Superior interiors
Welcoming houseplants into your home is an easy way to add style, colour and a calming vibe. Not only do plants create a verdant oasis, with leaf shapes in pleasing shapes and textures, they bring other benefits too, such as lifting our mood and sharpening concentration. Plus, they can filter pollutants from the air and raise humidity, combating the effects of dry air.
Tumbling jungle
Nail that rainforest feel with plants that, in their wild habitat, trail from tree nooks or scramble from the jungle floor up to the light. Let them tumble from hanging baskets and lofty shelves, or coax around a mossy pole and along wall hooks to dramatic effect.

* String of hearts (Ceropegia linearis)
