Houseplants add a touch of greenery and a serene ambiance to any space, but we commonly don’t think of having houseplants in the bathroom. However, a bathroom - whether it offers low light or bright indirect light, is a great space for humidity-loving plants! 

Placing your indoor plants in the bathroom makes them easy to care for while adding a calming vibe for your next spa night. 
Bathrooms can come with a variety of different light conditions, so we’ll cover the best houseplants that can thrive in low-light bathrooms, but would also grow in moderately lit bathrooms.

You may, as most folks do, have a dark bathroom. Most bathrooms don’t come with big windows - even if there is a windowsill, it tends to be very small. 

If your bathroom has no windows, fear not - you can still grow plants with the help of artificial light, like our regular light bulbs. 

Although plants prefer sunlight, regular light bulbs can provide the same benefits as sunlight to plants that are tolerant of lower light conditions such as pothos or peace lilies.  

We’ll cover a few of the best plants for dark bathrooms below.

Pothos, scientifically referred to as Epipremnum aureum, are one of the most popular and easiest houseplants to grow. They are fairly forgiving of all kinds of water, soil, and light conditions.  

They can thrive in low light, medium light, and bright light conditions making them a perfect choice for any bathroom, hanging baskets, or windowsill. The most important thing to keep in mind with pothos plants for low light conditions is you’ll want to pick ones that are deep green in colors such as the Jade pothos or Neon pothos.

The darker the foliage, the more chlorophyll the plant has and the less light it needs to thrive. 

Variegated pothos varieties that have streaks of white or light green typically prefer brighter light conditions and may need the support of a grow light if grown in a no-light bathroom. You can always look at replacing your fluorescent bulbs with grow light bulbs instead. 

Ferns are another great option for low light or no light conditions. The Boston Fern, scientifically known as Nephrolepis exaltata, is a tropical plant that doesn’t require a lot of sunlight. It thrives best in warm and high humidity environments making them a perfect choice for a bathroom.

Boston fern produces sword-shaped, green-blue foliage, but keep in mind it is a slow grower, especially in lower light conditions. You’ll want to make sure that you keep your Boston fern’s soil consistently moist which shouldn’t be too hard if you’re keeping it in your bathroom.

Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is another great, easy-care fern that can thrive in low light conditions. Similar to the Boston Fern, Bird’s Nest Ferns have a slow growth rate, but this Fern’s fronds can grow up to 5 feet in length! If you have a spacious bathroom, a Bird’s Nest fern can be a great option for a corner to fill up space. 

They prefer to be grown in loamy, moist, and well-draining soil making bathrooms a great place especially if you live in a naturally dry region.

ZZ Plant, also known as Zanzibar Gem plant or Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. ZZ plants are characterized by their waxy green leaves growing form stems and a potato-like rhizome underneath the soil. ZZ plants don’t need much water and store water in their rhizome so they are best left ignored.

In its native climate, ZZ plants are used to having consistent moisture in the air. Although ZZ plants don’t need much water, they aren’t hurt by the moderate humidity levels that a bathroom can provide.

ZZ plants can thrive in different types of light conditions from natural light to indirect sunlight to low light. They are very forgiving houseplants.

Keep in mind that ZZ plants are toxic to pets (dogs and cats), so keep them away from your furry friends!

Similar to the ZZ Plant, Snake plants (Dracaena trifasciata, Mother-in-Law’s Tongue) are also very low maintenance and easy care plants. This plant grows erect, stiff, and sword-like leaves that come in a variety of shades of creamy green to deep green to variegated stripes and patterns. 

They grow in varied light conditions preferring indirect light but are also happy to adjust to low light conditions. They don’t care much for humidity, but moderate humidity in the bathroom won’t hurt the plant.

Snake plants are great beginner plants because they can easily be left alone and still thrive. It’s important to plant these in well-draining, sandy soil.

Oftentimes confused with the pothos, Philodendrons are trailing or climbing plants that are low-maintenance and can tolerate lower light conditions. If you’re interested in a Philodendron, we recommend picking ones with deep green foliage such as the heartleaf philodendron vs variegated or lighter foliage as those will thrive best in low light. 

Variegated philodendrons contain less chlorophyll which means they’ll need more sunlight than their green counterparts to grow. 

Native to the tropics, Philodendrons love high humidity and warm temperatures making the bathroom a great option.

Cast Iron Plant also known as Aspidistra elatior is a less known but popular option for dim bathrooms, especially as a replacement for the Bird of Paradise plant. Like snake plants, the Cast iron plant is nearly indestructible making it a great beginner plant too!

This beautiful houseplant produces arching, lance-shaped leaves that are dark green in color with a glossy texture and overtone. They’re a great aesthetic alternative to the Bird of Paradise plant that similarly has lance-shaped broad leaves. 
Being a low light tolerant plant, the Cast Iron plant is also a slow grower reaching a mature height of up to 2 feet. 

The good news is this plant is pretty disease and pest-resistant!

Dracaena genus of tropical houseplants and trees contains many cultivars like the common Snake plant mentioned earlier. Dracaenas can often be confused with Cordylines which are at times sold as Dracaenas but these two are completely different plants. 

Before Sansevierias became part of the Dracaena genus, Dracaenas plants were characterized by grass, spear-shaped leaves that grow from a thick, cane-like stem. When grown indoors, they can reach up to 8 feet in height. 

Dracaenas love consistently moist soil, warm temperatures, and moderate humidity which makes them a great choice as bathroom plants. Although they thrive best in bright, indirect light, they’ll tolerate lower light conditions and grow much slower. You can always supplement with a grow light to help boost growth.

Unfortunately, Dracaenas are toxic to dogs and cats due to saponins.

Chinese Evergreen plants, or also known as Aglaonemas, can provide a touch of color to a sea of green in a bathroom. Aglaonemas are popular low-light plants for beginners because they are low maintenance and very easy to care for. 

They are grown for their foliage which can come in a variety of colors - from shades of green to a variegated mix of green, pink, white, orange, and yellow. 

They grow best in well-drained soil and prefer to grow in dimmer light conditions. Because it loves warm temperatures and high humidity levels, Chinese Evergreens are a perfect choice for a windowless bathroom.

Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum) are evergreen plants native to the forest floors of the tropics growing faithfully under the dappled sunlight of jungle canopies. They start to bloom with white flowers in the early summer and continue through the year if cared for properly. 

Like other houseplants, they prefer moderate sunlight but can also thrive in low-light areas making them perfect for a dim bathroom. Plant them in well-draining, organic-rich soil and keep the soil consistently moist. Since they are native to the tropics, they also love warm temperatures and high humidity. 

As an added bonus, Peace Lilies are also air-purifying removing toxins in the air.

Be careful with furry friends as Peace Lilies are toxic to pets.

If you’re looking for a unique plant that’s less foliage driven and you’re interested in bringing good luck and serenity into your bathroom, then Lucky Bamboo is a perfect choice.

 According to Chinese traditions, lucky bamboo has a variety of meanings depending on the number of stalks in the arrangements. Two bamboo stalks represent love, while seven represent good health. 

They prefer to grow in lower light spaces and in consistently moist soil that’s well aerated. Since it’s native to tropical climates, Lucky Bamboo prefers warm temperatures and moderate humidity.

Unfortunately, lucky bamboo is also toxic to dogs and cats.

English Ivy (Hedera helix) is a woody vine that grows as a ground cover or climbs up walls and fences when grown outdoors. If you’re looking to adorn your bathroom with trailing plants in hanging baskets, English Ivy would be a great choice. 

Unfortunately, English Ivy is also toxic to dogs and cats when ingested.

Spider Plants (Chlorophytum comosum) are great beginner plants perfect for hanging baskets. They are super easy to grow and tolerate a wide range of soil, water, and light conditions.

Plant them in well-drained soil and ideally place them near a bathroom window that receives bright, indirect light and they’ll thrive well. They are also tolerant to dim light conditions, but will grow slower than usual.

They prefer to let their soil dry in between waterings and they are more tolerant of cooler temperatures but moderate humidity.

Fortunately, Spider plants are not toxic to dogs or cats!

If you’re looking for an easy care option that doesn’t require pots or soil, then Air plants (tillandsia) are the right fit for you. Part of the bromeliad family, air plants come in all shapes and sizes reaching up to a foot or two in length, and produce colorful blooms during their growing season in summer to early Fall.

Given the moisture levels in the bathroom, you probably won’t need to do much but leave your air plants alone in the bathroom. The moisture in the bathroom air will supplement and keep your air plants satisfied. 

If you feel like your air plants are drying out in the bathroom, you can submerge in water for 2-3 hours about every two weeks. 

Although often considered a difficult plant to care for, Orchids can really add a serene vibe to your bathroom alongside a pop of color with their beautiful and colorful blooms. Orchids prefer bright, diffused light making them a perfect candidate for the typically smaller bathroom windows.

Depending on the variety, Orchids generally prefer warmer temperatures and high humidity environments. However, you would be smart to plant them in well-draining soil with lots of orchid bark or alternatively, use LECA balls. Orchids require proper drainage and overly soggy soil that could come as a result of a highly humid bathroom could make your plant susceptible to root rot.

The good news is that these are not toxic to dogs and cats!

If you’re looking for something different than foliage, succulents like aloe vera can also be a great option for your bathroom space. Aloe vera plants contain nearly 300 species with the most common being Aloe barbadensis miller. 

These tropical succulents feature thick, lance-shaped leaves with jagged edges. They are typically colored green, but some varieties can add pops of red, purple, orange, or white colors. 

They do prefer moderate to bright indirect light, so they may not be the best option for a dim bathroom. If you have a small window in your bathroom, place your Aloe plant there for best growth. 

Aloe vera in particular also has medicinal properties that are soothing to the skin. A great addition if you’re planning a self-care day.

Unfortunately, Aloe vera is toxic to dogs and cats.

Best Houseplants for Bathrooms No Matter The Light

Air plants (Tillandsia) are some of the easiest plants to grow indoors and out. They don't require soil or really a container - you can place them on a shelf, on a desk, or in a hanging air plant container.

Editor Note: Shop our selection of Giant & Large Air Plants here.

Depending on the area you live in, air plants might require frequent watering. In Los Angeles, for example, the heat dries out moisture fairly quickly requiring a nice air plant soak every week. If you're generally in warm areas with high humidity, you probably won't need to mist or water your air plants as frequently opting for once every two weeks.

Although most of us, when we think of air plants, we think about smaller-sized air plants (2-5 inches). However, did you know that air plants can get much taller - even reaching 12-24 inches indoors and up to 7 feet in the wild? Here at Neverland, we offer a selection of Giant air plants that can reach up to 12-24 inches.

How to shop for the best succulent gifts, cacti, and terrarium sets for loved ones.

When you’re looking to give a gift to plant lovers, there’s nothing better than succulent plants. They are low-maintenance, easy to care for, and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Potted succulents can make for a great centerpiece on a coffee table, a bookshelf, or a windowsill. 

Beyond that, they can be pieces of art in succulent arrangements or perfect additions to succulent terrariums. These unique succulent gifts won’t disappoint the special ones in your life. 

If you’re looking for easy care alternatives, you can also consider cactus gifts or air plants.

To grow successfully, succulents need full sun or bright light, low amounts of water, and that’s pretty much it. We recommend planting your succulents in terracotta pots with drainage holes because they wick away excess moisture. 

Proper light is also key as your succulent will likely perish if it’s not receiving at least 6-8 hours of bright sunlight a day.

They are also commonly known as prayer plants, peacock plants, or rattlesnake plants. They are also known for their leaf movement which is aligned with the circadian rhythm, so you’ll see their leaves move up and down throughout the day. 

Calatheas are generally finicky to care for due to their water and humidity requirements. Their soil needs to be consistently moist without being soggy and they have high humidity needs. They thrive best in moderate to bright diffused sunlight. With proper care, they’ll reward you with beautiful foliage.

If you’re looking for a colorful, blooming option that’s also pet-friendly, then African Violet (Saintpaulia ionantha) is a great option. These low-growing, small plants can bloom several times a year and come in a dazzling variety of colors and leaf shapes. Similar to orchids, African violets have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but with proper care, these slow-growing houseplants can become one of your best centerpieces. They prefer to grow in well-draining, but consistently moist soil in partial sunlight (bright, indirect light).

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata), commonly known as a Sword Fern is a popular fern species native to tropical areas around the globe. When grown indoors, Boston Ferns are added as accents to spaces giving them a classic 70’s look. They grow sword-shaped, blue-green foliage sprouting tiny leaflets and growing erect arching only as fronds grow larger. These ferns are also slow growers, so you’ll want to invest into a large fern if you’re looking to fill a large space.

Bromeliads are exciting choices due to their variety of bold colors and tropical appearance. They are low maintenance plants that add texture and character to a living space. Although most don’t know this, air plants and pineapple plants belong to the bromeliad family! Bromeliads are prized for their thick, glossy foliage stemming from a central rosette. As bromeliads mature, they produce flowers with a gorgeous variety of dramatic colors from pink, red, to yellow. They prefer consistently moist soil and bright indirect light to thrive.

Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) is grown for it’s unique look and good fortune meaning in feng shui. They are typically sold with braided trunks and produce glossy, evergreen, hand shaped leaves. They can also be grown as bonsais and are generally low maintenance, adapting to most light, soil, and water conditions. They prefer to grow in bright indirect sunlight and need consistently moist soil. 

Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata, Nolina recurvata) is not a true palm, although it looks like one. Ponytail palm is actually a succulent meaning its drought tolerant unlike other types of palms like Cat Palm or Parlor palm. Ponytail palm thrives best in full sun and has low watering needs.

If you’d like to add a tropical feel to your space while maintaining a pet-safe environment, then look no further than the Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens). Native to Madagascar, Areca Palms grow in tall, clumping palms reminiscent of bamboo. When grown outdoors, they can be used as privacy screens while when grown indoors, they make for a great option for well-lit to moderately lit corners or to line hallways or create separators in large spaces. 

They are grown best in well-draining soil and thrive in moderate to bright indirect light. These palms are low maintenance and won’t require much trimming or pruning, although you may want to remove a dying frond every once in a while.

Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is an easy-care fern growing a series of spoon-shaped, green fronds that arise from a natural rosette. These ferns can grow up to 5 feet long making mature birds nest ferns a great option to fill space and corners. However, keep in mind that this variety is slow growing. They prefer to grow in moderate sunlight to shade making them a great low-light option. Grow them in loamy, well-draining soil in a pot with drainage holes. If you live in USDA zones 11-12, you can grow them outdoors on your patio year-round.

Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is a great alternative to the Areca Palm for adding a tropical feel to your room. This indoor palm grows in attractive clumps with lightly textured trunks. Their fronds are a popular choice in flower arrangements and wreaths because their leaves can survive for over a month after being cut from the plant. They are, however, slow growers taking a couple of years to reach their full maturity of anywhere between 3-6 feet tall indoors. They prefer to grow in bright, indirect light in well-draining soil. 

Polka Dot Plant (Hypoestes phyllostachya) is a beautiful foliage houseplant with variegated leaves that make it stand out from most other plants. Popular varieties of this plant feature green leave with mottled pink or white spots. Like other plants on this list, Polka dot plants are easy to grow and have a moderate growth rate. They are compact plants even at maturity making them solid options for shelves, office tables, hanging baskets, terrariums, or coffee tables. They thrive best in moderate sun exposure when planted in well-drained soil.

Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides) is one of the most popular houseplants and is commonly referred to as friendship plant or UFO plant. Pileas are grown for their unique foliage. UFO plant produces coin-shaped foliage off of a main, woody-looking stem. They prefer to grow in bright, indirect light and in well-draining soil. Make sure to plant them in containers with drainage holes.

Rattlesnake plant (Goeppertia insignis) is also primarily grown for its distinct foliage. As the plant grows, its leaves create a wavy pattern along the edges with variegated shades of greens. They also have eye-catching under foliage with shades of deep purple-red. 

These plants are compact at maturity growing up to 1.5-2 feet tall. Rattlesnake plants can be finicky because they require consistently moist soil. These plants prefer to grow in moderate sunlight but can tolerate some shade. 

Staghorn Ferns are a great option for pet owners and they add a unique look due to their deer or elk-like appearance. Since Staghorn Ferns are epiphytic, they can be grown atop of mediums such as wood blocks making them unique interior design decorations. They can be difficult to grow because they require frequent watering especially during the summer months. They prefer to grow in indirect sunlight, but can also tolerate partial shade.

Marigold plants are beautiful, annual flowers that bring not only a lot of color, but functional value to a landscape or a vegetable garden.

Marigold Varieties

How to Plant & Grow

How to Harvest

Marigold plants are beautiful, annual flowers that bring not only a lot of color, but functional value to a landscape or a vegetable garden. Marigold flowers range from tangerine, yellow, to deep red. Marigolds are known to attract pollinators like hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. 

They also make for great cut flowers alongside peonies, pansies, zinnias, calendula, nasturtiums, primrose, and other wildflowers etc. Deadheading your Marigolds regularly to use as cut flowers will also encourage your marigold plants to rebloom all season long.

They also make for great companion plants to a vegetable garden. Marigolds produce limonene which creates a fragrant scent that repels your garden variety pests. They can be grown annually and perennially depending on what USDA hardiness zone you are growing in. They prefer to be grown in full sun with moderate water application.


Buying Marigold Seeds - Best Marigold Varieties

French Marigold (Tagetes patula): French Marigolds are a beautiful variety that produces double flower heads typically with more than one color, whether deep orange to yellow. Shop our selection of French marigold seeds below.

African Marigold (Tagetes erecta): African Marigolds tend to produce single-color, pom-pom like flowers.

Heirloom varieties - Heirloom marigold varieties are classic annual flowers that tend to be open-pollinated flower seeds.

Other varieties include Signet marigold, White Marigold, and Pot Marigold (Calendula, not a true marigold).

The most ideal time to plant your Marigold flower seeds is in the spring, after the dangers of last frost have passed. 

You can start your garden seeds indoors as well. We recommend you do so roughly two months before the last frost. 

Once you have your soil medium ready, sprinkle the seeds all over the potting soil or ground. If you’re growing in seedling trays, ensure you place your seedling trays in a warm spot. You will want to allow anywhere from 4-14 days for germination. 

Once the seeds sprout and the seedlings are sturdy enough to move outdoors, we recommend you harden them off outdoors. After about a week, you can transplant seedlings safely outdoors.

If you’re planting outdoors or in a container, plant marigold seeds about 6-12 inches apart. 

Water daily for the first few weeks until the plant establishes. Most Marigolds will reach maturity 60-100 days after planting.

Harvesting and saving marigold seeds is straightforward. Once your marigold flowers mature, you’ll need to remove the seeds from the blooms. You will want to check that the seeds are mature. Softly use your fingers to split open seed heads and check that the seeds are dark.

If the seeds are pale, they aren’t ready to be harvested yet. Pull out the seeds, and place them on a paper towel. Let them air out and store them in a cooler container or a paper envelope until the next planting season.

While most are familiar with growing house plants in soil, air plants offer an otherworldly way to grow. Tillandsias don't need soil to grow and are happy to grow with air, in terrariums, arrangements or on your office desk and bookshelf. 

Airplants are bromeliads (yep, like the common Guzmania or the Pineapple plant) native to Central and South America! They are a perfect option for terrariums and greenhouses. 

Air plants are really easy to care for. They thrive best in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours every day. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for too long which can burn the leaves of these air plants.

Although air plants have air in their name, they do require regular watering to thrive. We recommend soaking your air plants in water fully every 1-2 weeks for 20-40 minutes. Some varieties of air plants will require regular misting in between soaks. If you live in an extra arid region such as Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, you will want to mist and soak more frequently.

The best way to propagate air plants is through division (offshoots or pups) or by stem cuttings.

When you think of houseplants, you are probably thinking of deep green foliage adding a streak of greenery to any space. However, pink houseplants can make for a wonderful home decor accent and add a pop of fun to any space, indoors or outdoors. 

One of the most sought-after flower colors is pink - from beautiful pink roses and outdoor perennials to colorful houseplants and succulents if you’re growing indoors.  Outside of red plants, pink plants are the second most common type of flower blooms that exist in nature.

Below, we’ll cover some of the best indoor plants and outdoor perennials that will add spruce pink color to your oasis.

Calatheas are part of the Marantaceae family with nearly 300 species of plants. Calatheas can be confused with Prayer plants which are also part of the same family, but are completely different species. Calatheas thrive best in warm and humid environments and are hardy through USDA zones 8 to 12. They are also grown for their beautiful foliage. Varieties like Calathea Ornata grow deep green leaves with beautiful, hot pink veins making them an exotic houseplant choice.

They can be finicky to care for so we don’t recommend Calatheas for beginners. They prefer consistently moist soil and a humid environment. They will thrive in at least 6-8 hours of bright, indirect light. However, avoid direct sunlight which can burn their foliage. 

Calatheas are a great option to grow in greenhouses or terrariums.

Fortunately, Calatheas are not toxic to pets!

Aglaonemas, also commonly known as Chinese Evergreens, provide a great option for both indoor and outdoor spaces. These trending houseplants are primarily grown for their variegated foliage with cultivars that produce leaves with varied colors - from dark green to silver, red, and shades of pink. 

Aglaonemas are slow-growing and easy-care foliage plants that have one simple rule: the more variegation, the more light! They prefer to grow in partial shade areas, although the more variegated varieties will require brighter light. They are pretty forgiving when it comes to soil and prefer consistently moist soil conditions. Be careful if you have furry friends because Aglaonemas are toxic to pets.

Rubber Tree plants, scientifically known as Ficus elastica are epiphytic trees that can grow up to 50 feet tall in the wild! Don’t worry, they’ll only grow up to 5-10 feet when grown indoors. Rubber plants, similar to Aglaonemas, will produce foliage in various colors from deep burgundy, nearly black color to variegated pink, creamy white, and green foliage. 

They thrive best in bright, indirect light and prefer to be watered roughly once a week allowing topsoil to dry in between waterings. Always plant rubber plants in well-drained, organic reach soil supplemented with perlite, pumice, or other gritty substances. Avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the foliage of these houseplants.

According to NASA, Rubber plants are also known as air purifiers removing toxins from your space. 

Rubber & Ficus Plants

Caladiums have become one of the most popular foliage plants to grow indoors and outdoors. Caladiums were primarily grown outdoors as part of the landscape or border plants for gardens, but they have recently gained popularity as indoor houseplants. They make for great foliage plants for shady or partial shade gardens with new varieties being tolerant of full sun.

Caladiums are great options for low-light indoor spaces. They produce colorful variegated foliage typically with mixed green leaves and pink. Some varieties like XYZ produce fully pink leaves. 
Caladiums are hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9, 10, and 11 or annually as a houseplant. 

Like Aglaonemas, Caladiums are also toxic to pets.

Stromanthe triostar, scientifically known as Stromanthe sanguinea, rewards its owner with bold, fully variegated foliage with impressive pink hues. Most commonly grown indoors, it can also be grown outdoors in warm and humid climates. 

This tropical plant is also grown for its foliage versus the blooms. They thrive best in partial sun, and partial shade so placing them near East-facing or West-facing windows will work best. You’ll want to keep their soil consistently moist watering them once or twice a week during their growing season. 

Polka Dot Plants (Hypoestes phyllostachya)

Another popular indoor plant grown for its brightly variegated foliage, the Polka Dot plant features green foliage with splashes of pink color throughout the leaves. Some varieties offer red or white splashes to offer more contrast against the dark green base. Polka dot plants are low-maintenance plants and thrive in warm climates when grown outdoors. 
Similar to other indoor plants, the Polka dot plant prefers bright indirect light for 4-6 hours every day. Plant in well-draining, houseplant potting mix and keep their soil consistently moist.

Unlike other plants on this list, the Polka dot plant is not toxic to pets! 

Tradescantia is a genus of 85 species of perennial wildflowers native to the Americas. They are commonly known as wandering inch plants, dayflower, and spiderwort. They are also primarily grown for their variegated foliage that mixes green and creamy to fuchsia pink colors. 

Given their trailing growth habit, tradescantia is a great option for hanging baskets indoors or outdoors in a patio space. They love bright light and consistently moist, but well-draining soil. 

Outdoors, these plants are hardy from zone 4b to 12a depending on the cultivar you are growing. Similar to Anthuriums, Tradescantia can be toxic to pets and humans.

Anthuriums, commonly known as Flamingo flowers, are a genus of nearly 1000 perennial tropical plants native to the jungles of Central and South America. They’ve recently become popular houseplants due to their heart-shaped flowers that come in vibrant colors from pink, to fuchsia, to red. 

These flowering plants thrive best in well-drained soil and with exposure to bright light. You’ll want to place them near East or West facing windows similar to Stromanthe Triostar. They’ll live up to 5 years when grown indoors with proper care. They are also toxic to humans and pets.

Begonias are commonly grown as outdoor plants lining the edges of walkways or gardens. They come in a variety of colors and are grown for their variegated foliage. Although Begonias do bloom, at times with pink flowers, they are primarily grown for their foliage indoors. 

Recently, they’ve become popular houseplants because of their low-maintenance nature. Depending on the variety you’re growing, some begonias prefer full sun and some partial shade. Wax begonias tend to grow in a mounded habit and bloom with double flowers in shades of pink, red and white. Begonias are also another great option for hanging baskets. 

Unfortunately, Begonias are poisonous to pets.
