Best statement houseplant for winter: Rex Begonia

We love this houseplant because it is a showstopper; beautiful leaves that feel velvety and cosy. You're going to love a Rex Begonia because of their wild leaf colours...we're talking metallic purples, ruby reds, and silvery swirls. We like to put these showstoppers in a dark spot with a grow lamp like the Instant Sun Grow Lamp. It brings a sense of colour and style into a dark corner. Try using complementary colours in your home decor...whether it's a purple throw cushion or velvet sofa - team that theme with your plant!

Why rex begonias are great houseplants to grow in winter:

• They are ok with cooler temps and indirect light (a winter win).
• Cold weather can actually make their leaves more vibrant and colourful!
• They compact and great to dot around the home

Best moody houseplant for winter: ZZ Raven

We are seriously obsessed with the monochrome houseplant. Did you know that this plant can have dark, black leaves? Pretty cool right! ZZ Ravens have that “you can’t kill me” energy that we love about regular ZZ Plants, plus they suit stylish black and white decor. 

Why ZZ plants are perfect to grow in winter:

• Tolerates low light and dry air.
• Slow grower, but incredibly hardy.
• Dark foliage adds contrast to lighter interiors.

Best cascading houseplant for winter: Silver Dollar Vine 

This is the easy care succulent that is going to transform that tired looking shelf, into a lush winter wonderland! The silvery coin shaped leaves give cool sense of texture that you don't find in standard trailing houseplants like the Devils Ivy. Just make sure you use an Instant Sun Grow Lamp; this houseplant will thrive in bright indoor light...even in winter.

Why silver dollar vines are great to grow in winter:

• Low maintenance once it's in the right spot
• Put it next to a window for optimum conditions
• Great for adding interest to a plant shelf
