your other green amigos to know it, too! Her huge green leaves tower over most other green amigos which makes for a pretty stunning centre piece in your living room. Don't match Vicky to your couch, match your couch to Vicky! That's how she likes it. Reed Palms native lands are Mexico and Guatemala but don't worry, these palms can get just as comfortable in your household. In fact, reed palms have been a popular choice in homes all over the world since the Victorian age! How any one plant has maintained its popularity for so long remains a mystery to us, but we think it has something to do with that fantastic foliage.

Perhaps you’d even throw around the word “homeless”, if you’re getting technical. Clouseau himself prefers the terms “nomad” and “wanderer”. He and his sister Sylvie may have different outlooks on life, he likes to keep his roots in the soil and she has her head in the clouds, but they’re both travellers at heart who are, like, totally ready to, like, find themselves. Add a splash of vibrant color to your space with the Tradescantia Pink Panther! This eye-catching, easy-care plant thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for windowsills or well-lit indoor areas.

He’s known far and wide for his climbing abilities, which have been notoriously exploited by fairy tale princes with god complexes and sparkling teeth. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel? Let down your hair.” More like, “Pip, climb up this tower so Rapunzel can scale down your back. Then I’ll take the girl and the glory.” Doesn’t Pip deserve a palace too? Doesn’t he, at the very least, deserve a parade? Not only would he look amazing hoisted on the shoulders of peasants while they sang his praises, but he’s also been lying to his childhood friends for years about how famous he is and, at some point, they’re going to want to see the statue Prince Charming carved in his honor. And they’re going to want to take pictures. Pip is both lovely and easy-to-care for, making him the ideal plant for beginners and long-time plant enthusiasts. Keep his soil slightly moist and place him in indirect light or shade. If you feel like that’s not enough, or you see his leaves start to wilt, you can mist him directly to keep him chipper. A natural born climber, Pip needs a pole to practice his skills on and to grow strong and tall. But remember, no matter how strong he looks, you should never, ever try to scale Pip. He won’t speak to you again and your mother will be embarrassed. She’ll tell her friends about you and no one will come to your birthday party. Pip will laugh at you while you sit in your kitchen alone, asking your God why he brought you into this world if it was only to suffer. Good luck. 10 22 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/raphiphodora-decursiva-dragons-tail-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Dragon_sTail4inpot.png?v=1620592488 7099577958482 Perry While Perry may seem like your run-of-the-mill Eucalyptus from the sunny shores of Australia, he spends half his time under the guise of a fedora. He looks as inconspicuous as, well, any plant would saving the world from Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s evil schemes. He’s a very quiet plant, whose face never betrays any sudden emotion, and who will appear at the end of the day acting like he hasn’t been missing from your garden for 12 hours. Perry is the cool, calm, and collected type. If he drank, he would probably prefer his drinks shaken, not stirred. Eucalyptus is a gorgeous plant easily distinguished by its green-blue moon shaped leaves. While highly toxic to animals and humans, they make excellent bug repellents and are often used for their oil. Eucalyptus is a great plant to have outside in your garden, or indoors in a spacious pot and placed by a sunny, south facing window. They are a fairly easy care plant, as they don’t require a lot of water. If planting outdoors, be sure to give it lots of space for growth, and lots of sunshine. The Eucalyptus will do best outdoors in a sunny spot, and will even produce fluffy white flowers in the summertime to thank you! 10 22 https://plantsome.ca/products/eucalyptus-silver-drop-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/iStock-1210960891.jpg?v=1681339590 6903172137042 Toto His full name is Totoro, but his friends call him Toto. He lives deep in the forest in the hollow of a large camphor tree—to find him, just follow the forest spirits. Toto is usually slumbering on a bed of flowers, and occasionally mumbles in his sleep. Don’t be fooled by his dopey demeanor; he’s loyal, observant, and will always let you take his seat on the catbus. Note: Currently shipping Acer Palmatum Dissectum assorted subspecies such as Red Dragon and Red Select. The Japanese Maple, or Acer Palmatum, is a perfect addition to your garden to add stunning colour and texture. This tree can also be potted indoors given that it receives ample room to grow, as they can reach heights of 7 feet. Known as the Full Moon Maple or Green Cascade, this variety has a weeping form and turns yellow, orange, and red in the fall. This Japanese Maple doesn’t require a ton of TLC—be sure to only fertilize in the spring, and keep it in a full sun/partial shade location for best results! 16 60 https://plantsome.ca/products/cascading-japanese-maple-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/JapaneseMaple6in.jpg?v=1656454075 7119829237842 Frank At Plantsome we named the Lemon Meyeri plant after its original discovering botanist Frank Meyer. Originally an immigrant from Holland, Frank became a botanist for the US department of agriculture. It took him on many harrowing adventures! This beautiful and tasty Lemon Meyer plant bears his legacy. Thanks Frank! When life gives you lemons... you must have one of these in your home because that's how you get 'em! The Citrus Meyeri is actually known to be a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin which gives the Meyeri lemon a slightly sweeter taste than what you get with regular lemons. So when life does give you lemons, they better be these sweet tastin Meyeri's. Yummm!In order for your Lemon trees to flourish, put them outside in a bright spot, for example on a balcony or patio. These trees need the night time drops in temperature to start producing fruit! 13 45 Frequent Low air purifier Direct sunlight Fruit can be upsetting to pets Once every two years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/citrus-meyeri-lemon-plant-m-5in http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/iStock-1403208331.jpg?v=1686344327 4810604937298 Jay Jay is your gateway plant to plant parenthood. If that's too technical: Jay is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Jay and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Jay, such a low maintenance guy. Jay also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Jay does not need any plant food. Gosh Jay, what's not to like here? Not so sure about this whole plant parent thing? Ease into it then by getting yourself a snake plant! Sansevieria plants are having a bit of a moment so you'd be a hip plant parent right out of the gate! The name Snake plant might sound daunting, but rest assured: Snakes are sssssssuper easy to maintain and we've made this green amigo promise  it  won't strangle you in your sleep. These low maintenance houseplants only need water about once a month and can be left in moderate to bright light. When you’re watering yours, check to see if the soil is dry a few inches deep before watering again. Overwatering can lead to soft, brown mushy leaves and snakes really don't appreciate mushy leaves. It totally messes up their vibes. 10 18 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-black-gold-hahnii-birds-nest-snake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BirdsNestSnakePlant-4inchpot.png?v=1609956388 4955890647122 Yoda Old and wise this fern is. Judge him by his size do you? Hmmm? You should not, for his ally is the force. If you see squinting really hard at a watering can, it’s because he’s trying to move it with his mind and water himself, since his apprentice (yes, YOU) obviously forgot. Yoda is very confident in his mental abilities, even though he’s so little, like a baby. Hmmm...baby... Yoda? Sounds kind of freaky. Catch on it wouldn’t. Never think about it again, we will. Even though Yoda is incredibly wise for a button fern, he needs you to take good care of him. Yoda loves humidity and thrives in indirect light or partial shade, but don’t put him too far on the dark side of your house. Water him each time the top layer of his soil has dried, because, even though plant Yoda knows death is a natural part of life, it’ll be another 900 years before he’s ready to become one with the force. 15 25 Frequent Strong air purifier Indirect light Pet friendly Once every two years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/pellaea-rotundifolia-button-fern-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/ButtonFern6inpot.png?v=1613065960 7136964771922 Heidi According to NASA, Heidi takes a top-10 spot when it comes to air purifying power. Which is just stellar. Heidi told us she was recruited to be part of the mission to the moon, but that sounds a lot like fairy tale to us. She showed us a picture - it looks photoshopped, so we won't show that here. We know: Heidi's gonna hate, but what can you do? Either way, air purifying is still a pretty cool superpower, and Heidi is the real deal. What are you waiting for? Don't get hasty, get Heidi! The Ficus Shivereana Moonshine is a rare Ficus, distinguished by its highly variegated green and cream coloured leaves. This variegation will increase with brighter light, resulted in speckled leaves. Although small, it is a statement plant that is very popular among plant collectors! The Ficus Moonshine loves bright, indirect light and high humidity.

With her trademark strength, height, and good-naturedness, she can be intimidating to those who don’t know her. Turns out, she’s a softy at heart and will surely win you over with her home-cooked meals and friendly banter. Dracaena are great easy care tropical houseplants. They can tolerate anything from bright, indirect light to low light (keep them out of direct sunlight, it will burn their leaves). Their soil should almost entirely dry in between waterings and don’t require much fertilizer (only once or twice a year), which makes them very low maintenance! If you notice any brown leaf tips, it might be due to mineral buildup from your tap water. If you have particularly hard water or use a water softener, switch to watering with filtered water. 10 16 Infrequent Strong air purifyer Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Every 2 years Once or twice a year https://plantsome.ca/products/dracaena-malaika-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/dracaena-malaika-4in_pinkfreya.png?v=1668541602 4771769679954 Noah Noah is an easy going one.

Beyond that, Noah is a pretty chill dude and excellent at purifying the air. Thanks Noah! Dracaena marginata (or Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia) is one of many Dracaena cultivars. Commonly, Dracaena marginata are sometimes called “Dragon Trees” because the name Dracaena comes from a Greek word meaning female dragon.

But don't let that hold you back! Paris will rock your world with her incomparable ravishing looks. Even though Paris left Beverly Hills to come to BC, her glamorous lifestyle still persists. When Paris isn't enjoying a fancy happy hour at Yaletown or doing daily indoor cycling in Kitsilano, Paris likes to go to the best Instagrammable places BC has to offer. She's told us Joffrey Lakes and Garibaldi Lake are at the top of her bucket list, but "OMG" she must go early in the morning because apparently Paris can very get picky with crowds. Oh Paris... Yep, you guessed it. Paris is not the easiest plant to take care of, but she may well be one of the best-looking gals you've ever seen. So, here's our take: she's sooo worth it! Her beautiful marbled foliage with multiple shades of green, gorgeous white markings and purple undersides are honestly ethereal! Keep up with her demands by making sure you place her somewhere that is moderately humid and with filtered sunlight. Also, Paris can get fussy about what she drinks because "ughh tap water minerals", so you can try to alternate between tap and filtered water to prevent brown tips on the leaves—allowing the top of her soil dry up to 1" between waterings. 10 15 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-white-fusion-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Calathea4inpot.png?v=1609955532 6718877597778 Luna Luna is your gateway plant to plant parenthood.

Luna also doesn't mind being put in a shaded spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Luna does not need any plant food. Gosh, what's not to like here? The Sansevieria Moonshine is also known as the snake plant. To be honest, we don't get it. Snakes can't stand up, while Luna can. Snakes throw hissy fits, and Luna is as chill as a cucumber. Snakes crawl, and Luna doesn't crawl. Snakes always show up on planes, and Luna hates planes. All slithering aside, the snake plant is also called a 'mother in law's tongue' because of how sharp the tips of their leaves are. Get it? Get it?! Anyway, this African plant is truly one of the easiest to maintain, which makes Luna really popular. us purifies your air but be careful with Fifi and Felix (pets)... this snake has some poisonoussss juiccccce. 10 20 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-moonshine-snake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/SansevieriaMoonshineSnake4inpot.png?v=1638490198 4703740723282 Kate Sigh! Remember back in grade 5, you were sitting in the back of the class and there was that girl in the second row, the one with two giant braids, mischievous eyes and rosy cheeks? You would sit there and dream about her all day long thinking you were going to get married and have kids and a dog and a house in the burbs... Well that girl is Kate and today she runs an ink shop down on the Drive. She is married to Lori and was elected to the Parks Board last year. We love Kate because she defies convention and makes sh*t happen. Go Kate! What's not to love about a plant that has irresistible heart-shaped leaves? Kate is a vine so she can grow as a trailing/hanging plant or as a climbing plant depending on your tastes. Furthermore Kate is a jungle plant so she loves warm, humid environments and bright, filtered sun but no direct light - think of all of those jungle plants lliving under the shade of the giant jungle trees. If Kate's vines grow too long don't be afraid to trim them back, that will help her to fill out a little more. 10 17 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-cordatum-s-lemon-lime-heartleaf http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/heartleafcordatumlemonlime4inpot.png?v=1609956201 6615673372754 Milly Milly turns heads when she walks by and it’s easy to see why with her gorgeous leaves. It doesn’t matter where she is, in a room, in the garden, on a ledge, people always stop to admire and ask “are those real?” Milly’s best friend calls her “one in a million” because there’s no one quite like her. Sure she can be a bit melodramatic but Milly just has that “x” factor about her, it’s like she walks into a room and just purifies it...what a thing of wonder. Oh ferns.... we have a love hate relationship with them and this Button Fern is no exception. Beautiful fronds will unfurl in frond (hehe) of your eyes if you're a good plant parent. If you're a bad plant parent, you'll be met with a loss of leaves like you've never seen before. The horror! Avoiding that means keeping this beauty in high humidity (spraying or misting frequently does help!) and away from direct light. Be sure to keep the soil moist but not dry at all times.

If you zoom in on photos of all the great movements in history -- the stonewall riots, the women’s suffrage movement, the land back protests -- you’ll see a flash of green or a little philodendron with its fist in the air. These are Xiao’s ancestors and she aims to carry on their legacy by planting herself on the right side of history (herstory?). Whatever you believe in, you’ll find a passionate, and photogenic, ally in Xiao. Xiao’s dark green leaves are lined with bright yellow variegation, like streaks of starlight. Fitting, as Xiao brightens any room she enters with her laidback, thoughtful personality. Place her in bright, indirect light and occasionally give her some time in the shade to recharge and reflect. 15 30 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-birkin-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PhilodendronBirkin6inpot.png?v=1611612238 4794130661458 Dottie At 65 Dottie is a completely new plant. She’s been prescribed medicinal marijuana for her cataracts and it’s completely opened up her mind. Dottie walks around in a world of vibrant colors, she sees her own leaves as a mix of purples and pinks. Whenever the grandchildren are over, she tells the younger ones to never stop dreaming and slips the older ones some weed cookies. It’s hard to argue with somebody who never stops smiling. Dottie can be found dressed in a mix of velvet-red robes and flowing gowns that look like they belong in a ballroom dresser room. Dottie even got caught speeding on the highway and told the officer he had a beautiful soul. She got off without a ticket. The Calathea Roseopicta Dottie is visually striking to say the least with dark green leaves that are beautifully contrasted against pink borders and strokes and a purple underside. Dottie needs plenty of diffused sunlight but if she’s out in direct sunlight it can cause her to lose the beautiful markings on her leaves. Plus too much sunlight makes her feel totally baked! Keep her soil damp but not enough that she sits there in water. Even when she’s got the munchies! 10 20 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks, during summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-roseopicta-dottie-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaMedallionRoseopictaDottie4inpot.png?v=1609955515 4785086169170 Finneas Finneas wasn’t always like this. He was considered cool once. A lead singer of a local band, coached his younger brother’s soccer team, president of the student association. The works. But then she left him. We don’t mention her name but she was the best thing that ever happened to him and our Finneas just hasn’t been the same after that. Oh the weeping! He’s still the lead singer, in fact they’re going on a world tour because the break up songs he wrote went viral! Can you give him a shoulder to cry on? The Curly Weeping Fig (Ficus Benjamina Barok) is commonly grown as an indoor plant or in an office due to its great tolerance for limited light conditions. Finneas loves the dark, he feels as though without her he can’t bear to stand the light. Finneas has thick and glossy dark leaves that he may shed when he’s feeling really depressed. So deffo no mentioning of what happened. Finneas is awesome for removing air toxins, even though he can bring the mood down, he’s probably just absorbing it all that’s why. When it comes to watering, make sure his soil doesn’t dry out, especially during the growing season. 15 43 Average Strong air purifying Partial shade, no direct sunlight Slightly poisonous Once every two years Once every 3-4 weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/curly-weeping-fig-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CurlyWeepingFig6inpot.png?v=1609955592 4703792889938 Aurora Aura's chill sister, Aurora is the laid-back one. Sure, like all Epipremnum Aureum (that's her royalty name), Aurora digs being in the spotlight, but not if that means direct sunlight or paparazzi flashes. Kind of like the Pippa to Aura's Kate. You grow, girl! Aurora is the nerdy type who loves to read about what NASA is up to these days. In fact, she was even featured in a viral NASA article once, about air purifying plants! Like most nerds, Aurora too hates to leave the house, and would rather have her sunlight filtered through a window. Otherwise, if you give her a lot of light, Aurora will wither like a vampire in the sun, or that kid in school that one time his crush caught him doing the Spock Hand Sign (cue sad trombone sound effect). 15 27 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/pothos-jade-pearl-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PothosPearlandJade6inpot.png?v=1609956287 4543360204882 Frank At Plantsome we named the Lemon Meyeri plant after its original discovering botanist Frank Meyer.

There, we said it! Our Audrey as we lovingly call her is a stunner! This particular version was grown bushy and short but Ficus Audrey plants can grow tall and tree like if that's your thing, too! You can basically train her to reach tree like proportions. And on top of that, Audrey is much easier to take care of than her relatives Evelyn and Eileen (fiddle leaf fig). Oh my, what is not to like here! The Ficus Audrey is the national plant of India where you'll find them growing to immense size. These are beautiful plants with almost silk like leaves and a beautiful white stem. We are not surprised India chose this beauty as its national plant. Audrey is stunning!

One of our favourite plants, the one and only Miguel, has migrated to British Columbia to have a go at the Rocky Mountains. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome him and we’re sure our fellow British Columbians won’t mind having a captive...I mean friendly audience to drone on and on to...I mean talk to about our beautiful province. Just remember to throw Miguel a compliment or two in the middle of your craft beer presentation, ok? Those leaves! Though there are thousands of species of Philodendron, the Scandens Brasil stands out for his stunning green and yellow leaves. Perhaps he can tell you about them after you two visit your tenth biking trail. This green amigo would also like to tell you that he likes both a little direct sunlight and a little shade, and to sit in moist soil. He definitely came to the right place! Why not give him a moss covered support so he can practice his climbing skills? He was a professional back in the jungle, which you would know if you paused your Nickelback playlist long enough to listen to anything he said. 15 24 Average Strong air purifying Medium to low light needed Poisonous Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/philodendron-brazil-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PhilodendronBrazil6in_wBouleBlack.png?v=1638313181 6996480458834 Arnold What is the meaning of Christmas, you ask? It’s obviously about showing who’s the man by obtaining the most hot, elusive gift of the season for your child. You’ll never be looked at with more admiration than by your son who has been given the gift of a lifetime. Nevermind that you had to fight Sinbad along the way (he had it coming). Arnold is a man of his word, and the holidays are when he shines. Literally. His muscles and Austrian accent make him the perfect addition to your holiday decor. Don’t bother putting him away January 1st either—or his infamous “I’ll be back” will haunt you till next December. The Euro Cypress (or European Cypress, if we're getting technical) is the perfect addition to your home for that festive, natural touch. These small trees enjoy bright, indirect light—think near a north, west, or east facing window—and slightly moist soil. You'll know when it's been underwatered as these trees will lose their needles! Keep humidity levels around 40-60% for the best results. After the holidays, your Euro Cypress can be planted outside, or kept in a planter (indoors or outdoors) year round! Be sure to repot it into a slightly larger container if you notice the soil drying out extremely quick, or if there has been lots of new growth. 10 30 Moderate Not air purifying Bright, indirect Toxic Once a year Once a month https://plantsome.ca/products/euro-cyprus-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Euro-Cyprus-4in_rednora.png?v=1666810144 6582045442130 Miss Frizzle Miss Frizzle has a f(r)ondness for eccentric colors and lizards. Through the gaps in her wavy, messy foliage she observes the world with curiosity and an eagerness for knowledge. There’s a rumor going around that she has supernatural abilities, fueled by the static electricity in her leaves, but it’s only because she’s so good at everything. Miss Frizzle can unicycle, backflip, knows how to drive a school bus (not that we’d ever test that out), and has a strangely specific understanding of the human digestive system. And she does it all without opposable thumbs or a brain. We hate her. Oh wait, that’s not right. No, wait. Yes, it is. We hate her. Miss Frizzle loves assigning homework. Please water her when the top layer of her soil has dried, about once a week. For full marks, put her in partial shade or indirect light. Skip your assignments and Miss Frizzle will be forced call your parents (or she’ll die, which would be sadder and more embarrassing), so be cool and stay in school. 10 27 Frequent Strong Air purifying Low light environments Non-toxic Once a year Reduced strength nutrition https://plantsome.ca/products/microsorum-kangaroo-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/KangarooFern4inpot.png?v=1619198660 6570520248402 Bebe Bebe always wants to go for drinks and party hard. Weekends or workdays, it don't matter much to her! And she doesn't discriminate either. You'll find her in underground dance clubs one day and an upscale jazz bar the next. She tends to bring an entourage of Calathea sisters everywhere she goes that is sure to draw a crowd. So if you're thinking of bringing her home, be prepared to meet her sisters too! Bebe is part of the Calathea family and just as striking as her sisters Pink, Julia, Brooke, Sophia and Susie. In fact, this pretty lady's got something not many plants have, stripes! But don't be fooled, it is hard work getting her to put those big beautiful leaves out. Just like any rock star there is a list of demands: a bright spot, no direct sunlight, regular misting of the leaves, fertilizer in summer and a little bit of water at just the right time! Fortunately she's a great communicator and will furl up her leaves to tell you she's thirsty!  15 32 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-ornata-beauty-star-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaOrnataBeautyStar6inpot.png?v=1617906224 7126926950482 Samwise Gentle, strong, and loyal to a fault—that pretty much sums up this potato-loving amigo. Although Samwise is most content in the gardens of the Shire, he would walk to the ends of Middle Earth for a friend in need. He is the unsung hero of our tale, but that’s just how he likes it. Too much attention may go to Samwise’s head, and we know what happens then, eh Mr. Frodo? The Syngonium  P odophyllum  is  also referred to as the Arrowhead Plant due to the spade shaped foliage. This  is a tropical houseplant well suited for all indirect lighting conditions .

Wait until you see Wendy. She first became famous in her native South Africa where she went viral with TikTok moves no one could copy. Wendy really puts the 'sun' in Sunday with her love of sunshine and light. She's low maintenance while still being the star of the show on your south-facing window sill. Such a bright gal! Wendy is real popular in South Africa where she grows in abundance. Wendy is a hardcore succulent, which means she has a badass superpower: she. is. TOUGH. Forgot to water her for a few weeks? Wendy shrugs it off like its no big deal. Accidentally put her in the fridge? No biggie. Left her at the tanning salon? She can handle it. Wendy is a roommate that will never ask you to turn the music down or warn you that you're eating too many carbs.

She fiercely believes there’s somebody out there for her. For all of us. We just have to find them. Juliet spends most of her free time planning her dream wedding - the perfect decor, the perfect wedding band, everything perfect for her perfect prince. Nobody has the heart to tell her that there's no such thing as perfect. Lets face it, who wants to be the one to tell somebody to stop believing in love? Juliet’s met some great plants but they’re just not him y’know. They’re not Romeo. The String of Hearts (known to some as the Ceropegia Woodii) is a lovely trailing plant easily recognisable with its heart shaped leaves. Caring for Juliet is fairly simple, she needs watering once every 7-10 days but don’t allow her to sit in water as she’ll get root rot (and heartbreak). Juliet enjoys a little bit of sunshine, so having her close to a window would be great...and helps her look for the love of her life. 5 7 Little Low air purifier Bright indirect light Non-toxic Repot when root bound Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/ceropegia-woodii-string-of-hearts-xs http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/string-of-hearts-xs_tanelsa.png?v=1655328479 6535824212050 Frank At Plantsome we named the Lemon Meyeri plant after its original discovering botanist Frank Meyer. Originally an immigrant from Holland, Frank became a botanist for the US department of agriculture. It took him on many harrowing adventures! This beautiful and tasty Lemon Meyer plant bears his legacy. Thanks Frank! When life gives you lemons... you must have one of these in your home because that's how you get 'em! The Citrus Meyeri is actually known to be a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin which gives the Meyeri lemon a slightly sweeter taste than what you get with regular lemons. So when life does give you lemons, they better be these sweet tastin Meyeri's. Yummm!In order for your Lemon trees to flourish, put them outside in a bright spot, for example on a balcony or patio. These trees need the night time drops in temperature to start producing fruit! 21 45 Frequent Low air purifier Direct sunlight Fruit can be upsetting to pets Once every two years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/citrus-meyeri-lemon-plant-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/iStock-1410761574_a8b19e7c-a313-44a6-8f4d-93ecba02ae45.jpg?v=1710794249 4785222352978 Miguel Arrrriba amigos! One of our favourite plants, the one and only Miguel, has migrated to British Columbia to have a go at the Rocky Mountains. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome him and we’re sure our fellow British Columbians won’t mind having a captive...I mean friendly audience to drone on and on to...I mean talk to about our beautiful province. Just remember to throw Miguel a compliment or two in the middle of your craft beer presentation, ok? Those leaves! Though there are thousands of species of Philodendron, the Scandens Brasil stands out for his stunning green and yellow leaves. Perhaps he can tell you about them after you two visit your tenth biking trail. This green amigo would also like to tell you that he likes both a little direct sunlight and a little shade, and to sit in moist soil. He definitely came to the right place!  Why not give him a moss covered support so he can practice his climbing skills? He was a professional back in the jungle, which you would know if you paused your Nickelback playlist long enough to listen to anything he said. Hey you!

This diva can hold her own when it comes to survival skills. She's a tough cookie that can handle a range of light conditions, from low to bright light, and won't complain if you forget to water her for a few days (although we don't recommend making that a habit). If you're ready to add a touch of whimsy and wonder to your plant collection, the Monstera Thai Constellation is the perfect addition. Just be prepared for a little jealousy from your other plants - this star is sure to steal the show! Behold! The Variegated Thai Constellation Monstera Deliciosa, or the GOAT, the MVP, the unicorn of the plant world. Are we exaggerating? We think not.

Some say he came from an alien planet and crash landed in a giant burrito spaceship. It kind of makes sense if you think about it for a second, because the origin of the Burrito as a food is also a mystery. So consider it solved...the burrito is alien food! Javier's favourite is the Breakfast burrito. Hmmm NomNomNom! It is true that this Sedum Morganianum has never been spotted in the wild so its still a real mystery where this funny looking fella is actually from. But you obviously didn't come for the mystique, so let us tell you about how easy it is to care for this otherworldly stranger. Sedum plants are super easy to care for. They store water in their succulent leaves which means this burrito boy doesn't mind your forgetful watering habits. Keep yours away from direct sunlight as that will burn the leaves to a crisp and water occasionally when the top soil has dried out. 15 17 Little Low air purifying Bright, indirect sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once a month in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/sedum-morganianum-string-of-burritos-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/StringofBurritos6inpotcopy.png?v=1609956340 4431499362386 Gus Gus is your gateway plant to plant parenthood. If that's too technical: Gus is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Gus and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Gus, such a low maintenance guy. Gus also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Gus does not need any plant food. Gosh Gus, what's not to like here? The Sansevieria Zeylanica is also known as the snake plant. To be honest, we don't get it. Snakes can't stand up, while Gus can. Snakes throw hissy fits, and Gus is as chill as a cucumber. Snakes crawl, and Gus doesn't crawl. Snakes always show up on planes, and Gus hates planes. All slithering aside, the snake plant is also called a 'mother in law's tongue' because of how sharp the tips of their leaves are. Get it? Get it?! Anyway, this African plant is truly one of the easiest to maintain, which makes Gus really popular. us purifies your air but be careful with Fifi and Felix (pets)... this snake has some poisonoussss juiccccce. 21 65 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-zeylanica-snake-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Zeylanica_8_inch_web_on_ellis.png?v=1583817223 6856384118866 Richie You may have heard of the Dukes of Cambridge or Sussex, but have you heard of the Blueberry Duke!? If the answer is no, then you’re in for a real sweet treat. To the dismay of his family, young Richie here (formerly known as Richard III) hung up his royal duties a few years back to pursue his dream of becoming a world renowned pastry chef. Croissants, eclairs, cannoli - you name it! Blueberry Pie is his specialty and if you ask us, we prefer a pastry prince to a stuffy HRH - but nobody asked and that’s okay too I guess… Happy picking! Duke Blueberry bushes (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Duke') are Highbush Blueberries, meaning the shrubs grow tall (up to six feet!) and produce larger berries than their Lowbush cousins. Due to their size, they are a great option for edible landscaping and can be used as hedges when planted in a row. Pollination happens most effectively when BlueBerry bushes are close in proximity of one another, be sure to consider buying at least two. Blueberry plants are big fans of acidic soil, so consider checking the pH of your garden soil before planting. Blueberry plants will produce the most blueberries when in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. They are cold hardy plants and can tolerate temps down to about -30 degrees C (brrr!). First, in springtime, you’ll be treated to delicate, bell-shaped, white flowers that make way for the delicious berries that ripen early in late spring or early summer (yum!). 21 70 https://plantsome.ca/products/vaccinium-corymbosum-highbush-blueberry-duke-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/iStock-1251384557.jpg?v=1649705556 4766680940626 Jay Jay is your gateway plant to plant parenthood. If that's too technical: Jay is easier to take care of than a pet rock (okay, almost as easy). Just take it easy with watering your Jay and you'll have a happy plant! Less is more for Jay, such a low maintenance guy. Jay also doesn't mind being put in a shady spot. Perfect for those corners in the home that your other plant friends frown upon. Oh and Jay does not need any plant food. Gosh Jay, what's not to like here? Not so sure about this whole plant parent thing? Ease into it then by getting yourself a snake plant! Sansevieria plants are having a bit of a moment so you'd be a hip plant parent right out of the gate! The name Snake plant might sound daunting, but rest assured: Snakes are sssssssuper easy to maintain and we've made this green amigo promise  it  won't strangle you in your sleep. These low maintenance houseplants only need water about once a month and can be left in moderate to bright light. When you’re watering yours, check to see if the soil is dry a few inches deep before watering again. Overwatering can lead to soft, brown mushy leaves and snakes really don't appreciate mushy leaves. It totally messes up their vibes. 10 15 Very little Strong air purifying Anywhere Toxic Once every three years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/sansevieria-golden-hahnii-birds-nest-snake-plant-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/GoldenHahnii4inpot.png?v=1614194624 4582225313874 Amelia Oh boy, is this a tough cookie. The Epipremnum Aureum is a hanging plant that LOVES those high, hard-to-reach, arm-stretching, ladder-falling-while-watering areas in the house. Since the name Epipremnum Aureum reminded us of the spelling bee we failed, we decided to call her Amelia. Legend has it that she used to spend her time flying the skies in her Lockheed Vega, but she's retired. Now she just hangs around the Plantsome HQ, and whatever happened in Vega stayed in Vega. The Pothos Gold, also known as Epipremnum Aureum, is widely known and loved! Her leaves grow faster than a jet plane, turning your place into a leafy wonderland before you can even find your passport. But that's not her only trick: she's a pro at air detox, making her your home's in-house clean freak. When it comes to choosing her spot, she's as laid-back as they come. She just doesn't like to fly too close to the sun, so be sure to keep her out of the direct light, and give her a drink every 1-2 weeks to refuel. Stay gold, Pothos! 21 30 Moderate Strong air purifier Low or medium light Toxic Every other year Nitrogen rich fertilizer (monthly) https://plantsome.ca/products/epipremnum-aureum-pothos-gold-l http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/PothosGold8inpot.png?v=1645310208 4573429399634 Juma Like his brother Baloo (the Musa Dwarf Cavendish), Juma also came from the jungle. And boy, has she traveled: from Java, Indonesia, her habitat, she was one of the first banana subspecies to be spread by humans out of Southeast Asia. Which makes her the great-great-great-grandmother of the Bananas family tree. Now that's Bananas! The name Blood banana might sound aggressive but rest assured. The origin of the Blood banana name, though, is actually cute: when Juma's leaves grow, they have this beautiful, dark red colouring to them! Ok, that's less dramatic than the Great War for the throne of the Plant Kingdom, but you can't beat beauty. 10 24 A lot Light air purifying Bright, direct light Non-toxic Once every two years Every other week (summer) https://plantsome.ca/products/musa-acuminata-blood-banana http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Bloodbanana4injimmy.png?v=1587574207 6704207364178 Yoda Old and wise this fern is. Judge him by his size do you? Hmmm? You should not, for his ally is the force. If you see squinting really hard at a watering can, it’s because he’s trying to move it with his mind and water himself, since his apprentice (yes, YOU) obviously forgot. Yoda is very confident in his mental abilities, even though he’s so little, like a baby. Hmmm...baby... Yoda? Sounds kind of freaky. Catch on it wouldn’t. Never think about it again, we will. Even though Yoda is incredibly wise for a button fern, he needs you to take good care of him. Yoda loves humidity and thrives in indirect light or partial shade, but don’t put him too far on the dark side of your house. Water him each time the top layer of his soil has dried, because, even though plant Yoda knows death is a natural part of life, it’ll be another 900 years before he’s ready to become one with the force. 10 16 Frequent Strong air purifier Indirect light Pet friendly Once every two years Not needed https://plantsome.ca/products/pellaea-rotundifolia-button-fern-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/ButtonFern4inpot.png?v=1631749270 7152687448146 Bambi Bambi’s all grown up, and he’s coming home with you. This rare specimen is big and beautiful, but don’t get it twisted—he’s quite a lot to handle. You’ll need to anchor his feet down with a nice pot, otherwise he’ll be bucking around all over the place. Steady, boy! The Alocasia Tundurusa "Jacklyn" is a rare Alocasia known for it's unique leaf shape with dark green veins! Tandurusa means deer horns, and we think you shouldn't mess with this one. It's a mutation of the Alocasia Portei and, being from Indonesia, loves a lot of humidity and water. Keep this tropical plant away from direct sunlight as this will cause the leaves to burn. 10 25 Frequent Light air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/alocasia-tundursa-jacklyn-african-mask-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/files/Alocasia-Tundursa-Jacklyn-4in_franco.png?v=1694033825 4526777466962 Vera Vera is that fit, healthy #spinningclassat6AM friend we all have. You know, the one that's on a KETO diet and looks at you funny when you order a creamy donut as a side to your eggs benny. While we go about living our best life, Vera is living her fittest life and we have to admit, she's looking pretty darn good. All those workouts have given her a little bit of a prickly character but thats ok. Nothing that a chocolate bar can't fix. Oh wait...We didn't mean that Vera... Vera? Vera! The Aloe Vera plant is actually a member of the succulent family, which means she doesn't need much water! Succulents store water in their stems, roots or leaves. Saving it for a not-so-rainy-day, shall we say? We think it's a pretty neat trick since all we have is that pesky water bottle we keep forgetting. But there's more to this plant than just survival skills; she's an air-purifying powerhouse, ensuring your space stays fresh. Even legends like Cleopatra and Alexander the Great were wise to her charms. Plus, she's incredibly low-maintenance, so you can relax even if you occasionally forget to water her. Just remember to place her in bright, indirect sunlight, let her soil dry out between waterings, and avoid exposing her to extreme cold. Keep it chill, and this Aloe will keep your space looking and feeling fresh. 15 40 Little Strong air purifier Partial shade Toxic!

This product comes with a total of three Hoyas in ~4" pots. The three musketeers, the three amigos, three peas in a pod. That is how we like to describe this trio of Hoyas. A bit slow to grow but quick to love, these easy to care for and pet friendly plants are going to LOVE their new home. Can we get a HOYAAAA?

Our Dracula is an Alocasia Azlanii, the rarest of the Jewel Alocasias, and is in high demand all over the world. Not only is he difficult to cultivate, but his coloration is also one hundred percent unique. That’s because Dracula’s glossy, deep green leaves are lined with red veins, all of them filled with the blood of Transylvanian peasants. It’s ancient, obviously, because Dracula doesn’t eat people anymore. He’s an undead man plant now and he’s got responsibilities. He needs to perform photosynthesis, look menacing, absorb water, and emanate an aura of mystery – all without terrifying the village people. Not to mention that he’s developed a severe garlic allergy and can never eat an Italian again. (If he did that kind of thing anymore, which he doesn’t. By the way, what perfume are you wearing? It smells really nice. Sort of coppery, sort of warm. You’re not wearing any perfume? Oh, well Dracula’s gotta go but it was nice talking to you.) Unlike Bram Stoker’s Dracula, ours won’t die in the sun. In fact, he needs bright, indirect light to thrive and live his best vampire life. Put him somewhere mildly humid and water him when his top soil is dry. So like...dry but not like dry-dry you know? More like moist but not wet you feel us? Drac  loves his humidity so spray his leaves whenever you're not busy scrolling through your feed or doing other important work.  Know that he loves you, even if it takes some time to get through his icy exterior. And if he seems creepy, that’s because he is. 10 16 Frequent Light air purifying Bright, no direct sunlight Toxic!

His leaves are adorable. On his home 'turf' (hehe) in South-America you'll find him creeping and crawling on the jungle floor. You see, Chuck here likes to get down and dirty in the shaded areas of the forest. He doesn't mind if bigger plant baddies grow all over him. Chuck loves the shade and will gladly take the protection others plants give. So if you're looking for a spot for chuck to shine, a shaded spot works best. Chuck is the sweet baby brother we all want to have. Isabella, Julia and Donna look after Chuck and they keep him out of trouble. Chuck has a rebellious streak but he has always been kind to his big sisters. To him, his sisters are the coolest kids on the block and he'd like nothing else but to stay close to them when you bring him home. Will you be nice and take one of his sisters home, too? 15 30 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-freddie-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/Calathea3coco.png?v=1587574009 6692445651026 Magnus Magnus (they/them) isn’t rich. They are wealthy. Rich buys sports cars, yachts and mansions with rooms that nobody even uses. Wealthy does philanthropy and donates buildings to universities for fun. Magnus stopped believing in love a long time ago, to them everything has a price - you just have to find out what that is. They are thick skinned with a heart of fire which is why they're known to some as “The Princess”. There are no living pictures of Magnus, anonymity is their secret power so please take it easy with the insta shots. Their name is only whispered among the 1%. The Alocasia Pink Princess, also known as a hard-to-locate plant, you don't find Magnus, Magnus finds you. Not the other way around. Magnus is also from the tropics and prefers humidity and to sit in a well draining soil. Magnus hates bright light, he’d rather operate his dark dealings in the shadows, away from prying eyes. Magnus is poisonous to animals and humans if ingested and even more so to  enemies plotting their downfall. 10 30 Frequent Light air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/alocasia-pink-princess-african-mask-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/AlocasiaPinkPrincess4inpot.png?v=1629487623 7066687176786 Chanel Chanel’s a certified bombshell. We’re talking Hollywood type beauty. Leading lady looks. She’s the kind of plant that turns heads in the room and keeps them turned. It’s not just her immaculate looks, it’s the air of elegance she carries too. Sure, she’d rock your world but she’d also clean it up too. Nobody’s the same after they’ve had a Chanel. You don’t even get a Chanel. A Chanel gets you. Do we even have to mention her full red lips? God created the world in 7 days...but he spent 8 on her. Because of the gorgeous way that Lipstick plants bloom, the flowers coming out of the bud make it undeniably similar to the tube of a lipstick. Anybody seeking a flower that will become a talking point should definitely pick up a Chanel. Too much watering can absolutely ravish a Chanel so be mindful not to soak the soil. These plants do need bright light (plus camera and action) but not all day long as their leaves can get scorched from too much sun. Place yours away from the window sill where it gets a few hours of sun for the best results. 15 25 Moderate Strong air purifier Bright indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly in spring and summer https://plantsome.ca/products/lipstick-mira-m http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/lipstick-mira-6in_ella.png?v=1675904035 4812057804882 Leroy Leroy or “The Pale Sword’ as he’s known online is the greatest hacker the northern hemisphere has ever seen. When he was 14 he narrowly missed out on ‘Juvy’ when he hacked into the school system and changed a few student’s grades to an “F”. He later claimed that they had bullied him so the judge took pity on him but really he was just jealous that they were so popular. Leroy can hack into anything, even the pentagon, which he did so but only left a word document that said “I’m watching you”. The Strawberry Begonia is a native to Asia and is covered in blue-green leaves and sends out runners like a strawberry plant. Legend has it that these runners are to prevent Leroy from being detected while he’s hacking into things. Leroy enjoys brightly lit areas that receive a lot of sunlight and preferably a spot where the wifi is good. Leroy only needs watering sparingly, he doesn’t want to get too damp when he’s in the middle of a hackathon. 10 17 Moderate Low air purifier Shade or partial shade Toxic Once every two years Once every three weeks https://plantsome.ca/products/begonia-strawberry-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BegoniaStrawberry4inpot.png?v=1609956441 7397037408338 Terrarium Pack (Plants Only) Oooops… did you kill your terrarium plants?

Luke is your ideal companion for any room, always up for a good time and low-maintenance to boot. With his slow growth and easygoing nature, he's the friend everyone wants. Luke has a slightly mischievous side and is mildly toxic, so keep an eye on your furry pals around him. Apart from his minor quirks, Luke is as laid-back as they come and adapts to most environments. Some have luck, some have Luke! Meet the ZZ plant, a stylish and resilient green companion that effortlessly blends fashion and personality into your space. When it comes to light, this charmer thrives in medium to low indirect light, making him a versatile choice for almost any room! Just remember, he prefers to steer clear of direct sunlight, as it's a bit too harsh for his taste. As for watering, the Zamioculcas is like a desert-dwelling maverick in disguise. Give him some room to breathe and let the top 2-3 inches of his soil dry out before you quench his thirst – he's all about sips, not soaks. Whether you're a newbie in the plant world or a seasoned enthusiast, the easy-going ZZ is the perfect fit for your indoor jungle. Other plants might envy his low-maintenance charm, but he's just too cool to mind! 25 60 Infrequent Low air purifier Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/zamioculcas-xl-zz-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/zamioculcas_for_web_bigly_black.png?v=1583868239 4636817719378 Dalton All good Westerns have a scene where there's a gunfight between a badass dude dressed head to toe in black with rough-hewn good looks, a glint in his eye and a wicked fast draw and some other guy dressed in beige. Dalton is that badass guy. One look at him and you'll get it. He is dark and brooding and tough as steel. But don't let his "anti-hero" status concern you. Dalton is really easy to have around, so easy in fact that he might even help you folding laundry or doing the dishes - we recommend that you keep your six shooter locked and out of reach however! Introducing the Zamioculcas Black Raven. This dark and mysterious plant is a true gem among houseplants. With leaves that shift from bright green to striking violet-purple black, this variety adds a touch of intrigue to any space. He's not your run-of-the-mill houseplant; he's considered "rare" for a reason! However, despite his unique looks, this variety is surprisingly low-maintenance and likes to be cared for as if he was just any ol' ZZ! Just find him a cozy spot with indirect light, and let his soil dry out a bit between waterings. Go team easy! 25 75 Infrequent Low air purifier Bright, Indirect to Low Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/zamioculcas-black-raven-xl-zz-plant http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/BlackRavenZZ3Gava.png?v=1609956535 7382311796818 Hannah Hannah is our fearless chronically online leader—and she never leaves her fellow minions astray.

It quickly became a lifelong friendship and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him pay us a visit here in Canada! One thing to keep in mind about ol’ Phineas is that he is very particular about high humidity (he loves it) and doesn’t stand for cold drafts or heater vents. He also prefers a hefty drink as soon as the top few inches of his soil feel dry. BTW - given the right amount of light and consistent humidity, Phin’s funky variegation will really start to shine! Phineas is an eternal optimist. To his older sister’s indignation, this green amigo constantly looks on the brighter side of things (which explains his need for bright, filtered light) and takes every moment as it comes. He’s creative, incredibly brainy and known around Plantsome HQ for taking on massively weird projects! All with a big, leafy smile on his triangular-shaped leaves . So just as long as Phineas’ mother is kept outta the loop, he’ll happily help you with building a rocket or fighting a mummy or climbing up the Eiffel Tower… you get the gist 10 20 Little Moderate air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic to humans and pets Once every 2 years Once or twice a month during spring/summer https://plantsome.ca/products/ficus-triangularis-variegated-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/FicusTriangularis4inpot.png?v=1636139601 6725551915090 Bebe Bebe always wants to go for drinks and party hard. Weekends or workdays, it don't matter much to her! And she doesn't discriminate either. You'll find her in underground dance clubs one day and an upscale jazz bar the next. She tends to bring an entourage of Calathea sisters everywhere she goes that is sure to draw a crowd. So if you're thinking of bringing her home, be prepared to meet her sisters too! Bebe is part of the Calathea family and just as striking as her sisters Pink, Julia, Brooke, Sophia and Susie. In fact, this pretty lady's got something not many plants have, stripes! But don't be fooled, it is hard work getting her to put those big beautiful leaves out. Just like any rock star there is a list of demands: a bright spot, no direct sunlight, regular misting of the leaves, fertilizer in summer and a little bit of water at just the right time! Fortunately she's a great communicator and will furl up her leaves to tell you she's thirsty!  10 22 Frequent Strong air purifying Bright north facing, no direct sunlight Not toxic Once every two years Once every two weeks in summer https://plantsome.ca/products/calathea-ornata-beauty-star-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/CalatheaBeautyStar4inpot.png?v=1633329370 4740543873106 Kiit Kiit’s shy. Unlike his Florida born-and-raised cousin, Tiki, who basks in sunlight and attention. He’s a little on the small side and is much more of a talker than a fighter. Kiit doesn’t know it yet but when he grows up he’s going to break hearts. Do you remember that kid in high school who suddenly became super attractive after one summer holiday? This is Kiit. Just give him time, love and care and he’ll be one of the most gorgeous things you’ve ever seen. Kiit is a perfect example that everything, even plants, need affection and attention, are you listening Mom?! The Alocasia Amazonica Bambino Arrow is one of many species of Alocasia (almost 100 unique species!). It's commonly known as an African Mask or Elephant's Ear plant. The dark leaves with striking white veins make it a popular houseplant. Those beautiful leaves can grow to up to 40 cm in length. Alocasia thrive in bright, indirect sunlight - as much as they can get. Like a lot of tropical plants, water is important - the soil in the spring and summer should always be moist - but not soaking wet. Alocasia can be a challenging plant to care for, but when you get it right, it is incredibly rewarding! 10 20 Frequent Light air purifying Bright, indirect light Toxic Once every two years Monthly https://plantsome.ca/products/alocasia-amazonica-bambino-african-mask-s http://plantsome.ca/cdn/shop/products/AlocasiaAmazonicaBambinoArrow4inpot.png?v=1609955248
