Geogenanthus
Although geo is a dark foliage plant, its purple-black color makes it a standout for bright white or boldly colorful spaces. Justin Hancock, a horticulturist at Costa Farms, says that geo does prefer average to above-average humidity. “It’s a good choice for kitchens, bathrooms, terrariums, or other places there’s a bit more moisture in the air.”
- Light: Medium to high
- Water: Medium, but high humidity
- Color: Dark purple
Baltic Blue Pothos
Pothos is one of the easiest houseplants to grow, and Baltic blue is absolutely a showstopper for bright spots. Featuring elongated bluish-green leaves and a trailing growth habit, Baltic blue is a lovely addition to a room with bright, indirect light. “It’s especially effective in a living room, den, or other space where you can let it grow vertically, so the leaves become bigger and even more fenestrated with time,” says Hancock.
- Light: Medium to high
- Water: Medium, but allow to dry in between waterings
- Color: Blue-green
Silver Dragon Alocasia
Featuring thick green leaves with a silver overlay, silver dragon alocasia makes an elegant addition to your house plant collection. Hancock says it makes an excellent partner for geo due to similar growing needs, and they look great together.
- Light: Medium to high
- Water: Medium, but high humidity
- Color: Silvery green
Global Green Pothos
This brightly colored pothos is a new variety that features lovely green-on-green variegation. “We’ve found it’s just as tolerant to a range of light and humidity conditions as good old-fashioned golden pothos—just with a fresh new look,” says Hancock.
- Light: Tolerates low light, but grows best in medium and high light
- Water: Medium, but allow to dry in between waterings
- Color: Variegated green on green
Schumi Red Peperomia
This plant beauty offers metallic red-purple leaves with an interesting corrugated texture. It will provide a burst of color in a bright corner of your home. “It’s a small houseplant, which makes it a perfect workmate on your desk,” says Hancock.
- Light: Medium to high
- Water: Medium
- Color: Reddish purple
Stromanthe Plant
Stromanthe will convert you to a pink person. This pastel, variegated beauty features a pretty combination of pinks, creams, and greens. “We’re suckers for plants in motion,” says Sadie Oldham, the brand director at Greendigs. “As daylight fades, Stromanthe leaves raise toward the skies, showing off not just their mobility, but the striking color under their leaves.”
- Light: Medium to high
- Water: Medium, but high humidity
- Color: Variegated green with pink, cream, and purple
Moonlight Philodendron
Moonlight philodendron features frilly, deeply cut leaves in brilliant green. Like other philodendrons, it’s easy to grow virtually anywhere. “Any plant that gives this much greenery without demanding much in return is worth having in your home,” says Oldham.

- Water: Medium, but allow to dry in between waterings
- Color: Lime green
Dragon Tree
The dragon tree is slow-growing and maintenance-free—perfect for a beginner. It features long green and pink spiky leaves with pops of pink on its edges. “Its versatility means that the dragon tree is great as the center of attention, but it also slips neatly into a quiet corner,” says Oldham.
- Light: Medium
- Water: Medium
- Color: Green and pink
Anthurium
Anthurium features long-lasting, bold red blooms contrasted by large, glossy leaves. “Every home has a spot that needs a plant with diva status, and this is where your anthurium goes,” says Oldham. This plant does need attention, but will reward you with its eye-catching flowers.
- Light: Bright, indirect light
- Water: Medium, but high humidity
- Color: Green leaves with bold red blooms
Echeveria ‘Pink Frills’
Echeveria ‘Pink Frills’ features plump, rose-shaped compact leaves. It’s almost hard to believe it is a succulent. “It’s no surprise that it’s popular with interior decorators, florists, and wedding planners alike,” says Oldham. Like other echeveria, ‘Pink Frills’ will reward you with delicate blooms in the spring if you give it what it needs.
