Introduction

It’s National Houseplant Week 2025! This week celebrates the UK’s love of houseplants to make our homes and workplaces a more inspiring place.

Houseplants brighten up our spaces, lift our spirits, and even work quietly in the background to improve our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. They help us focus, boost productivity, and create a calming vibe that inspires creativity and melts away stress. They’re pretty much the unsung heroes of our daily lives. They’re there cheering us up on gloomy days and making even the iciest winter week feel a bit more alive.

Whether you’ve got a few houseplants on your window sill or a bursting collection (which we love to call an indoor jungle), we hope you spend some time this week celebrating the joy they bring into your life and deepening your relationship with nature (whilst staying indoors during this icy cold week!).

Our Team’s Favourite Houseplant Picks

We asked a few of our plant-loving team members to share their personal favourites. Here’s what’s thriving in their collections right now:

Philodendron Florida Bronze

The glossy leaves and dark foliage in the Philodendron Florida Bronze are really something special. I love the contrast between this and other lighter foliage in my collection.

- Sonia, Marketing Executive

Philodendron Florida Bronze

My Florida Ghost never fails to amaze me when it unfurls a new leaf. I just love seeing new growth that is super variegated!

- Amber, Horticultural Assistant

Alocasia sp. 'Jacklyn'

The unique, heart-shaped leaves of this rare plant make it a standout in any plant collection. Its textured, dark green foliage with those bold veins brings such a sense of depth to my space and it's surprisingly easy to care for considering Alocasia tend to give up in my care!

- Kate, Content Marketing Manager

Philodendron Heterocraspedon

It's hard to choose just one plant but I feel the Heteroscaspedon doesn't get enough of the spotlight. I love its long and narrow leaves and it's a real stand-out feature in my Malsbo cabinet at home.

- Iwona, Operations Manager
