blue star fern
On the far left, we see the majestic blue star fern. This plant has beautiful slightly curled leaves with a blue-grey glow. Very chic and totally in line with the Collecting Memories style trend.
FICUS
In the tropics, Ficus is considered a sacred tree. Buddha is said to have found spiritual enlightenment under a Ficus religiosa. Such a specimen would be fabulous for your home if you're trying to love yourself more. There are lots of varieties of Ficus, so there'll always be one that suits you. For example Ficus Anouk, Ficus Benjamina, Ficus Binnendijkii, Ficus Cyathistipula, Ficus Ginseng and Ficus Lyrata.
BROMELIAd
Incas, Aztecs and Mayans used just about every part of the Bromeliad for food, protection, fibres and ceremonies, so much so that Bromelia is considered to be a 'gift from the gods' in its places of origin. As a houseplant, Bromeliad represents 'protection', a reference to the full, green leaves that surround the beautiful coloured part. Totally in line with Collecting Memories.
ANTHURIUM
Did you know that the anthurium emigrated from the rainforests of South America to Europe in 1857? It travelled with Austrian physician and botanist Dr Karl van Scherzer, who couldn't wait to introduce the Anthurium to an even wider audience. We know anthurium as an eccentric, bright plant thanks to its colourful bracts.
norfolk island pine
The rightmost plant in the photo is the Norfolk Island pine. This fresh green plant is used as an alternative to a Christmas tree in December. Thanks to its beautiful tiered of branches, it's ideal for hanging Christmas baubles and lights, and brings fresh greenness all year round.

On the bottom right, we see an old acquaintance. Hello, hydrangea! Did you know that this plant contributes to good levels of indoor humidity?
