Plant Encyclopedia

Produces edible fruit when mature. The fenestrations develop with age and light exposure, making each leaf more dramatic than the last.

Bright Indirect

A chimeric mutation, not a hybrid. Variegation levels vary plant to plant and leaf to leaf, which is the point.

Bright Indirect

Survives real low light and months of neglect. The rhizomes store water underground, giving you a wide margin for error on watering.

Low Light

The trailing vines grow faster than almost any other houseplant. Gold variegation intensifies in brighter light.

Medium Light

One of the few plants that absorbs CO2 at night. Tolerates low light, low humidity, and irregular watering without visible complaint.

Low Light

Sensitive to being moved once positioned. Rewards stable conditions with rapid vertical growth and large, architectural leaves.

Bright Indirect

Leaves fold upward at night via changes in turgor pressure in specialized motor cells. Available seasonally when sourcing quality specimens is reliable.

Medium Light

Fenestration runs nearly to the midrib on mature leaves, creating the narrow flame-like sections the name describes. Currently propagating; notify list available.

Bright Indirect

White sections are genetically incapable of photosynthesis. The green sections do all the work, which means the plant needs more light than a standard Monstera to stay healthy.

Bright Indirect

Dark velvety leaves with white veining that becomes more pronounced as the plant matures. The quadrangular petioles distinguish it from similar velvet-leaf anthuriums.

Bright Indirect

Grows on limestone outcrops in Chiapas, Mexico, not in forest soil. Its rock-dwelling origins mean it handles drought better than most aroids and prefers fast-draining mix.

Bright Indirect

Feeds itself by trapping and digesting insects in its pitchers. Requires distilled or rainwater only and no fertilizer in the soil.

Bright Direct

Crawls horizontally along the soil surface rather than climbing. Needs a rectangular pot and lateral space, not a pole, to grow properly.

Bright Indirect

The leaf surface has genuine raised texture that looks like reptile scales. Originates from Borneo limestone forest understory, which informs its soil and humidity needs.

Bright Indirect

Single-leaf cuttings sold as sweetheart plants will never grow past the one leaf. We sell ours as multi-node vining plants that will actually develop.
