Why popular plants are a good choice

Popular houseplants are not only beautiful, they are often very practical too. Many of these varieties are strong, need little care and adapt easily to different conditions.

Most popular houseplants are also ideal for beginners. They are popular for a reason, after all: many of them are fairly straightforward to look after. You do not need exceptionally green fingers to enjoy a beautiful, healthy plant.

The most popular houseplants

A handful of houseplants come out on top time and time again, and that is no coincidence. Here are our best sellers at a glance.

Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant)

The Monstera Deliciosa is also known as the Swiss cheese plant. It is an iconic plant with large leaves full of cut-outs (holes), and it is guaranteed to create a tropical mood in your home.

Strelitzia (bird of paradise flower or bird of paradise plant)

The Strelitzia is a true eye-catcher with large, fan-shaped leaves and a powerful, luxurious look. The plant is robust, with big splits and browned edges in the leaves. That is exactly what gives the Strelitzia the rugged character it is so well known for.

Ficus Lyrata (fiddle leaf fig)

The Ficus Lyrata is ideal if you love a statement plant with character. It owes its name to the large, glossy leaves that echo the shape of a violin. With its stately presence and distinctive leaves, the Ficus grabs your attention straight away.

Pachira Aquatica (money tree)

The Pachira is also known as the 'money tree' and is famous for its braided trunk and its symbolism of luck and prosperity. It is easy to look after and stores water in its trunk, like its own little reservoir!

Dracaena (dragon tree)

The Dracaena cannot be missing from this list. It is an incredibly tough plant that is almost indestructible, perfect for the busy plant lover.

How to care for your popular plant like a pro

Many popular houseplants are relatively easy to maintain. Plants such as the Sansevieria and the Zamioculcas (ZZ plant) barely need any water and even do well in a spot with little light. Ideal for anyone who sometimes forgets to water! Do make sure you know how much water your plant needs, so you can enjoy your green friends for as long as possible.

There are, of course, popular houseplants that ask for a little more care, such as the Alocasia, also known as the elephant ear. This plant needs plenty of light and just the right amount of water. Too little and it goes limp, too much and it can 'drown' and damage its roots. So this striking houseplant is one for the real plant lover!
