Maybe you got into houseplants during the pandemic and now your collection of beginner-level greenery is thriving. You’ve resisted overwatering your snake plant, your pothos is spilling over its pot and your monstera is growing like crazy. What next?
Otherwise known as the maranta, this patterned variety is related to the calathea — but it’s lower maintenance. Prayer plants, which grow to about a foot tall and more than 15 inches wide, prefer bright, indirect light and their soil should remain a bit moist to the touch. “They’re definitely more tolerant of drying out than [calatheas],” says Caitlin Tuttle, co-owner of D.C. plant shop
. “They’re not viners, nor do they necessarily grow upright, but they tend to just shoot out and grow very architecturally.”While calatheas are trickier to care for than most of the other houseplants on this list, they are, as Cox says, “here to stay,” thanks in large part to their striking foliage. Among the most popular types is the peacock plant, whose leaves feature varying shades of green on top, with burgundy undersides.
