Scientifically named Scindapsus aureus, the money tree is a tropical wetland tree native to Central and South America. When kept indoors, this plant will typically grow between six and eight feet tall (it can grow over 60 feet in the wild). Believed to bring luck, wealth, and prosperity to its owners, this plant will thrive best in bright, indirect sunlight. The money tree does well in humidity and temperatures ranging from 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, but it should only be watered when the soil is dry. The money tree also purifies air polluted with synthetic chemicals from cleaning products. You can buy a money tree online HERE.

2. Succulents

With a few clicks, you can bring a variety of plants to your home with a selection of hand-selected live succulents. One of the most low-maintenance indoor plants, succulent care mainly involves ensuring your succulent is getting roughly 6 hours of sunlight per day and rotating periodically. Succulents only require watering when the soil is completely dry, but don’t use spray bottles for watering as this can cause brittle roots and moldy leaves. Also a pet-safe plant option, succulents are excellent winter plants. According to Erin Marino, director of marketing at the Sill, “They’re found in the desert, where it doesn’t rain a lot and there’s not a lot of humidity, so they’re not going to mind this at all during the winter.” Get your own succulents HERE.

With big dramatic dark green leaves, the fiddle-leaf fig tree will add a textural tropical look to any room. Native to the tropical lowlands lands of western Africa, it can reach heights up to ten feet tall whereas its dwarf variety called “Little Fiddle” grows up to 3 feet. The fiddle-leaf fig tree also exhibits foliar polymorphisms, meaning that its leaf shape changes and varies throughout different stages of its life. This is a fairly unique characteristic, as most plants’ leaves keep the same shape throughout their lives. This tree grows quickest and best in bright light and it can be extremely sensitive to the cold, benefiting from highly humid conditions and frequent watering. Check out fiddle-leaf fig trees HERE.
