Rhaphidophora Decursiva | Dragons Tail (M)
$32.00
Pip’s nickname is Dragon’s Tail, because of his beautiful fenestrations. He’s known far and wide for his climbing abilities, which have been notoriously exploited by fairy tale princes with god complexes and sparkling teeth. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel? Let down your hair.” More like, “Pip, climb up this tower so Rapunzel can scale down your back. Then I’ll take the girl and the glory.” Doesn’t Pip deserve a palace too? Doesn’t he, at the very least, deserve a parade? Not only would he look amazing hoisted on the shoulders of peasants while they sang his praises, but he’s also been lying to his childhood friends for years about how famous he is and, at some point, they’re going to want to see the statue Prince Charming carved in his honor. And they’re going to want to take pictures.
How to care for Pip
Pip is both lovely and easy-to-care for, making him the ideal plant for beginners and long-time plant enthusiasts. Keep his soil slightly moist and place him in indirect light or shade. If you feel like that’s not enough, or you see his leaves start to wilt, you can mist him directly to keep him chipper. A natural born climber, Pip needs a pole to practice his skills on and to grow strong and tall. But remember, no matter how strong he looks, you should never, ever try to scale Pip. He won’t speak to you again and your mother will be embarrassed. She’ll tell her friends about you and no one will come to your birthday party. Pip will laugh at you while you sit in your kitchen alone, asking your god why he brought you into this world if it was only to suffer. Good luck.
Scindapsus Pictus | Satin Pothos (L)
from $18.00
Miley is the type that loves to just hang around. In tropical forests you'll find her chilling under the canopy of large trees so she is used to low light environments. That's great because the corner spot on the window sill is usually already taken up by your other plants (or plans for plants), right!?
How to care for Miley
Its not common to see a plant so stunning that is yet so easy to care for but Miley is definitely one of them. She's a great hanging plant but will do just fine in a regular pot as well. Her leaves have an almost 'satin' feel to them and her silver spots are a sight to behold. We commend her almost daily when we walk into the office here at Plantsome. Yep, she's a stunner and she knows it. "I can't help it, they grow on my leaves naturally." You grow girl!
Scindapsus Treubii Moonlight | Sterling Silver Pothos (M)
$59.00
She sings, she shops, and she IS the moment. Rachel is the shining star no matter what room she’s in and who she’s next to. Need a bit of comedic relief or a stunning love interest? Look no further. She’s the character everyone loves to hate because she’s always in the limelight. The truth is, she can’t help it. What she’d love to say to her haters is [redacted]. Whatever… we blame the writers.
How to care for Rachel
Other than the fact that Pothos plants are virtually impossible to kill, it’s also pretty neat that they come in so many different varieties and are fast growers. If you have a low light space that you want to turn into a jungle oasis, the Pothos plant is the one for you. Seriously. The Scindapsus Treubii Moonlight or Sterling Silver Pothos will thrive in most indoor lighting conditions and low maintenance when it comes to humidity. Pothos plants do prefer their soil on the moist side, but are verrry drought resistant. Some people refer to Pothos plants as Devil’s Ivy but they’re not a fan of that nickname…
Selenicereus Anthonyanus | Ric Rac Fishbone Cactus (S)
$22.00
$25.00
Jacques knows he doesn’t look like a stereotypical cactus. You don’t need to keep bringing it up. He knows that cacti are predominantly leafless but, guess what? Those wavy green things aren’t leaves. They’re flattened stems. And he knows cacti don’t normally look this gobsmackingly gorgeous hanging over a basket but it’s not his fault his flowers are so pretty. And, okay, your average cactus is a big prick compared to Jacques’s harmless, limp exterior, but that doesn't mean he won’t poke your eye out in a fight. So, go ahead, provoke him. Because Jacques is ready to eat some water-soluble cactus fertilizer or throw down...and he’s all out of water-soluble cactus fertilize!
How to care for Jacques
Jacques would kick you in the face if it meant he could get a nice spot in some bright, indirect light. Jacques would punch you in the gut (or groin even) for a consistent, biweekly to monthly watering schedule that takes into account his low tolerance for cold water. Jacques would literally burn your house down for monthly doses of fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Point is, watch out and download the Plantsome App so none of this has to happen!
Senecio Rowleyanus | String of Pearls (S)
from $9.00
Just about every self-respecting plant Insta page has a photo of this lady on his or her feed: the Senecio Rowleyanus aka Pea Plant aka String of Pearls or our little Peggy as we call her. The reason Peggy is so much in the spotlight may be obvious, her gorgeous strings of pearls. I mean just look at 'em! Draping down like a kind of green waterfall. A beautiful hanging plant to place in any modern interior. Peggy is very attached to her pearls, but she understand she has to let go of some of them occasionally. Do not be alarmed if some have come detached on arrival. She just creates new ones!
How to care for Peggy
A word of caution: Peggy is very possessive of her pearls. This beautiful necklace that she's wearing can become very long (60-90 cm!), so take this into account when choosing a spot. Furthermore, Peggy is a succulent from the drier parts of West Africa. She doesn't need a lot of water. She likes a bright spot but not in direct sunlight. Peggy's lovely locks may be a little short right now but with enough love and attention they will be Instagram-worthy in no time. We love you Peggy!

Zamioculcas (L) | ZZ Plant
from $22.00
Luke is your perfect living room buddy. He doesn't need a lot of looking after and grows slowly. Some have luck, some have Luke! Luke is also slightly poisonous, so be careful with pets. Besides those little quirks, Luke is pretty laid back and handles himself well in most environments.

How to care for Luke
Luke is a stylish and strong guy. This African Zamioculcas is an easygoing guy that will not bother you for a while. It doesn't matter much to him where you put him and he's almost never thirsty. Lucas is the perfect gift for the starting houseplant lover. Other plants are actually quite jealous of Luke, but it doesn't bother him much. Lucas is waaaaay to chill for those jealous looks. Other plants just don't "Luke" as good.
