Strelitzia Nicolai
from 1.000 MDL
“Life is better with Strelitzia” – that’s how any title for this plant queen should begin. Strelitzia is a stunning display of large tropical leaves that can reach up to seven metres in the wilds of southern Africa – not indoors, of course. Its spectacular flowers look very much like birds in flight with their wings outstretched.
Do you know who Strelitzia’s cousin is? That’s right, the banana tree. It’s just less fussy and easier to grow indoors. They are often mistaken for each other because of their seemingly similar leaves. To grow lush, it needs a very well-lit spot away from the cold. It’s also very important not to pot it. Otherwise, it’s on its own.
Fun fact: The Bird of Paradise is so revered in South Africa that its flower is engraved as a symbol on the 50-cent coin.

Cycas palms, native to Japan and southern China, are true living fossils, having existed since before the dinosaurs. Their curved, rigid fronds seem as if they’ve been plucked from a scene in Jurassic Park. Although they resemble palm trees, they are actually cycads—a fascinating prehistoric species. They grow extremely slowly, adding only a few centimetres per year. It’s a plant that knows how to live grandly yet with minimal fuss. Learn how to care for it in the Plant Library.

Over the past few years, the Ficus Lyrata has been creating waves of admiration around the world. Thanks to its numerous appearances in popular design magazines, blogs and social media, it has been catapulted to superstar status in the plant world.
Any plant is a positive addition to your living or working space, but some plants have a much richer visual impact. Take Ficus Lyrata, for example. This plant is almost a work of art in itself. You can’t miss its violin-shaped leaves, crisscrossed with distinct, pale veins that add texture. The best part is that as the leaves grow larger, they become even more impressive.
Don’t worry if it loses a leaf or two after delivery – it needs time to adapt to its new home. It’s perfectly normal. It may also shed a few leaves in winter, and while it is small, the Ficus can live temporarily on shelves. Once it has grown, it will be placed on the floor because of its larger size.

English ivy (Hedera helix variegata) is one of the most common ivy species and the most widely grown. It is very easy to grow, both in pots and as an ornamental outdoor plant. You’ve probably noticed it on the outside of buildings and houses that look like entrances to a secret botanical world.
Potted ivy requires much less water. Before watering, check the consistency of the substrate, which should be loose but dry on the surface. Be careful not to overwater. For optimal lighting, position the plant near a window to ensure it receives abundant light without direct exposure. Poor lighting can reduce the number of leaves and cause them to discolour.
Indoors, it can be placed on a shelf or taller plant stand to allow it to create that eye-catching cascade of creamy white variegated green leaves. It tends to grow vigorously, providing quick results for those who want to transform their room or garden in a short space of time.

Plants often reflect the ambience of their native habitats. For a touch of Zen and Feng Shui, choose Lucky Bamboo, a plant believed to bring good fortune.
Lucky Bamboo thrives in a water-filled container, maintaining its decorative appeal over time. It’s low-maintenance: simply change the water regularly, place it in a bright spot, and there’s no need for fertilizer.
The plant does not require pots or soil. After purchase, remove the protective cover and place the plant in any container filled with water.
We have to admit it: bushy or prickly, with round or lobed leaves, succulents are incredibly popular. In some homes, you can find impressive collections or creative arrangements. The range of colours and textures is a feast for the eyes.
Succulents are a real blessing when we travel a lot, are too busy or simply forget to water them. This is very important! The leaves, stems and roots of succulents are thick and fleshy, which allows them to store water and withstand harsher conditions with such stoicism. In short, loyal plants!
In warm weather, water more generously if you notice that the soil in the pot has dried out. In late autumn or winter, water less frequently, once a month. Overwatering and waterlogged soil are the most common causes of loss.
Fun fact: the only continent without native succulents is Antarctica.
