Numerous Types of Indoor Plants You Might Not Be Familiar With
There are unique, imaginative, exotic, and rare indoor plant kinds available, so you don’t have to settle with ordinary, uncreative houseplants. These unfamiliar indoor plants will give your living room, bedroom, and any space in your house a stylish touch.
Crassula Umbella
Bright green, with a waxy texture and glossy sheen, these kinds fall under this category plants. Only a handful of these oddly formed leaves, each sitting on a slender stalk, will be produced by each plant. They might resemble a satellite dish station in several ways. To complete the look, a stem with a spike of tiny, bright red flowers will emerge from the center of them. Most crassula plants that grow as houseplants are native to South Africa’s eastern coast.
Haworthia Cooperi
In its hardiness zones, haworthia is a straightforward plant to grow inside and outdoors. It is a highly unusual succulent with low needs in terms of maintenance from its owner. General environmental requirements for Haworthia cooperi include exposure to direct sunlight, mild temperatures, well-draining soil, and occasional watering. Water Haworthia in direct sunlight every two to three weeks, letting the soil dry out in between. In brighter light, water more frequently, and in less brightness, less regularly.
Albuca Frizzle Sizzle
The plant Albuca spiralis ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ is extraordinarily uncommon and unusual-looking. The albuca is one of the strangest plant species. Even though it blooms twice a year, this plant goes into dormancy when a drought lasts for a long time. This kind of plant only needs water every seven to ten days. During this time, your “Frizzle Sizzle” will require even less water, and the leaves may wither.

Parachute Plant
The parachute plant (Ceropegia sandersonii), sometimes known as the “Umbrella” plant, is a unique climbing succulent with thick evergreen leaves and eye-catching parachute-shaped flowers that will thrive best as a houseplant in the UK. The Parachute Plant can survive with very little water. Less than three feet from a window is ideal, and they thrive in lots of sunlight. The parachute plant prefers soil that drains well. Every time your plant doubles in size, you should replant it to avoid the need for additional fertilizers. The most straightforward way to reproduce the umbrella plant is to take a little stem with a few leaves from the parent plant. After that, the little stem needs to be placed in a planter with a sand mixture that drains effectively.
Staghorn Fern
Staghorn ferns can grow to enormous sizes in the tropics and can be seen prominently sticking out of tree bends. Their fronds help them to gather water and nutrients, while their roots keep them in place. Water them once every week during the hot, dry months; every two to three weeks during the winter months. You can start with this regimen and then adjust it as necessary based on the situation. Staghorn ferns take up water through both their roots and fronds.
My #Euphorbia lactea cristata one year after I got it. It has gone a long way from its fresh cutting beginnings from the garden center to its stable state now. It will definitely need a repot once the crest becomes top heavy. But that would probably take another year to happen. pic.twitter.com/RqxiUB12IE

Euphorbia lactea Cristata
A succulent perennial plant from the Euphorbiaceae family of spurges, Euphorbia lactea ‘Cristata.’ It is a grafted plant that is frequently mistaken for a cactus, albeit it isn’t. It is often cultivated inside as a houseplant. Euphorbia lactea is a small cactus-like tree or shrub that is deciduous, thorny, and usually without leaves. Even though it may grow up to 15 feet tall, it is typically kept as a 1- to a 2-foot houseplant. In propagating Euphorbia lactea Cristata, choose a good rootstock, and make a “V” on the plant’s top. Cut an arrow shape out of the stem of “Cristata.” Then, join the two succulents along with the butcher’s rope or thread. Give the plant a few weeks to rest in a warm location with plenty of sunlight.
As indoor plants gain popularity, we always look for new or unique plants to add to our collections. Finding the ideal houseplant has become something of a mild hobby.
