A plant that is sure to excite your curiosity, Colocasia ‘Pharaoh’s Mask’ has an appearance that is truly out of this world. This striking plant is perfect for adding a touch of spookiness to your Halloween festivities. Its unique foliage, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian masks, will stand out in your seasonal displays. Pharaoh’s Mask thrives in well-draining, moist soil, so ensure that it receives consistent watering, keeping the soil evenly damp. Place this plant in partial to full shade, as it prefers indirect sunlight and protection from harsh midday sun to prevent scorching of its unique, ornamental leaves.
Behold the eerie charm of Sansevieria ‘Night Owl’. With a name that conjures visions of midnight adventures and a compact, spiky variegated appearance, this unique plant is an exciting addition to your spooky celebrations. Its sleek, green leaves, adorned with interesting silver-green stripes, will cast an enchanting spell on your space. To care for your Sansevieria Night Owl, place it in bright, indirect light, water sparingly to prevent root rot, and enjoy its low-maintenance, hauntingly beautiful presence year-round – it’s a great choice for a plant that’s as fun as it is mysterious.
Introducing Impatiens repens, the intriguing plant that’s an absolute must for adding a chilling touch to your garden. Its blood-red foliage that drapes like a curtain will cast creepy shadows. But here’s the twist that makes it truly unique: when it blooms, it will show off yellow flowers that will hide among its leaves like secrets in the darkness. To care for your Impatiens repens, provide it with partial to full shade, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and watch in delight as this mysterious beauty thrives easily in your garden, leaving everyone mesmerized by its rare and enchanting appearance.
Elevate your spooky season with the enigmatic Ficus Triangularis! Its leaves, strangely resembling the planchette on a Ouija board, can add something special to any space. With deep green and creamy hues and the triangular shape, this plant’s foliage casts a spell of fascination. To care for your Ficus Triangularis, provide bright, indirect light, water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and maintain consistent humidity levels. With proper care, you’ll have an entrancing and attractive addition to your indoor garden.
Have you ever come across a Voodoo Lily? The one-of-a-kind, maroon-spotted stem and enormous, umbrella-like leaves are going to turn heads! The infrequent flowers of this rare plant emit a pungent odor that is often described as resembling rotting meat. This odor serves to attract pollinators such as flies and beetles. Care for your Voodoo Lily by providing well-draining soil, bright indirect light, and occasional watering. This plant makes a cryptic addition to your garden that’s bound to mystify.
Now for something very cool, Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’! With a name that evokes tales of mythical creatures and leaves adorned with a texture we imagine to be like dragon scales, this beautiful plant is an oddity certain to uplevel your spooky decor. It has a dark green, almost metallic appearance and it is a standout feature in any indoor, patio, or garden collection. To care for your Alocasia Dragon Scale, provide bright, indirect light, keep the soil consistently moist but not wet, and maintain higher humidity levels. This is a gorgeous addition to an indoor or outdoor jungle that will definitely spark conversations all year round.
At last, it’s time to take out the cauldron and mix up an unforgettable potion. For this we need Frog Fruit, Mini Monstera, Bat Plant, and the head of a Pumpkin! Each of these plants are unusual additions to a plant collection and they ooze with Halloween charm.
