Pothos

Native to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, Pothos are such easy and undemanding plants. They heart-shaped leaves trail well and come in a number of variegations. They are nice additions to liven up your office space, trail from hanging baskets, or along a book shelf. If you don’t get good lighting in your home or office, no worries!

Instructions for care:

• Light: Tolerates a range of lighting from low indirect to high indirect sunlight.

• Water: Keep Pothos on the drier side and water only when it needs a big healthy drink. Allow soil to dry out between waterings.

Ivy

Hedera, aka Ivy, has around 15 different varieties and green shades. Both great indoor and outdoor plants, the vines of ivies enjoy climbing up walls or trees. I like to think of them as nature’s garland. With a number of Ivies being variegated, they’re lovely decorative additions to any home.

Instructions for care:

• Light: Ivies thrive in bright direct or indirect light. They prefer to be slightly on the drier side.

• Water: Make sure the plant has excellent drainage so it can dry out between waterings.

There are 150 cultivated varieties of this plant. Their leaves are thick and waxy that grow into beautiful rosettes.

Instructions for care:

• Light: Full/Bright direct light. Prefers as much light as possible. The tips of the leaves will naturally turn red from a plentiful amount of sun exposure.

Haworthia

Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants, most of them native to South Africa. Their white pearly dots give them a distinctive appearance. Like most succulents, they’re slow-growing plants, but easy to care for.

Instructions for care:

• Light: Bright direct morning light and/or bright indirect light. White, red, or yellow leaves usually signifies too much sun. But if a plant isn't getting enough light, its green color will fade.

• Water: Keep on the drier side. Water when top inch of soil is dry. Avoid watering directly into the rosette to prevent root rot.
