Some houseplants with unique leaves or behaviors can add freshness and elegance to our living space. Here, I introduce 12 of the cutest and coolest indoor plants, which I find interesting and hope you will too.
1. Oxalis triangularis (Purple Shamrock)
I love the delicate white or pink flowers of this cool indoor plant and its triangular and deep purple leaves that open and close in response to the light.
2. String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii)
This cutest houseplant, as trailing houseplant, has small, heart-shaped leaves and delicate, cascading stems in hanging pots and also shines among the other indoor plants in your home.
It is a suitable option for gifting to someone you love.
3. String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)
As its name suggests, the leaves of this cute houseplant are like green pearls that are placed together and give a strange feeling to the house.
It is better to put them in hanging baskets because houseplant vine creates a fantastic cascading effect. This is an easy-care houseplant, and it does not need much water.
4. Peperomia
This cool houseplant is available in a variety of shapes, patterns, textures, sizes, and leaf colors, so it looks cute.
This indoor plant is small in size and recommended for small spaces. Fortunately, it needs low maintenance, and all these positive features encourage us to keep it in our houses.
5. Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura)
Prayer Plant is a sensitive indoor plant whose leaves have pink or white veins.
This cute houseplant opens its leaves during the day to absorb the sunlight and, at night, folds them like praying hands.
Moreover, when they need water, their leaves curl up and droop. This good feature makes the work of attentive houseplant parents easier.
Don’t forget bright indirect light and watering when the soil is dry.
6. Tillandsia (Air Plants)
The air plant is cute because it does not need soil. The main thought in everyone’s mind is, how does it absorb water and nutrients? Absolutely, with the help of its leaves, it is possible.
There are two ways of houseplant watering. You can put it under the tap for a few minutes or soak it. If your location is humid, spray it.
Like other cute houseplants, don’t forget to put them in bright, indirect light.
7. Echeveria
The Echeveria, which is compact and symmetrical in shape, is mainly used for decoration and arrangement. Rosette-shaped and fleshy leaves of this popular succulent have made it cool in the eyes of home plant growers. These leaves are available in different colors and create a gradient effect.
8. Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
This cute houseplant grows in water with low maintenance and thin and straight stems. Bring luck to yourself by placing it in a corner of the house.
9. Mimosa Pudica (Sensitive Plant)
Can a plant with feathery leaves like a fern and fluffy and small pink flowers be liked and not cute and cool? In addition, this shy indoor plant has made young and old fall in love with it. If you touch its leaves, and it gets dark at night, it folds its leaves suddenly.
10. Hoya (Wax Plant)
Hoyas have thick, waxy leaves, and if you take good care of them, they will surprise you with fragrant, star-shaped, bright pink and red flowers.
I think the long-lasting blooms and attractive foliage make this indoor plant cute, but it’s not the only reason. Hoyas are semi-succulent and collect water like a tuber. They prefer bright indirect light and drying between two waterings.
11. Lithops (Living Stones)
If a lithops is next to some pebbles, you will hardly be able to recognize it. This cute, small houseplant is actually a type of succulent. It has a high camouflage ability, needs little water, and can blend with its natural environment.
12. Pilea Peperomioides (Chinese Money Plant)
Pilea Peperomioides has round, cookie-like leaves and is easy to propagate and care for. Personally, I consider it a modern houseplant and use it in minimalist interior designs. They are very cool and stylish.
Moisten the soil and leave it in a bright window. Watering too much and direct light is the enemy of this cool houseplant.
In your opinion, which houseplant is the coolest? What other cool houseplants do you know that weren’t on the list?
