Let's Grow!
Monstera (Monstera Deliciosa)
Our Monstera are gorgeous! Maturing in our greenhouse, they are full of fenestrations (the split-leaf shape they've become famous for). These happy plants love sunshine, hydrated soil and the odd spin to allow for even growth!

Rubber Tree (Ficus Elastica)
The dark, dramatic foliage of the rubber tree marks it as an absolute Foli fave! Their deep green leaves contrast perfectly with each pot option, and as new growth comes in it pushes out of bright, beautiful red buds! And the rubber tree can manage in almost any setting. The more sun you give it, the more it will thrive!

Birds of Paradise (Strelitza)
Tropical vibes on point! The famous bird of paradise (BOP) is a show stopper and will not disappoint. A life-long plant, it can be taken outside during summer months and brought back inside to keep the jungle vibes strong throughout the winter. BOP leaves will naturally tear as a defence against wind in the rainforest, so don't be alarmed; it's all a part of their look!

Jade is a go-to classic for our Foli people! Great as a gift, a small gesture of good fortune, health and prosperity, the Jade brings all the good vibes. This is an indoor/outdoor plant, perfect to transition to sunny spaces outdoors in the summer and a sunny sill when inside.
