Philodendron

Philodendron

Known for being very easy to grow, philodendrons have green or variegated heart-shaped leaves. They are tolerant of almost any type of light, including low-light areas, and humidity. Although stems trail down, their aerial roots enable them to climb up poles.

Why we love it: Stem cuttings of philodendrons root easily in water and can be inserted in outdoor floral containers as “spillers” or in hanging baskets in the garden for the summer.

Satin Pothos

Satin pothos is not a true pothos but requires similar conditions: bright, indirect light and moist, well-draining soil. Its silver markings on gray-green heart-shaped leaves create a velvety appearance. The green stems hang gracefully over pots.

Why we love it: Easy to grow, satin pothos can be used to light up any dark corner as a hanging basket or trailing container plant.

Burro’s Tail

Sedum morganianum

A burro’s tail succulent needs bright light but not a lot of water. Although it is grown for its blue-green foliage, it does bloom small red star-shaped blossoms.

Why we love it: The stems can get long and fragile, so if a piece breaks off, pot it up to root and produce another plant.
