Add a new dimension to your home design with these houseplants and arrangements.
Statement Succulents
Succulents are plants with thick stems and leaves that are able to adapt in dry climates. Because they can grow in almost any type of light (although they prefer bright light), and because they dont need much water, succulents are some of the most low maintenance plants you can purchase. This makes them very desirable. After all, who doesnt want a house plant that is easy to keep alive and looks great? The best way to showcase these plants are in groups. They can survive in containers with other low-water plants and add an exotic color, shape, and texture to any group. The most poplar types of succulents are jade, aloe, and all of the varieties of cacti.

Most of the time, a tall houseplant is the first thing you see in a room and will draw your eye into the design of the room, especially the pieces surrounding the plant. If you want to make a statement in your living room, sitting room, or foyer, there is nothing better than a large, vibrant houseplant. The best tall houseplants include the fiddleleaf fig, big snake plants, money trees and a variety of palms.
