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.

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.

Spanish moss, also commonly known as Old Man’s Beard, is a tropical evergreen epiphytic perennial native to tropical America. Its latin name is Tillandsia usneoides. The name ‘Spanish Moss’ is a misnomer as this plant is neither Spanish nor a moss. It is a bromeliad, and the name has nothing to do with where it comes from. The beauty, non-toxicity and easy care of air plants are attracting more and more people to start their collections.
Since it likes relatively humid conditions, growing it in a light, bright bathroom or kitchen can be ideal – but Spanish moss can also thrive in other parts of your home as long as you make sure it gets the humidity and moisture it needs. When watering, ensure that water does not collect between the leaves, as this can cause them to rot. It is a good idea to tilt the plant slightly downwards or shake it gently after watering to avoid waterlogging.
The plant does not require a pot as it does not need soil. However, you can choose a pot for decorative purposes or for another plant.
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.

Asparagus plumosa or asparagus fern is neither fern nor asparagus, although it looks similar and is closely related to the common edible garden asparagus. Its presence in the house brings a “forest” vibe and it really likes hanging in baskets on the terrace or balcony during the summer.
Indoors, the key to a robust asparagus fern is to keep the plant well-watered, bushy and dense so that the lace-like foliage forms an attractive mound.

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.

From aromatherapy to floral arrangements, there are many ways to enjoy eucalyptus. Eucalyptus plants thrive indoors as decorative shrubs with aromatic, fragrant leaves. They are not overly demanding, but a few guidelines will ensure optimum care.
Plant the eucalyptus in a large, conical pot for easy transplanting outdoors. Although resistant to drought, potted eucalyptus will dry out more quickly than in the garden. Be sure to water thoroughly until excess water drains away; good drainage is essential as eucalyptus does not tolerate waterlogged soil.
If you’re growing eucalyptus indoors, place the pot near a south-facing window so it gets plenty of sunlight. Regular pruning is necessary due to its rapid growth.
