Types of house plants in this collection
Plants in this collection fall into five groups, listed here from the largest.
Tropical foliage plants
Tropical foliage plants are the largest group. The range includes pothos, monstera, dracaena, Chinese evergreen, alocasia, croton and bird of paradise. A calathea plant adds patterned leaves. Many others have variegated or trailing leaves that fill a shelf or corner. Most prefer bright indirect light, and some tolerate low light.
Cacti and succulents
Cactus plants and succulents suit sunny windowsills and busy owners. The range includes fairy castle cactus, cuddly cactus, aloe and a cactus mystery box. These plants store water, so they need a pot with drainage holes and less frequent watering than tropical plants.
Ferns
Ferns add soft, feathery texture to bathrooms, kitchens and bright shelves. The range includes cobra fern, crocodile fern and asparagus fern. Most fern plants like steady moisture and higher humidity, so they do best away from heating vents. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soaked.
Citrus trees
Indoor citrus trees add fresh green leaves and a bright, clean scent. The range includes a Calamondin orange, a Meyer lemon tree and a kaffir lime tree. Citrus needs plenty of light, so place it by your sunniest window. Water when the top of the soil feels dry, and turn the pot now and then for even growth.
Plant care
Plant care products help your plants grow after they arrive. The range includes natural plant fertilizer, plant probiotics and yucca extract from the Bios line. Pair them with a pot that has drainage holes and a regular feeding routine. Follow the label for how much to use and how often.
Check each product page for plant size, pot details and care notes.
How do you choose house plants?
Match the plant to your light
Light decides which plant will thrive. Most tropical plants like bright indirect light, about 1 m (3 ft) from a bright window. Cacti and citrus want more direct sun. Check each product page for the light the plant needs, and match it to the brightest spot you have.
Check the pot size
A listing for a 10 cm (4 in) plant usually describes the pot, not the height. Read the pot diameter, the plant height and whether the pot is included. A larger pot gives a fuller plant and more room to grow.
Plan your watering routine
Most tropical plants want the top 2 to 3 cm (1 in) of soil dry before the next drink. Cacti want the soil dry through. Pick a plant that fits how often you can water, and skip thirsty ferns if you travel often.
Think about pets and children
Some common houseplants are toxic to cats, dogs and small children. Look up the plant's botanical name before you buy. Place any plant you are unsure about out of reach. Ask your vet if you have questions about a pet.
Prepare for Canadian winters
Cold air can harm tropical plants in transit and near windows. Open the box soon after delivery and keep the plant away from cold glass and drafts. Check each product page for shipping details before you order.
Where do house plants work best?
Plants work best in the living room. Bright indirect light and a stand lift trailing pothos and bold monstera leaves to eye level. Our plant stands help you group plants at different heights and keep leaves off the floor.
Offices and low light corners suit tougher foliage plants. A dracaena plant or a Chinese evergreen copes with dimmer rooms. Add a decorative pot from our planter sets to finish the look on a desk, shelf or windowsill.
Kitchens and sunny windows suit citrus trees and cacti, which share the same love of strong light. A plant also makes a thoughtful gift for a new home or a first apartment. Browse more in our indoor plants collection.
How do you care for a houseplant?
Care for a houseplant by matching light, water and humidity to its needs. Use a pot with drainage holes and water until the excess runs out. Feed growing plants with a natural fertilizer every few weeks in spring and summer. Plan on repotting every year or two, into a slightly larger pot, when roots fill the container.

Houseplant FAQs
What are the best houseplants for beginners?
Pothos, dracaena and Chinese evergreen are good starter houseplants because they tolerate missed waterings and a range of light. Cacti suit sunny windows and forgetful owners. Choose the plant that matches the light in your room.
How much light do houseplants need?
Most houseplants like bright indirect light, which means a bright room without harsh midday sun on the leaves. Cacti and citrus trees need more direct sun. Low light tolerant plants such as dracaena cope with dimmer rooms.
How often should I water a houseplant?
Water most tropical plants when the top 2 to 3 cm (1 in) of soil feels dry. Water cacti only when the soil is dry through. Always use a pot with drainage holes, and empty the saucer after watering.
Is a pothos or a monstera easier to care for?
A pothos plant is usually easier because it forgives irregular watering and handles lower light. A monstera plant needs brighter indirect light and more space as it grows. It rewards you with large leaves.
Can I grow a Meyer lemon tree indoors?
Yes, a Meyer lemon tree can grow indoors. It needs plenty of bright light, ideally a sunny window, and a pot with good drainage. Water when the top of the soil dries, and keep it away from cold drafts.
Do houseplants need fertilizer?
Growing plants benefit from plant fertilizer during spring and summer, when they put out new leaves. A natural fertilizer every few weeks is enough for most. Skip feeding in winter, when growth slows down.
Will my plant arrive safely in winter?
Cold weather can harm tropical plants, so check each product page for shipping details before you order. Open the box soon after delivery. Keep the plant away from cold windows and drafts while it settles in.
