Tree Philodendron
Philodendron bipinnatifidum
Tree Philodendron is a scandent shrub native to Brazil's Atlantic Forest, highly valued as an ornamental plant for its large, glossy, deeply lobed leaves. Part of the Araceae family, it can reach up to 4.5 meters in height outdoors. It is a versatile plant that adapts well to both indoor and garden settings.
Birkin Philodendron
Philodendron birkin
The Birkin Philodendron is a tropical epiphytic plant in the Araceae family, distinguished by its dark green leaves adorned with distinctive white or cream-colored pinstripes that create a striking variegated pattern. A relatively modern hybrid cultivar resulting from a cross between the Philodendron Rojo Congo and other selected varieties, it has become increasingly popular in recent years. Widely cultivated as an ornamental houseplant, it is prized for its attractive foliage and compact growth habit. Beyond aesthetics, the Birkin actively purifies indoor air by removing volatile organic compounds including formaldehyde.
Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendron cordatum
Philodendron cordatum is a fast-growing vining species native to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Distinguished from the commonly sold P. hederaceum (also marketed as heartleaf philodendron), the true P. cordatum features deep green, glossy, heart-shaped leaves and thrives indoors with minimal care. It is toxic to pets and humans due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals.
Spadeleaf Philodendron
Philodendron domesticum
Philodendron domesticum, known as the Spadeleaf Philodendron or Elephant Ear Philodendron, is a tropical plant from the Araceae family native to the Americas. Its spade-shaped leaves are large, glossy, and dark green, reaching up to 22 inches (56 cm) in length. It is a fast-growing climbing plant, highly valued as an indoor ornamental, where it purifies the air and provides a lush, tropical look.
Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendron hederaceum
Philodendron hederaceum is a climbing or trailing vine native to Central and South America. Its heart-shaped leaves and vigorous growth make it one of the most popular houseplants. It is resilient, adaptable, and an excellent air purifier.
Lemon Lime Philodendron
Philodendron hederaceum 'Lemon Lime'
Philodendron hederaceum 'Lemon Lime' is a chartreuse-leaved cultivar of the heartleaf philodendron, a fast-growing evergreen vine in the Araceae family native to Central America and the Caribbean. Its glossy, heart-shaped leaves emerge lime-yellow and hold their neon color best in bright, indirect light. In its natural habitat the species behaves as a semi-epiphyte, climbing tree trunks with aerial roots, but as a houseplant it is most often grown trailing from a hanging basket or shelf.
Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendron scandens
The Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron scandens, syn. Philodendron hederaceum) is an evergreen tropical climbing plant from the Araceae family, native to Central and South America. Its glossy, dark green heart-shaped leaves can reach up to 30 cm in length under ideal conditions.

It is distinguished by its smooth, grayish bark in young specimens, which becomes rougher and cracked with age, and by its long, drooping needles grouped in fascicles of five. In its natural habitat, it can exceed 30 meters in height, with a dense, rounded crown. It is a fast-growing species, drought-tolerant once established, and valued both for its timber and its ornamental use in temperate to warm climates.

Originating in Europe, it has become one of the most widely planted urban trees in the world, celebrated for its extraordinary tolerance of pollution, compacted soils, and drought. Its striking exfoliating bark—revealing creamy, olive, and tan patches—makes it a year-round ornamental standout. It can grow up to 30 meters tall with a wide canopy reaching 24 meters across, providing abundant shade in parks, avenues, and urban squares.
Poplar
Populus
Populus is a large genus of about 25–57 deciduous trees in the family Salicaceae, commonly known as poplars, aspens, and cottonwoods. Native to the Northern Hemisphere across North America, Europe, and Asia, these fast-growing trees can reach heights of 15–50 m and are recognized by their trembling leaves, wind-pollinated catkins in early spring, and cottony seed dispersal. They thrive in full sun and moist, well-drained soils and are valued for timber, phytoremediation, windbreaks, and ornamental planting.
European aspen
Populus tremula
The European aspen (Populus tremula) is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of Asia, known for its rounded, silvery-green leaves that tremble and whisper in the slightest breeze thanks to their flattened petioles. It can reach up to 25 meters in height, with smooth grey-green bark that darkens and cracks with age. In spring, before the leaves emerge, long greyish catkins appear, and in autumn the foliage turns golden. It spreads easily via root suckers, often forming dense clonal groves, and serves as an important habitat for insects, birds, and lichens.
Pothos
Pothos
Pothos is one of the most popular and forgiving houseplants in the world, prized for its trailing vines and heart-shaped, often variegated leaves. In everyday use the name "pothos" almost always refers to Epipremnum aureum (golden pothos), a fast-growing tropical vine native to the Solomon Islands. The name stuck from an old classification: the plant was first described in 1880 as Pothos aureus, and even after botanists moved it into the genus Epipremnum in 1964, the common name never went away. It tolerates low light, irregular watering, and general neglect better than almost any other houseplant, making it a favorite for beginners and offices alike.
Brake Fern
Pteris
Pteris is a genus of roughly 300 fern species in the family Pteridaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Commonly known as brake ferns or table ferns, they are prized for their graceful, arching fronds — often variegated with white or silver stripes. These ferns thrive in shaded, humid conditions and are among the most popular indoor ferns. They reproduce via spores borne openly along frond margins and produce no flowers. Pteris ferns are considered non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them a pet-safe choice for home and office.

Like other snake plant relatives, it stores water in thick fibrous leaves, letting it shrug off drought, neglect, and low light. In its native range it grows in dry, semi-shaded woodland, and for generations its leaves have been stripped for a strong, silky fiber once used for bowstrings, cords, and mats, which is the source of the common name.
Elephant Tusk
Sansevieria stuckyi
Sansevieria stuckyi, often called the Elephant Tusk plant, is a striking succulent from East and Southern Africa prized for its rigid, cylindrical leaves that grow upright like tusks, reaching up to 2.75 m tall.
