Houseplants [A Visual Index]

House of Plants…

Yes, I admit it. I’m a Crazy Plant Lady. And yes. Our house looks like we’re slowly losing a game of Jumanji. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😉 I particularly enjoy the odd and usual plants, plants with variegated leaves, and plants with unique leaf shapes.

I created this index to help give you ideas for plants to add to your collection, as well as help you identify new plants you spot while out and about.

In no particular order, here is a list of the plants I have in our house. I’ve written detailed plant profile articles about some of them – just click the links to read more (more articles coming soon), and click House Plants to see all the articles I’ve written about plants and planters. Click the images to enlarge them.

This visual index is an ever-growing list, so check back often for more plant ideas and suggestions.
