Goeppertia roseopicta 'Dottie'

There are several dozen species in this genus. Native to the tropical Americas, many of the species are popular as pot plants due to their decorative leaves and, in some species, colorful inflorescence. They are commonly called calatheas or (like their relatives) prayer plants. 

This tiny little Brazilian native succulent that thrives in a climate that mimics those found in the average house. It is small in size and has a slow growth rate, reaching full maturity in three to five years. That same leaf shape is what gives the plant its common name. Each one looks like the shell of a miniature turtle strung together. Every tiny leaf on its trailing vine has intricate multi-colored patterns covering its surface. The colors become muted with age and eventually become bicolor

Native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia, Ficus Ruby Pink is a hardy, vibrant evergreen plant with red-pink and white variegation. Care is similar to other rubber plants, but the variegation requires more light than the 'Burgundy' variety. It won't do well in low light spaces, so place in bright indirect light. Water to keep soil moist at all times. Ficus elastica is a source of latex that is toxic to the skin, and poisonous if ingested, so pet-owners and those allergic to latex should b

The Stromanthe is a heavily variegated tropical plant native to Brazil. The plant's leaves can be variegated in shades of red, white, pink, and green with a purple underside. The stromanthe is in the same family as the Prayer plant as its leaves will fold up in low light.

 Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Black Raven'
amioculcas raven will survive in very low light conditions. That’s why it is suitable for use in the office or even in poorly lit rooms like bathrooms. 

However, for it to thrive and grow, put it in a very well-lit place while avoiding direct sunlight. Time is what makes the black ZZ plant turn dark. Fresh leaves start out bright green and gradually turn black with time. Very interesting and unusual. 

Olea 'Arbequina'

Gray-green foliage is narrowly elliptic, and silvery underneath. Small, spring flowers yield edible olives used for both oil production and fruit. Highest yield in warm summer climates. Self-pollinating.
