ArticlesSeptember 28, 2026

Every home has a spot that needs something green. These ten are the plants we recommend first, because they look good from day one and keep looking good.

Start with the easy ones

Snake plants, ZZ plants and pothos forgive nearly everything. Once they are thriving, add a fiddle leaf fig or a bird of paradise for height.

  • Bright, indirect light suits most of them.
  • Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry.
  • Feed once a month from spring to late summer.
