The 5 Best Houseplants to Have in Your Home

There’s nothing quite like a touch of green to make a house feel like a home. Plants purify the air, lift your mood, and bring a sense of calm to any space all while adding natural beauty and personality. We love adding houseplants to our office and home, and after speaking to our friends at GrowTropicals, these five houseplants are our top picks for every home.

(P.S. You can shop all of them from our wonderful friends at GrowTropicals — the experts in quality, healthy plants.)

Asparagus Setaceus ‘Plumosus’ AKA Asparagus Fern

Delicate, feathery, and endlessly elegant. The Asparagus Fern is a timeless favourite. Despite its name, it’s not a true fern, but it certainly delivers that soft, airy texture that brightens any corner. It thrives in bright, indirect light and adds a graceful, almost ethereal touch to bookshelves or hanging planters.

Philodendron scandens ‘Brasil’

If you’re after something both low-maintenance and full of personality, this heart-leaf Philodendron is your match. Its lush green leaves streaked with bright lime give off serious tropical vibes. Perfect for trailing down a shelf or climbing a moss pole, the ‘Brasil’ is forgiving, fast-growing, and instantly rewarding.

MadeKind tip: Wipe its glossy leaves every few weeks with a damp cloth to keep dust at bay and let those vibrant colours shine.

Rhaphidophora decursiva

This statement plant brings drama and scale without the fuss. Known for its deeply lobed leaves that mature beautifully over time, Rhaphidophora decursiva is fast-growing, resilient, and easy to care for.

MadeKind tip: It loves to climb! Give it a sturdy support pole and watch it transform your living space into a mini urban jungle.

Peace Lily

A classic for good reason. The Peace Lily is not only symbolic but also an excellent air purifier. Its lush, deep-green leaves and white blooms bring serenity to any room, especially bedrooms or offices.

Peace Lilies prefer their soil slightly moist, but don’t overwater. They’ll even let you know when they’re thirsty (their leaves droop a little as a gentle reminder!)

Gynura aurantiaca AKA Purple Passion Plant

Looking to add a splash of colour? This striking plant is covered in soft, velvety leaves with a vivid purple hue that looks almost electric in the right light. It’s a bold, beautiful way to add contrast to your green collection.

MadeKind tip: Give it bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colour, and trim it regularly to keep it full and bushy.
