Pilea

Pilea peperomioides

Pilea peperomioides, the Chinese money plant, has become one of the most beloved houseplants with its round, coin-like leaves on slender stems.

Poinsettia

Euphorbia pulcherrima

The poinsettia is the season's best-selling pot plant — its red, white or pink "flowers" are actually coloured bracts that light up the darkness.

Amaryllis

Hippeastrum

The amaryllis is winter's drama: a bare bulb that sends up a stem crowned with trumpet flowers sometimes over 20 cm across.

Light and Placement

Understand how light affects your plants and find the perfect spot in your home for each species. The most important variable in plant care — but the most overlooked.

Fiddle-leaf Fig

Ficus lyrata

The fiddle-leaf fig's large, violin-shaped leaves and impressive growth have made it an icon of interior design — but it requires the right placement and consistency to thrive.
