About Leafy Foliage Plants
Some houseplants earn their place not with flowers but with leaves — wide, sculptural, and endlessly varied in pattern and sheen. A monstera unfurls its split panels toward the light; a calathea folds its painted ovals closed each evening like a book. These bold foliage plants have roots in tropical forests where size and drama help a leaf catch every filtered ray of sun.
