Modern Greenery

I strongly believe no space is complete without a gorgeous green houseplant, and while we’ve all seen the rise of succulents and the fiddle leaf fig in recent years, there are even cooler plants out there that offer a bit of a twist on your usual greenery. Below is a new take on the omnipresent fiddle fig tree which should help get our minds right in preparation for spring. This is also coming from someone with a major brown thumb, so needless to say these guys are all super low maintenance.

Chinese Money Plant: This little guy is ideal for a desk, kitchen counter or window sill. It’s easy to grow and those round leaves will create a cool look in any spot. Its architectural and modern and really just a nice departure from your grandma's fern.

Philodendron Plant: This Jurassic Park inspired plant features huge leaves and stems reaching in every direction, creating a dynamic look for a living space or an empty corner. I love the round slivers of light in its silhouette and how rich and green it is.

Spider Plant: Appropriately named, this spiky friend is low maintenance and adds a little edge to any shelf he sits on. Its great because it can grow up out and round or drop down and hang its tendrils for some really great profiles.

Palm Leaf Plants: All things beachy and island-inspired feels just right for the spring time, especially right now as we’re dreaming of this June gloom to pass. The Kentia palm is especially tall, airy and fabulous. It is modern, easy, breezy, greenie and makes me really happy.

Snake Plant: The snake plant has seen a rise in popularity in recent years. It’s a great plant for small spaces because of their vertical leaves, which I might ass are fun and splattered with different greenish hues. Also very easy to care for and are good in low lit corners.

Tall Cacti: For all you brown thumbs out there, look no further, this guy is for you. A standard tall cacti plant looks timeless and chic in any living space, but beware kiddos and puppies, they bite.

Jade Plant: An oldie but a goodie, this succulent-esque girl is great for indoor and outdoor spaces. Very low maintenance and damn near immortal. Great for a potted pop of green in the bathroom or kitchen. Little hint, if its pedals fall off, bury it in the pot and it will sprout again. Never-ending generations of Jade. Or if you have a strong one growing, share the love. Pull off a stem and plant it for friend.

Banana Leaf: This is more of a tree than a plant honestly, but never the less totally awesome! It takes a little TLC and needs a lot of space and light but man what a piece of plantie art!
