Find the perfect match for your home!
Houseplants aren’t just decorations – they’re living, breathing companions with unique personalities that bring joy, tranquillity, and even a little drama to your space. Understanding your plants’ individual needs can help them thrive and reward you with beautiful blooms or lush foliage for years to come. Here’s our guide to houseplants andtheir quirky personalities!


Some houseplants love to ‘say hello’ with a welcoming scent as if they’ve been waiting for your arrival! These fragrant beauties infuse your space with clean, fresh floral notes that make you pause and take a deep, happy breath.
– Jasminium: Known for its intoxicating fragrance – this plant adds an extra special touch of elegance to your room.
– Miltonia aka Orchid: Also known as the “pansy orchid,” its delicate flowers not only charm with beauty but also release a sweet, subtle fragrance.


Some houseplants thrive on interaction and extra care, relishing a bit of pampering to show off their best selves. They’re like the social butterflies of the plant world, loving the spotlight (and your attention!)
– Begonias: These show stopping plants appreciate regular feeding, watering, and pruning. With their stunning leaves and flowers, they’ll reward your efforts with a dazzling display.
– Peace Lilies: Drama queens at heart, peace lilies wilt dramatically to let you know when they need water. But don’t worry – a quick drink will perk them right up!


Some plants have a natural yearn for exploration, climbing upwards, trailing downwards or spreading across your space and mimicking their natural habitats.
– Monstera aka Swiss Cheese Plant: This iconic plant’s dramatic, fenestrated leaves give it a bold personality. It loves to stretch and climb, making it a centrepiece in any room.
– Pothos: A hardy and lovely climber that can trail down bookshelves or climb up trellises, adding lush greenery wherever it grows.


Cacti are the independent, sun seeking introverts of the plant world. Their spines serve as a defence mechanism, but their low maintenance nature makes them perfect companions for busy plant parents.
– Cacti: These resilient plants thrive in sunny spots and require minimal water, making them ideal for anyone just starting out on their houseplant journey.
– Aloe Vera: While not as spiny as traditional cacti, Aloe Vera is a hardy plant with charm to spare! It thrives in bright light and needs infrequent watering, plus it has the added bonus of soothing gel filled leaves known for their healing properties.


Bring a little good fortune into your life with houseplants that symbolise wealth, prosperity, and positive energy – perfect for gifting or celebrating milestones!
– Jade Plant aka Money Plant: A symbol of luck and prosperity, jade plants are a popular choice for homes and offices
– Lucky Bamboo: Known to attract positive energy, this plant is a staple in Feng Shui practices and makes a thoughtful gift.


Some plants come with an air of wisdom and spirituality, connecting us to deeper meanings and ancient traditions – how exciting!
– Snake Plant aka Sansevieria: Also called the “Mother in Law’s Tongue,” this plant symbolises wisdom and is known for its air purifying qualities. Its upright leaves bring a sense of structure to your space.
– Prayer Plant: True to its name, the prayer plant gently folds its leaves together at night, as if in quiet meditation. A peaceful addition to any home!
