Our inventory is constantly changing! Whether you're a houseplant beginner or a well-read plant parent, our boutique is here to help you find success. Below is a general guide on houseplants. Please note that some plants could cross over or work well in more than one category.

High-Light Plants

These plants should be reserved for the brightest parts of your home. They thrive in high-light conditions and love basking within 6 feet of a window. Bonus points if it's a south-facing window!

Examples Include:

  • Croton
  • Succulents
  • Cacti
  • Palms

Medium-Light Plants

As the true neutral category, these plants do well with indirect light and are best placed within a reasonable distance from a window. In rooms without windows, overhead lighting is a must!

Examples Include:

  • Philodendron
  • Syngonium
  • Calathea
  • Fern
  • Alocasia



And more! This category seems to be a favorite among our plant babies.

Low-Light Plants

Low-light plants are perfect for the areas of your home with little to no natural light. These relatively low-maintenance options are tolerant to low-light situations. Because these plants use less energy and are slow growers, they tend to be easier to keep alive!

Examples Include:

  • Aglaonema
  • Sansevieria
  • ZZ Plant
  • Cast Iron Plant
  • Peace Lily
