Hi everyone! Have you ever wanted more color in your houseplants? If so, this is a good read for you! I will be talking about some good houseplants to get if you want more colors in your collection.
A croton is a very colorful tropical houseplant. Their leaves are a mix of green, yellow, orange, and red. Crotons like full to part sun. In fact if they get too little sun their colorful foliage will lighten in color. They like a humid environment since they are a tropical plant. They can grow to be rather large so it is a good choice to get one if you are looking to fill a space.
My personal favorite colorful house plant is the fittonia, nerve plant. The colored veins in the leaves resemble nerves. The veins can be white, pink, or red. Fittonias are low-growing plants. They are referred to as a dramatic plant. When they need water they will faint to tell you. But do not worry, after some water and a few hours your fittonia will look good as new.
Another great colorful plant is the tropical ti plant. The ti plant has purple leaves and can be streaked with pink, white, and purple. You can find some variations that are red. Like the croton, keeping this plant in bright light will help keep its color vibrant. One thing to note is if you give the ti plant tap water its leaves will brown due to sensitivity to flouride.
What is your favorite colorful houseplant? Do you have a favorite variety of any of the ones I mentioned?
