Frequently asked questions
How often should you water plants with unusual and delicate foliage? About once a week, letting the soil dry out slightly between waterings — when in doubt, a slight lack of water is always better than too much for sensitive foliage.
Are these plants suitable for a sheltered balcony? Yes, provided the balcony is sheltered from direct sunlight and drafts — most selected varieties tolerate sheltered outdoor spaces as long as temperatures stay above 12 °C.

🌱 12 unique plants • 🏙️ Indoor & sheltered outdoor • ✨ Unique composition with every order • 💧 Easy care • 🎨 Unusual foliage • 📏 H25 cm | Pot Ø12 cm
The "Out of the Ordinary" box is a bold plant collection for botanical diversity enthusiasts. Twelve plants with distinctive charm, selected for their irregular foliage, surprising textures, and unexpected hues - from soft green to deep burgundy, golden variegation to contrasting veins. Each specimen reveals its own personality, and every box features a different composition depending on seasonal availability.
These unique plants naturally join Verdeia's unusual and rare plants collection and collector plants selection.
Light & placement
The plants in this collection are selected for their versatility — they adapt equally well to indoor life and sheltered outdoor spaces, making them a particularly versatile composition for apartments with a balcony or loggia.
- Indoors: bright living room, kitchen, office — any room with indirect light is suitable.
- Sheltered outdoors: shaded balcony, urban terrace, loggia — protected from full sun and wind.
- Light: indirect light to partial shade for most varieties.
Group several plants from the collection on a wooden tray or tiered shelf — the unusual foliage of each plant sets off the others and creates a very graphic plant-filled relaxation corner.
Watering & care
The plants in this collection are selected for their tolerance of the variable conditions found in urban interiors. Adjust watering to each variety received from the first few days, following the steps for welcoming a new plant properly.
- Frequency: approximately once a week — let the substrate dry slightly between waterings.
- In winter: space out waterings to respect each plant's dormant period.
- Fertilizer: liquid fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks in spring and summer is sufficient for the entire composition.
- Care: regularly dust the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to maintain their shine.
When in doubt, slight underwatering is preferable to overwatering — the plants selected for this collection tolerate occasional dryness better than constantly waterlogged roots.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
The collection's unusual foliage already creates a graphically rich ensemble — a few well-chosen structural plants are enough to transform it into a tropical atmosphere.
- To accentuate the composition's verticality, add a Ficus lyrata or a Kentia at the back — their upright silhouette provides an architectural anchor for the collection's freer, more irregular foliage.
- To enrich the textures, pair the plants in the collection with a Calathea Ornata or a Syngonium — their precise graphic patterns contrast with the wilder, more irregular appearance of the out-of-the-ordinary plants.
- For a cascading effect, add a Pothos or a Senecio herreianus in a hanging planter — their trailing stems complete the composition by occupying the lower level and adding movement.
- To enhance each plant individually, choose raw or colorful ceramic decorative pots — the uniqueness of each plant's foliage stands out even better in a container of its own rather than in a matching set.
Verdeia tips
- Combine light and dark foliage in your arrangement: alternating shades creates a natural contrast that highlights each plant individually — place light and variegated foliage between dark green foliage for an immediate sense of depth.
- Ensure effective drainage from the start: a mix of all-purpose potting soil enriched with perlite prevents standing water, the leading cause of decline in plants with delicate foliage — check that each pot has drainage holes before placing it in a decorative pot.
- Maintain a stable temperature between 18 and 26 °C: sudden changes and drafts weaken the most unusual foliage — a stable location away from poorly insulated windows and direct heat sources ensures dense, colorful foliage all year round.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
