I've had some experience with Costa Farms' Trending Tropicals, and they've been a great addition to my indoor plant collection. The collection tends to offer a variety of plants that are both visually striking and relatively easy to care for, which makes them appealing to many indoor gardeners.
One standout for me has been the Monstera adansonii, also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant. It's known for its distinctive perforated leaves, adding an interesting visual texture to any space. In terms of care, these plants prefer bright, indirect light and do well with moderate watering; allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings helps prevent root rot.
Another plant from the collection that you might find intriguing is the Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata). While they're known for their impressive size and glossy leaves, they can be a bit fussy. They thrive in a consistent environment with bright, indirect light, and prefer humidity and stable temperatures. I've found them rewarding, though, as they make a bold statement in any room.
For anyone interested in a unique and slightly more challenging plant, the Calathea family might be worth considering. They require a bit more attention to humidity and watering conditions, as they prefer consistent moisture and higher humidity levels. Pebble trays or humidifiers can help mimic their native tropical environments.
A general tip for any indoor plant is to keep an eye out for signs of overwatering, like yellowing leaves, or underwatering, like crispy leaf edges. It's also important to ensure your plants are not exposed to drafts or sudden changes in temperature.
