What are some good houseplant to buy?

I am looking for some new houseplants that are either cool, pretty, rare. or exotic.





I now have: caladiums, some cacti, aloe vera, venus fly trap, shamrock, mother-in-laws tongue, and donkey tail.





Do you know of any other plants that do well inside all year round?

Crotons have nice color and are relatively easy to take care of as well. You have a mother-in-laws tongue, which is also a good choice for low maintenance. I would go with a classic rubber tree plant for low maintenance and ease of growth.





To add to your carnivorous collection, maybe add a sundew plant, although I have never had much luck with the meat eating plants. lol.





Another unique house plant is the mother of thousands...the plant that grows its baby plants on the outer edge of its leaves. I have had luck with this plant so far, and I find it somewhat unique since it reminds me of something from the dinosaur age.
Reply:Go to your plant nursery and have a look at the Madonna Lily. They will put out a white flower if its placed near abit of sunlight coming from the window. If there's no sunlight it will just have its green foliage. Cheers
Reply:Here's one of my favorites, because it is beautiful, easy to maintain, and raises and lowers every night.





Maranta leuconeura or Prayer Plant, a native of Brazil, is a small tropical plant with broad oval leaves, up to 8 inches long by half as wide. The leaves fold upwards at night, hence the common name.





Blooming Time: Spring and Summer. The small white flowers have purple spots. Flowers are not particularly showy.





Culture: Maranta leuconeura need full shade and warm temperatures. We use a soil mix consisting of 2 parts peat moss to 1 part loam to 1 part sand or perlite. The soil should never be allowed to dry out. Fertilize weekly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to ½ the strength recommended on the label. Since the plant has a shallow root system it should be planted in shallow pots. The plant responds to being trimmed at least twice a year. Trimming helps to keep the plant growing vigorously. Re potting should only be done if the plant out-grows its container.





Propagation: Maranta leuconeura are easily propagated by division.
Reply:I like all the colors you can get African violets in. Also calanchoe comes in lots of colors. The leaves of pepperomia are cool looking too.
Reply:If you won't something with a bit of height then get a Chinese lucky plant. When it gets to tall all you do is cut the top off and replant it.

Reply:I think you should try a small baboo plant in your house.
Reply:I like spider plant %26amp; grape ivy - they're both very hardy and look great hanging in front of a window. An example of how hardy spider plants can be, I have two in vermiculite in styrofoam cups sitting in my kitchen window and they both have sent out babies. As long as they get water, sun and a touch of fertilizer, they're happy.
Reply:If you prefer exotic, anthuriums are relatively easy to grow, shoot out lily like flowers, available in red, white or pink, perennials, so they only bloom once a year and have very nice foliage year round, also the money tree, exotic and also a good choice as they are low maintenance, just remember to water at least once a week, and fertilize regularly
