Not only does the plant add personality to a space, but you can play with placement. Suspend one as a natural curtain in front of a window or let it trail over the edge of a side table. As the plant matures, it will grow 2- to 3-foot-long tendrils. Already own a string of pearls? Add other trailing succulents to your collection, such as the string of fish hooks or string of dolphins (yes, these are real plant names!). Unfortunately, southern Italy is currently battling an olive tree disease, but some online plant shops are selling live olive trees and fresh olive branches sourced from growers in the U.S. You can also opt for a faux olive tree if you want to keep this trendy plant around forever. Luckily, you don’t have to be a plant pro to keep a monstera alive. Bloomscape recommends placing your monstera in bright indirect sun and watering it once a week. One of the coolest features of the calathea is that you can observe its circadian rhythm. The leaves rise and fall from day to night as they catch the sun’s rays. An added bonus: This plant is also pet-friendly! Technicalities aside, growing your own coffee beans is an appealing idea, and while you wait, the plant will look vibrant and leafy on your kitchen counter. Head to your nearest Trader Joe’s while these are still in stock.
