Piper Crocatum
Piper Crocatum, is a vining plant with pointed heart shaped leaves and bright pink veining. It prefers bright, indirect light.

Alocasia Polly, often called the African Mask Plant, is an upright, bushy plant with large, glossy, arrow-shaped leaves. The Polly cultivar is bred to stay smaller than the original plant. It prefers bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.

The deep purple undersides are a delightful surprise to those who love darker touches in their greenery.
Macgravia
Macgravia is a lesser-known vining plant that typically thrives in bright, indirect light, although it may tolerate lower light levels. It prefers its substrate to be kept consistently moist but not soggy. Macgravia enjoys higher humidity, so it will do well in a humid environment such as a terrarium or plant cabinet. Its delicate vines and small, glossy leaves make it a unique addition to your plant collection.
Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia'
Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia, commonly known as String of Frogs, is a vining plant that thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions as well.

This plant enjoys a humid environment, making it a great choice for a terrarium or a humid room. Its small, lobed leaves like miniature ivy resemble tiny squatting frogs, which make this a unique and charming addition to your plant collection.
Syngonium Podophyllum Albo
Syngonium Albo, commonly known as the White Arrowhead Vine, is a vining plant that thrives in bright, indirect light. It prefers its soil to remain slightly damp but should not be waterlogged, so allow the top of the soil to dry out before watering again. This plant enjoys a humid environment, making it ideal for a terrarium or plant cabinet. Its variegated white and green leaves are a stunning addition to any indoor space.
Syngonium Batik
Syngonium Batik, also known as the Batik Arrowhead Vine, is a vining plant with strikingly variegated leaves. It thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate lower light levels, which might cause the variegation to be less pronounced. This plant prefers its soil to remain lightly moist but not soggy, so it's best to let the top layer of soil dry out between waterings. It enjoys moderate to high humidity, so a terrarium or humid environment will help it thrive. The beautiful, almost embroidered leaves make it a standout in any collection.
Syngonium White Butterfly
This syngonium variety has almost white/light green leaves, with a slightly darker but still pale outline around the edges. It loves bright light and lightly moist soil. Like other syngonium once it is more mature it will want to climb!
Monstera adansonii
Monstera adansonii, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a vining species that grows best in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. It prefers its substrate to dry out between waterings, so ensure the soil is well-draining. This plant enjoys a humid environment and will thrive in a terrarium or plant cabinet where the air moisture is higher, encouraging its distinctive fenestrated leaves to grow.
Monstera adansonii Variegata
Monstera adansonii Variegata is the same as the standard adansonii, but variegated! They may prefer slightly higher humidity than their non variegated counterparts, to ensure their more fragile variegated leaves don't dry and brown. Consider giving adansoniia trellis or moss pole to support its desire to climb.
Black Raven ZZ (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
ZZ plants are easy to care for and considered low maintenance. They do well with medium light and can even tolerate low light conditions well.They don't require much watering and need well draining soil that is allowed to dry out between watering.Keep this plant away from pets, as it can be toxic!
Black Magic Colocasia (Elephant Ear)
These plants can grow up to 6 ft tall. They do well in partial shade and thrive with extra nutrients or fertilizer. The younger leaves may be lighter green, and darken with age. They require a lot of water, especially if outdoors. If grown indoors, keep away from dogs and cats as they can be toxic.
Ficus Ruby Rubber Plant
These plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate a bit of direct light as well. Too much can burn the leaves, but not enough might see the color become less intense. They need well-draining soil, consistent watering, and thrive in warmer temperatures and moderate humidity.
Alocasia Dawn Variegated
Alocasias thrive in bright, indirect light. Variegated plants prefer higher humidity than their non-variegated counterparts, and Alocasias prefer their soil not dry out completely between watering. They thrive in semihydroponic setups.
Tillandsia (Air Plants)
Tillandsia is another plant that is easy to care for, as long as you know what they need. Unlike many of the other plants I have featured on my site, This one does not thrive in high humidity, plant cabinets, or terrariums. High humidity will cause them to rot and fall apart. Instead, they need watering only about once a week. You can keep your air plants in places you can remove them from easily and soak them once a week, or when you notice their 'leaves' start to curl. Misting or keeping in high humidity environments (like near your shower) might be sufficient for some air plants, but for them to thrive most owners agree they need a nice weekly bath.
