Our Best-Selling Houseplants: The Plants Our Customers Love Most

At Rooted Treasures Farms, every plant we ship is chosen with care — but some rise above the rest. These are the plants our customers return for again and again, the ones that light up living rooms, purify the air, and spark a lifelong love of greenery. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting your indoor jungle, explore our full houseplant collection and discover why these fan favorites keep flying off our shelves.

🌿 #1 — Stromanthe Triostar

Stromanthe Triostar

The Stromanthe Triostar is our crown jewel — a breathtaking tropical plant with leaves painted in shades of deep green, creamy white, and vivid pink. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, this plant thrives in bright indirect light and loves humidity, making it a showstopper in bathrooms, kitchens, and sunlit living rooms alike.

Research from the NASA Clean Air Study confirms that tropical foliage plants like the Stromanthe improve indoor air quality — a beautiful bonus to their already stunning appearance.

💡 Pro Tip: Mist the leaves regularly or place your Stromanthe on a pebble tray with water to boost humidity. Avoid direct sun, which can bleach the vibrant pink variegation.

🌼 #2 — Farfugium Firefly

Farfugium Firefly

A true conversation starter, the Farfugium Firefly dazzles with its deep green, glossy leaves speckled with golden-yellow spots — as if fireflies landed and stayed. This shade-tolerant beauty is perfect for lower-light spaces and adds a dramatic, editorial touch to any room.

Studies published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology show that interacting with indoor plants reduces physiological and psychological stress, and the Farfugium's unique beauty makes it especially mood-lifting.

💡 Pro Tip: The Farfugium Firefly prefers consistently moist (not soggy) soil and indirect light. It's surprisingly cold-hardy for a tropical-looking plant.

💋 #3 — Curly Lipstick Plant

Curly Lipstick Plant

The Curly Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans) is a trailing beauty that produces vivid red, tubular blooms emerging from dark maroon buds — resembling lipstick being pushed from its tube. Its curly, waxy leaves add texture and movement, making it ideal for hanging baskets or high shelves.

Bright indirect light encourages the most prolific blooming. According to Penn State Extension, matching a plant's light needs is the single most important factor in its long-term health and flowering performance.

💡 Pro Tip: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering is the #1 cause of Lipstick Plant decline.

🌱 #4 — Philodendron 'Moonlight'

Philodendron Moonlight

The Philodendron 'Moonlight' earns its name with luminous, chartreuse-yellow new leaves that gradually deepen to rich green as they mature. This self-heading (non-vining) philodendron is compact, fast-growing, and incredibly easy to care for — a perfect choice for both beginners and collectors.

Philodendrons are among the most studied houseplants for air purification. The NASA Clean Air Study identified philodendrons as effective at removing formaldehyde from indoor environments.

💡 Pro Tip: Feed your Philodendron Moonlight monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. See Penn State Extension's fertilizing guide for best practices.

🙏 #5 — Maranta 'Leuconeura' (Prayer Plant)

Maranta Leuconeura Prayer Plant

The Maranta 'Leuconeura' — affectionately known as the Prayer Plant — folds its leaves upward at night as if in prayer, then unfurls them each morning. This mesmerizing movement, combined with its richly patterned foliage of deep green, red veins, and silvery spots, makes it one of the most captivating plants in our collection.

Marantas thrive in medium indirect light and prefer consistently moist soil. The University of Maryland Extension recommends checking soil moisture before watering rather than following a fixed schedule — a practice that keeps Marantas especially happy.

💡 Pro Tip: Use filtered or distilled water for your Maranta — it's sensitive to fluoride and chlorine in tap water, which can cause brown leaf tips.

🎭 #6 — Alocasia Polly 'African Mask'

Alocasia Polly African Mask

Bold, dramatic, and undeniably striking — the Alocasia Polly 'African Mask' commands attention with its deep green, arrow-shaped leaves etched with bright white veins. This architectural plant brings a sculptural quality to any space and is a favorite among design-forward plant lovers.

Alocasias prefer bright indirect light and high humidity. Check out UW-Madison's guide to houseplant humidity for tips on keeping your Alocasia thriving year-round.

💡 Pro Tip: Alocasia Polly goes dormant in winter — don't panic if it drops a leaf or two. Reduce watering and wait for spring growth to resume.

✨ #7 — Pothos 'Neon'

Pothos Neon

If you're new to plants — or just want something that practically takes care of itself — the Pothos 'Neon' is your answer. Its electric chartreuse-green trailing vines brighten any shelf, bookcase, or hanging planter, and it tolerates low light, irregular watering, and even the occasional neglect with grace.

Pothos is one of the most recommended plants for beginners. Explore our full easy-care plant collection for more low-maintenance options perfect for busy lifestyles.

💡 Pro Tip: Neon Pothos keeps its brightest color in higher light. In low light, the leaves may revert to a more muted green.

👑 #8 — Dracaena 'Warneckii White Jewel'

Dracaena Warneckii White Jewel

The Dracaena 'Warneckii White Jewel' is a classic for good reason. Its upright, sword-like leaves striped in deep green and crisp white bring a clean, modern elegance to any interior. Dracaenas are among the most forgiving houseplants — tolerating low light, infrequent watering, and dry indoor air.

The NASA Clean Air Study identified Dracaena species as among the most effective plants for removing indoor air pollutants including benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene.

💡 Pro Tip: Dracaenas are sensitive to fluoride — use filtered water and avoid fertilizers high in fluoride to prevent brown leaf tips.
