Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera Adansonii)
This wonderful monstera variation is named for its exotic, heart-shaped leaves that develop the most delightfully strange little holes throughout the leaves. This plant loves to climb, but it can also do very well from a hanging pot. I have my monstera adansonii hanging in a south-facing window, and it’s growing so fast! It looks so beautiful in my bedroom, and it takes very little attention!

Marble Queen Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
The pothos, otherwise known as the devil’s ivy plant, is a very common houseplant that is notoriously easy to take care of. The plant can tolerate low light and doesn’t need a lot of attention. For a more exotic variety, check out the marble queen pothos. Same ease of care, with a more unique and exotic look!

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
The peace lily is an exotic, tropical plant that can be used as a dainty ornament or a striking display. This plant seriously grows like a weed, and it flowers beautifully in the spring time. Put this plant in a small pot and set it on a shelf, or put it in a large pot on the floor and turn your space into a jungle! No houseplant collection is complete without a peace lily (or several!)

Prayer Plant (Maranta Leuconeura)
The prayer plant is one of the most beautifully exotic and interesting houseplants that you can find. The leaves are not only strikingly decorative, they also have a velvet texture that is impossible not to touch! This plant gets its names from the leaves, which fold up at night and lay flat during the day. This plant is so easy to care for, and will add a beautiful touch of life to any space you place it in.
