Philodendron & Alocasia: tropical plants with spectacular foliage

Philodendrons and Alocasias are tropical plants especially valued for their decorative foliage. Native to the humid forests of America and Asia, these indoor plants instantly bring an exotic and elegant atmosphere to any interior.

Two highly appreciated tropical plants for indoors

Philodendrons are known for their generous, often heart-shaped leaves and their flexible growth, sometimes climbing or trailing. Alocasias, sometimes called "elephant ears," stand out with their sculptural leaves and pronounced veins that give a very graphic style.

These tropical plants easily fit into a green interior and can be combined with other decorative plants like those from the Pilea or Peperomia collections, which allow you to vary leaf shapes and textures.

Create a balanced plant arrangement

Philodendrons and Alocasias are perfect for structuring a space thanks to their large, decorative leaves. In a bright living room or office, they quickly become a focal point in the decor.

To enrich your plant arrangement, you can also add plants from the Small Indoor Plants collection or plants suited to lower light environments like those in the Low Light collection.

Tips for properly caring for Philodendrons and Alocasias

These tropical plants appreciate bright light without direct sun and a slightly humid environment. Moderate watering and well-drained soil help maintain dense, healthy foliage.
