- Bromeliads: These unique plants are iconic for those looking for tropical options that comes in many varieties. This striking epiphyte (air plant) does not require soil, and can therefore be utlized in many settings, even living walls and hanging gardens. The vibrant plant has multicolored leaves in red, green, purple, orange, and yellow, some exhibiting stripes, spots, and other variegated features. Bromeliads are slow-growing plants that can get as large as 18-inches tall.
- Aechmea: The Aechmea plant is a variety of bromeliad, but deserves special mention. The plant is an evergreen, featuring rosettes of distinctive variegated and spiny leaves of silvery grey. A long lasting vibrant pink flower grows in the center of the plant. In their natural environment, aechmea can thrive on trees, rocks, or other plants, although we can also grow them in containers with light and airy potting mix.
- Red Anthurium: The Red Anthurium plant is one of the most popular among plant enthusiasts. The plant is native to Central and South America, and is also known as the flamingo flower, tailflower, and painter’s palette. The Red Anthurium showcases vibrant red spathes and glossy green leaves, which make it an impressive addition to any corporate office or convention floor.
- Dracaena Colorama (Dragon Tree): The name of this plant points to its exotic beauty. Although there are several varieties of Dracaena, few add so much interest to your landscaping as the Colorama. This broadleaf evergreen perennial is related to all Madagascar dragon trees, but its unique coloration makes it stand out among its green-leafed cousins. Colorama grows slowly, reaching up vertically on a sturdy central stalk with long, narrow leaves that spread outwards. Although the tree can grow quite tall in nature, most plant enthusiasts keep the plant under 6 feet indoors. The colorama can exhibit small white flowers, but this is rare when cultivated indoors.
- Philodendron King (Prince) of Orange: This plant is a rare non-vining hybrid bred from the Philodendron and coveted for its unusual coloring. Young plants have vibrant orange leaves that slowly develop into green as they mature. During this process, a single plant can exhibit diverse shades of foliage, including yellow-bronze, salmon, and deep orange. Although mature leaves eventually become dark green, new leaves continually unfurl, showcasing their orange color.
