Original and rare plants — exceptional species for your home interior

Tired of the Monstera and Pothos that everyone already has? This selection brings together the plants that turn heads: species with unusual foliage, rare varieties in cultivation, surprising shapes, and colors you don’t often see indoors.

Uncommon foliage

The Philodendron Melanochrysum unfolds long, velvety dark green leaves with golden iridescence — a texture no photo truly captures. The Alocasia Dragon Scale and Alocasia Silver Dragon have leaves that literally look like dragon scales, with deep veins and metallic sheens. The Begonia maculata, with its silver spots on a green background, has become a classic among enthusiasts but remains striking every time you see it. The Monstera Thai Constellation, with its cream splashes on green, is the most sought-after variety of the genus. Also check out our complete Alocasia guide and our comparison Philodendron or Monstera: which to choose.

Carnivorous plants: a fascinating collection

Nothing is more original than a plant that eats insects. The Sarracenia with their red-veined pitchers, the Nepenthes with their hanging pitchers, the Drosera covered in sticky tentacles, and the Dionaea (Venus flytrap) with its jaw-like trap — each species offers a different and fascinating capture mechanism. Explore our collections of carnivorous plants, Sarracenia, Nepenthes, and Drosera, and read our complete guide to carnivorous plants.

Architectural shapes and curiosities

The Platycerium (staghorn fern) produces fronds that look like deer antlers — a living decoration piece to hang on the wall. The Epiphyllum anguliger (fishbone cactus) develops flat stems with hypnotic zigzag cuts. The Rhaphidophora tetrasperma (Monstera Minima) offers mini fenestrated leaves on thin, fast-growing vines. And the Brighamia insignis (Hawaiian palm), with its bottle-shaped trunk topped by a tuft of leaves, is one of the rarest plants in cultivation — a species nearly extinct in the wild.

Unexpected colors

The Syngonium Neon displays an intense neon pink unlike anything else in the plant world. The Philodendron Prince of Orange unfolds new copper-orange leaves that gradually turn green. The Philodendron White Princess combines deep green with pure white splashes. The Croton displays a range of shades — yellow, orange, red, green — on a single plant. Find these species in our Syngonium, Philodendron, and Croton collections, and in our selection of decorative foliage plants.

Air plants and plants in jars

Our Tillandsia (air plants) live without soil, attached to a decorative support — living objects that defy conventions. Clusia and Monstera Adansonii in glass jars turn a plant into a curio, somewhere between a terrarium and a design piece. Discover our collections of air plants and decorative supports and plants in jars and vases.

Giving an unusual plant as a gift

A rare or unusual plant is a gift that makes an impression. An Alocasia Dragon Scale, a Begonia maculata, or a Tillandsia kit stands out and shows you took the time to choose. Our ready-to-gift plants come in decorative pots. Also read our guide on plants to give as gifts: symbolism and meaning. And for true enthusiasts, our collector plants bring together the most sought-after varieties.
