Plants

Asparagus setaceus, commonly called asparagus fern, is not in fact a fern. It is a bushy, evergreen, twining vine with wiry, spiny, scrambling or climbing stems that typically grow to 10-20′ long. It features feathery, fern-like flattened sprays of bright green stems, small white summer flowers and deep purple berries. The true leaves of this plant are tiny dry scales. The structures which appear to be leaves are flattened shoots (modified stems) called cladodes or cladophylls on which the flowers and fruits are borne. Asparagus ferns are easy-to-care-for plants that grow as houseplants and in shady gardens. Asparagus ferns perform best in organically rich, well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant once they’re established in the garden, the plants should be kept evenly moist.

Philodendron erubescens ‘White Princess’ is an evergreen perennial cultivar in the Araceae family. It climbs through the use of aerial roots and will benefit from a moss pole to encourage its climbing habit. Philodendron White Princess likes a position in bright, indirect light, in well-draining soil for optimal growth. It also benefits from the highest humidity you can provide.

Philodendron Martianum commonly known as Fatboy is a rare variety. This is an easy care plant that can adapt to all kinds of conditions as long as you keep it warm. Water once the top soil feels dry, droopy leaves can mean too much or not enough water. A Philodendron can survive in low light but grows faster and looks better in medium light.

Philodendron selloum ‘Sun Red’ is an upright, clumping plant whose large, oval, leathery leaves start off bright red, then burgundy or red-purple and eventually green when mature. Philodendron Sun Red thrives in bright indirect light, warm and humid conditions and moderately moist well-drained soils that are rich in organic matter coupled with monthly feeding during the growing season.

The tree is also known as a potbelly fig as well as Taiwan ficus or Indian laurel fig. Ficus trees grow very quickly and make excellent indoor plants. This is a tropical tree, so it needs to be indoors where temperatures are 60 to 75 Fahrenheit. The tree needs plenty of bright light but it should be indirect. Avoid the southern exposure where the sun may burn leaves. Outdoors, the tree requires sun to shady conditions. ficus ginseng is often recommended for beginning bonsai growers. This is because it is such an easy tree to grow.

Peace lilies (Spathiphyllum species) are attractive indoor foliage plants that produce showy white flowers. They are one of the few foliage plants that will flower in low light. Peace lilies are easy to grow, making them a popular choice for houseplants and one of the top selections of air-purifying indoor plants. Peace lilies will flourish in almost any well-drained potting mix. Soil should be kept moist but not soggy and allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. If the soil is allowed to dry out excessively, the plant will wilt, and the leaves and edges will turn yellow.
