Looking to green up your living space? Indoor plants are more than just décor — they improve air quality, boost your mood, and bring a sense of calm to your home. But not every plant thrives indoors, especially in Australian conditions.
Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting out, here’s our guide to the best indoor plants to grow in your Aussie home, featuring low-maintenance favourites that we love (and stock accessories for!).
🌵 Snake Plant (Sansevieria)
Best for: Low light, busy plant parents
Also known as “mother-in-law’s tongue,” the Snake Plant is tough as nails. It thrives in almost any light, needs very little water, and can be left alone for weeks. Perfect for bedrooms, hallways, or shaded corners.
Leaf of Faith Tip: Use one of our decorative ceramic planters to make this architectural plant pop in your space.
🍃 Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Best for: Hanging baskets or shelf displays with medium light
Pothos is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. Its trailing vines and heart-shaped leaves make it ideal for shelves or macrame hangers. It’s fast-growing and incredibly forgiving.
Leaf of Faith Tip: Start cuttings in our PON-N-LECA mix for strong roots and a pest-resistant setup.
🌼 Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
Best for: Medium to bright, indirect light
The Peace Lily is a classic indoor favourite, known for its elegant white blooms and lush green foliage. It’s also a natural air purifier. This plant will let you know when it needs watering by gently drooping.
Perfect in: A moisture-retentive chunky mix from our growing media collection.
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Best for: Bright, filtered light and hanging pots
This quirky, low-maintenance plant produces baby “spiderettes” that dangle from the mother plant — perfect for propagation! It’s great for kitchens, bathrooms, or hanging near a window.
Leaf of Faith Tip: Use our clear pots to monitor root health and prevent overwatering.
🌿 ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
Best for: Low-light areas and forgetful waterers
With its shiny, upright leaves, the ZZ plant adds structure and greenery without asking for much in return. It tolerates very low light and only needs watering every few weeks.
Style it with: One of our modern ceramic pots.
🌳 Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)
Best for: Bright, indirect light
The Rubber Plant is a bold and beautiful indoor tree with large, glossy leaves. It loves stable light and minimal fuss, making it a popular choice for living rooms or workspaces.
Leaf of Faith Tip: Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and free from dust. Use our Protect Spray for extra shine and health.
