Here are some house plants we love:
Swiss cheese plant
Monstera or Swiss cheese plant
Swiss cheese plants (Monstera deliciosa) are grown for their lush, glossy leaves. They add a contemporary, jungly feel to a room and are good air purifiers.
Money tree
Pachira aquatica or Money Tree
The money tree, Pachira aquatica, is a sought-after house plant that has attractive umbrella-like leaves and an easygoing nature. It's often sold with a braided trunk.
Snake plant
Sansevieria trifasciata or snake plant
Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) is a striking house plant, with sword-like leaves. Its pointed leaves have given it the nickname mother-in-law's tongue. There are several different varieties, all with slightly different shapes and leaf colours.
Dragon tree
Dracaena marginata or dragon tree
Dracaena marginata, or the dragon tree, is a houseplant that has elegant long, thin leaves with red edges. The lower leaves gradually fall away to reveal a thin trunk. The dragon tree looks good on its own and is also useful for providing height among a group of houseplants.
