7. Hoya Carnosa
Another variegated plant we think is ridiculously beautiful, and much easier than your variegated philodendrons and alocasias that seem to be all the rage at the moment. And the Hoya is so easy! Much like the ficus, it prefers bright light, but is happy to go completely dry between waterings
BUY NOW
8. Hypoeste
This little beauty is commonly known as the polkadot plant for its spotted foliage. It loves moisture, so is perfect for the overwaterers in your life!

9. Philodendron: Brasil
Aka heart leaf pothos – comes in multiple beautiful varieties but our favourites are those with bright yellow variegation. The brasil is an absolute classic, with random, striped variegation across the whole leaf. And the micans lime is a newer variety with completely yellow leaves. Each require moderately bright light to keep the yellow colouring strong, but are very easy to keep as they prefer to go completely dry in between waterings.
BUY NOW
10. Philodendron: Lime
The micans lime is a newer variety with completely yellow leaves. Each require moderately bright light to keep the yellow colouring strong, but are very easy to keep as they prefer to go completely dry in between waterings.
