Indoor plants can turn a house into a home! Our House Plant ‘Green Mix’ is the easy way to transform your living space with some healthy looking ‘greenery’.

Simply choose the size of your houseplant collection and we will send you a random selection of popular house plants picked from the species named below.

All of the plants in this collection are easy to grow and cope well with normal household growing conditions. Perfect for enhancing interior design or as a ‘house warming’ gift!

  • Each collection comprises varieties selected at random from the following species:
  • Dracaena fragrans (Dragon Tree) - Popular for its glossy, handsome leaves and stocky upright stem. Thrives in bright light, away from the direct glare of the sun, but is equally happy in shade.
  • Dracaena marginata (Madagascar Dragon Tree) - Slender green leaves with a narrow red-purple edge. Enjoys a position in light shade.
  • Chamaedorea elegans (Parlour Palm) - A beautiful Palm with elegant light green foliage and a compact, slow growth habit. Prefers a bright position with a little sun during part of the day. .
  • Ficus elastica (Indian Rubber Plant) - A popular ornamental plant with stiff, leathery leaves. Perfect for a bright room, but copes extremely well with a more shaded position. .
  • Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane) - Beautiful variegated foliage that will brighten up a dull corner. Position in indirect bright light. .
  • Codiaeum (Croton) - The waxy leaves are a myriad of spectacular colours – each one unique. Provide good bright light but avoid really hot direct sunlight.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.

Position house plants in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators, with a constant temperature above 16C (60F). Choose a bright position in good light, but away from the glare of strong sun.
Water freely between spring and autumn using rainwater where possible, and allow the pot to drain well after each watering. In winter, reduce watering but do not allow the compost to dry out. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth.
