  1. Amazing list!
    Poinsettia has that elegant appeal so it’s always a great indoor houseplant.
    Money Tree, Peace lily, Crown of Thorns, Schefflera (Umbrella Tree), Spring of Pearls, Ti Plant, Bird’s Nest Fern, Anthurium, Croton, and Adenium are also really nice.
    I’m loving the Fiber-Optic Grass and Pleomele!
    Any idea where can I get/buy them?
    Thanks!
