Variegated Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’)
The Variegated Snake Plant, also known as ‘Laurentii’, is a tough-as-nails plant that adds a striking vertical element to any room. Its long, sword-like leaves are edged with golden yellow, standing tall and proud. This plant is not just a looker; it’s also renowned for its air-purifying abilities, making it a functional addition to your home. It’s incredibly forgiving, tolerating low light and infrequent watering.
Variegated Hoya (Hoya carnosa ‘Variegata’)
The Variegated Hoya, or ‘Wax Plant’, is a charming climber with waxy leaves and stunning variegation. Its leaves are a mix of green, white, and sometimes pink, with the added bonus of producing sweet-smelling flowers under the right conditions. The Hoya prefers bright, indirect light and a bit of neglect on the watering front, making it perfect for those who might forget to water now and then.
Variegated English Ivy (Hedera helix ‘Variegata’)
Variegated English Ivy brings a touch of the outdoors inside with its classic ivy look, enhanced by the white or yellow edges of its leaves. It’s a versatile climber that can add a touch of greenery to walls, shelves, or even as a ground cover in larger planters. English Ivy thrives in moderate to bright indirect light and prefers its soil to be kept on the moist side, but be wary of overwatering.
Philodendron ‘Brasil’
Last but not least, the Philodendron ‘Brasil’ is a vibrant and easy-to-care-for plant that boasts heart-shaped leaves in a striking pattern of green and golden yellow.
