Horse Head Philodendron
Philodendron panduriforme
Philodendron panduriforme, commonly known as the Horsehead Philodendron, is a tropical climbing plant native to the rainforests of South America, including Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Bolivia. Belonging to the Araceae family, it is famous for its unique fiddle-shaped or horsehead-shaped leaves, which change appearance as the plant matures. It is an excellent choice for indoor environments, providing an exotic and tropical look.
Philodendron Pastazanum
Philodendron pastazanum
Philodendron pastazanum is a terrestrial, creeping aroid native to the rainforest floor of Pastaza Province in eastern Ecuador, also found in Peru, typically growing between 300 and 1,000 m elevation. Unlike many climbing philodendrons, it spreads laterally along the ground rather than climbing trees. It produces large, cordate (heart-shaped) leaves with pronounced ribbed venation and a velvety texture in deep green, distinguishing it from similar species such as Philodendron mamei and Philodendron sodiroi. The species was described by botanist K. Krause around 1940 and takes its name from Ecuador's Pastaza Province.
Oak Leaf Philodendron
Philodendron pedatum
Philodendron pedatum, commonly known as the Oak Leaf Philodendron, is a climbing aroid native to the tropical rainforests of South America. Its deeply lobed, oak-leaf-shaped foliage makes it one of the most striking members of the genus. As a natural climber, it grows vertically and can reach impressive heights when given a support structure indoors.
Comb-leaf Philodendron
Philodendron pinnatifidum
Philodendron pinnatifidum, the comb-leaf philodendron, is a climbing aroid native to Venezuela and northwestern Brazil, prized for its deeply lobed, glossy foliage. In the wild it grows as a hemiepiphyte, climbing tree trunks with aerial roots. It's a moderately easy, eye-catching houseplant suited to bright, humid indoor spots.
Congo Philodendron
Philodendron tatei
Philodendron tatei, commonly known as Congo Philodendron, is a tropical plant from the Araceae family, native to the wet tropical rainforests of northern Brazil, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela. Admired for its large, glossy, deep-green leaves (reddish-bronze in cultivated varieties), this species is a popular indoor ornamental plant. Unlike many climbing philodendrons, it has a compact, self-heading growth habit, making it an excellent statement plant for interior spaces.
Fern-Leaf Philodendron
Philodendron tortum
The Fern-Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron tortum) is a climbing aroid native to South American rainforests, prized for its deeply dissected, fern-like leaves. In the wild it climbs tree trunks using aerial roots and can reach several meters in height. Indoors it is typically grown on a moss pole to support vertical growth, which encourages larger, more deeply lobed mature leaves.
False Golden Polypody
Phlebodium pseudoaureum
Phlebodium pseudoaureum is a striking epiphytic fern native to the tropical and subtropical Americas. It produces elegant, deeply lobed fronds in a distinctive bluish-green hue, crawling along trees and rocks via creeping red-hairy rhizomes. Unlike its cousin P. aureum (Golden Polypody), this species is distinguished by its more glaucous, muted blue-green coloration and smaller stature. It thrives from cloud forests to tropical lowlands, making it one of the most adaptable ferns in the Polypodiaceae family.
Annual Phlox
Phlox drummondii
Phlox drummondii, known as annual phlox or Drummond's phlox, is a fast-growing annual native to Texas, prized for dense clusters of star-shaped flowers in red, pink, white, lavender and purple. It thrives in full sun and is popular in beds, borders and containers.

Red Robin Photinia
Photinia x fraseri
Photinia x fraseri, commonly known as Red Robin Photinia or Red Tip Photinia, is a vigorous evergreen shrub prized for its brilliant crimson-red new growth that matures to glossy dark green. A hybrid of Photinia glabra and Photinia serratifolia bred in the mid-20th century, it is one of the most widely planted hedging and screening shrubs in temperate gardens. In mid-spring it produces small clusters of white, faintly unpleasant-scented flowers, followed by red berry-like fruit that birds enjoy. Left untrimmed it can reach small tree proportions, but regular pruning keeps it as a dense, colorful hedge, with striking new foliage flushes appearing several times a year after each trim.
Yellow Groove Bamboo
Phyllostachys aureosulcata
Yellow Groove Bamboo (Phyllostachys aureosulcata) is a striking running bamboo native to the Zhejiang Province of China. It is named for the distinctive yellow groove that runs along each dark green culm, creating an eye-catching two-tone effect. One of the hardiest bamboos available, it tolerates temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F), making it suitable for temperate gardens in USDA zones 4–9. Its fast, vigorous growth makes it popular as a privacy screen, windbreak, and ornamental specimen. The young shoots are edible and notably free of the bitter flavor common to many bamboo species.
Moso Bamboo
Phyllostachys edulis
Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is the world's largest temperate bamboo, native to the mountain forests of central China. Its culms can reach up to 28 meters tall and 15 cm in diameter. Widely cultivated for edible shoots, construction timber, and ornamental beauty, it is also one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth.
Black bamboo
Phyllostachys nigra
Phyllostachys nigra, or black bamboo, is a fast-growing, evergreen running bamboo prized for its glossy green canes that mature to a striking jet-black over two to three years. Native to China, it forms tall, dense clumps of arching foliage and is widely used as an ornamental screen or privacy hedge. As a running bamboo it spreads via underground rhizomes and can become invasive if left uncontained, so planting in a large container or behind a rhizome barrier is recommended.
Cape Gooseberry
Physalis peruviana
Physalis peruviana, commonly known as cape gooseberry or goldenberry, is a sprawling perennial subshrub in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), native to the Andean highlands of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia. It produces small, round, golden-orange berries wrapped in a papery husk (calyx) that resembles a Chinese lantern. Only the fully ripe fruit is edible; the unripe fruit and all vegetative parts (leaves, stems, and the papery husk) contain solanine and other toxic alkaloids and should never be eaten.
Ombú
Phytolacca dioica
Ombú (Phytolacca dioica) is a majestic South American tree from the family Phytolaccaceae, native to the pampas of Argentina and Uruguay. Despite resembling a true tree, its trunk is composed primarily of water and soft tissue rather than wood, making it unusually light. It is a fast-growing, dioecious species — male and female flowers appear on separate plants. The ombú can reach 15+ meters in height with a broad, dense canopy that provides generous shade, and is celebrated as a cultural icon of the gaucho identity.
Norway Spruce
Picea abies
Norway Spruce (Picea abies) is a fast-growing evergreen conifer native to northern and central Europe, widely planted as a Christmas tree and ornamental landscape tree. It has a conical crown, dark green needles, and distinctive pendulous cones.

While the wild species can reach 18-24 m in forests, its compact cultivar 'Conica' (Dwarf Alberta Spruce) grows only a few centimeters a year, making it one of the most popular conifers for containers, bonsai and indoor/patio growing.
Japanese Andromeda
Pieris japonica
Pieris japonica, commonly known as Japanese andromeda or lily-of-the-valley shrub, is an evergreen shrub in the heath family (Ericaceae), native to Japan, southern China, and Taiwan. It is prized for its coppery-red new growth that matures to glossy dark green, and for its drooping clusters of small, urn-shaped white flowers that bloom in early spring. A slow grower, it thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, acidic soil.
Red Brilliantine Pilea
Pilea serpyllacea
Red Brilliantine (Pilea serpyllacea) is a tiny creeping plant native to the Andes of Bolivia and Peru. It is prized for its small, glossy leaves with reddish tones, often confused with Pilea glauca. It thrives in terrariums, hanging pots, and as ground cover in humid indoor settings.
Butterwort
Pinguicula
Pinguicula, commonly known as butterwort, is a genus of over 100 species of carnivorous plants in the Lentibulariaceae family, native to temperate and tropical regions of America, Europe, and Asia. Their leaves form rosettes with a greasy, shiny surface (hence the common name) covered in mucilaginous glands that trap, digest, and absorb nutrients from small insects, supplementing the scarce nutrients of the peaty soil where they grow. Some Mexican species maintain succulent leaves year-round; others from temperate climates form a winter bud (hibernaculum) during dormancy.
Austrian Pine
Pinus nigra
The Austrian pine (Pinus nigra) is a robust, fast-growing evergreen conifer native to the mountains of Central and Southern Europe, from Austria down through the Balkans and into parts of Turkey and North Africa. It forms a dense, broadly pyramidal crown with stiff, dark green needles borne in pairs and grey-brown, deeply fissured bark. Prized for its toughness, it tolerates poor, alkaline, and compacted soils, urban pollution, coastal salt spray, and strong winds, making it a favorite for windbreaks, reforestation, and street planting throughout temperate climates.
Scots Pine
Pinus sylvestris
Pinus sylvestris, known as the Scots Pine, is a majestic conifer native to Eurasia. It is easily recognizable by its bark, which becomes orange and flaky on the upper part of the trunk, and its blue-green needles arranged in pairs. It is one of the hardiest trees in the world, capable of thriving in Arctic climates and poor, sandy soils.
Cowfoot
Piper umbellatum
The Cowfoot (Piper umbellatum) is a perennial subshrub in the Piperaceae family, native to the tropical regions of the Americas, including nearly all of Brazil. It can reach 3 to 13 feet in height in its natural habitat, though it remains more compact when grown in pots. Its leaves are large, rounded to cordate (heart-shaped), with prominent palmate venation and long petioles that optimize light capture in shaded environments. The inflorescences appear as erect axillary spikes, yellowish-white in color, followed by brownish pyramidal fruits. It grows naturally at the edges of primary forests, secondary forests, riparian forests, and shaded riverside areas.
Pull-and-hold
Pisonia aculeata
Pisonia aculeata, known as pull-and-hold or devil's claws, is a tropical thorny climber in the Nyctaginaceae family. Native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean, this vigorous plant develops long branches armed with recurved thorns—like hooks—that cling to other plants and surfaces to climb. Its small, inconspicuous flowers appear in clusters during spring and summer, followed by sticky seeds that can trap small insects and birds. It is occasionally cultivated as an ornamental plant in tropical gardens and natural hedges.
Pistachio
Pistacia
Pistacia is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Anacardiaceae, native to Mediterranean regions, the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of the Americas. The genus includes iconic species such as the edible pistachio (P. vera), the mastic tree (P. lentiscus), the terebinth (P. terebinthus), and the ornamental Chinese pistache (P. chinensis). Adapted to arid and semi-arid climates, Pistacia plants are celebrated for their exceptional drought tolerance, longevity, and versatile uses spanning food, medicine, and ornamentation.
Chinese Pistache
Pistacia chinensis
Pistacia chinensis, commonly known as Chinese pistache, is a medium to large deciduous tree native to China and Taiwan. Renowned for its spectacular fiery fall foliage — turning vivid orange, red, and scarlet — it is one of the most reliable and showy ornamental trees for temperate climates. It grows 30–40 feet tall with a broad, rounded canopy, exfoliating bark that reveals salmon-colored inner layers, and small, inconspicuous spring flowers. Once established, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant, pollution-resistant, and largely pest-free, making it a low-maintenance landscape favorite.
London plane
Platanus × hispanica
The London plane (Platanus × hispanica) is a large deciduous hybrid tree, a cross between the Oriental plane (P. orientalis) and the American sycamore (P. occidentalis). It is instantly recognizable by its distinctive bark that peels away in patches to reveal cream, olive, and grey mottled patterns beneath, and by its large maple-like leaves. One of the most widely planted urban trees in the world, it is prized for its exceptional tolerance of air pollution, compacted soils, and drought once established.
American Sycamore
Platanus occidentalis
The American sycamore is one of the largest native hardwood trees in eastern North America, commonly reaching 75-100 ft (23-30 m) tall with a broad, spreading crown. It is best known for its distinctive exfoliating bark, which sheds in irregular gray-brown plates to reveal smooth, creamy-white inner bark. Native to riverbanks, floodplains and bottomlands, it tolerates wet soils as well as periods of drought once established. Small monoecious flowers appear in early spring (green male clusters, burgundy-red female clusters), followed by distinctive ball-shaped seed heads that persist through winter.
Elkhorn Fern
Platycerium alcicorne
Platycerium alcicorne, commonly known as the Elkhorn Fern, is an epiphytic fern native to Madagascar and East Africa (including Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and neighboring islands such as the Comoros, Mauritius, Reunion, and Seychelles). Like other staghorn ferns, it produces two distinct types of fronds: rounded, shield-shaped sterile fronds that clasp its mounting surface and protect the root ball, and antler-like fertile fronds that arch outward and carry spore patches on their undersides. In the wild it grows attached to tree trunks and branches, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air, rainfall, and decaying organic debris trapped behind its shield fronds. It never produces flowers or seeds, reproducing instead through spores and by forming offsets (pups) that can be divided from the parent plant.
Staghorn Fern
Platycerium bifurcatum
Platycerium bifurcatum is a striking epiphytic fern native to the rainforests of Australia, Java, and New Guinea. Known for its unique antler-shaped fronds, this plant naturally grows on trees and rocks, absorbing nutrients and moisture from the air. It produces two types of fronds: sterile shield fronds that anchor the plant and fertile fronds that resemble deer antlers. With proper care, staghorn ferns can live for over 50 years and become impressive living sculptures.
Philippine Staghorn Fern
Platycerium grande
Platycerium grande is a magnificent epiphytic fern native to the Philippines, renowned for its enormous bifurcated fronds resembling elk antlers. One of the largest species in the Platycerium genus, it can reach up to 4 feet in height. In nature, it grows on tree trunks and rocks, absorbing nutrients and moisture through its basal shield fronds.
Hill's Elkhorn Fern
Platycerium hillii
Platycerium hillii, commonly known as Hill's Elkhorn Fern or Green Staghorn Fern, is an Australian epiphytic fern from the family Polypodiaceae. Native to tropical and subtropical Queensland, it grows on trees and rocks, developing two types of fronds: flat shield fronds that anchor the plant and collect nutrients, and upright antler-shaped fertile fronds that give it its distinctive staghorn appearance. It is one of the most compact Platycerium species, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation.
Split rock
Pleiospilos nelii
Pleiospilos nelii is a small, stemless succulent from the Aizoaceae family, native to the semi-arid Karoo regions on the border of the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces in South Africa. The plant produces only one or two pairs of thick, nearly spherical leaves in gray-green to reddish hues, covered with tiny dots that perfectly imitate the surrounding stones and quartz gravel—hence the common name 'living stones.' In autumn, a new pair of leaves emerges between the old ones, while the old leaves wither and dry up, transferring their water to the new growth. From July to August, the plant produces large, fragrant, yellow-salmon daisy-like flowers that turn orange over time.
