The Kitchen Houseplant Collection is a trio of contrasting plants for worktops, open shelves and kitchen windowsills: a Calathea Rufibarba 'Elgergrass', a Haworthia Fasciata 'Big Band' and a Philodendron White Wave. Each has a different leaf shape, so the set looks full without using much space.

The Calathea has long, wavy leaves, deep green on top and purple underneath, and enjoys the extra humidity a kitchen provides. The Haworthia is a small, spiky succulent with raised white bands. The Philodendron White Wave, a Birkin type, has glossy dark leaves marked with fine cream pinstripes. Display them as a group, or give each its own spot. It also makes a nice house-warming gift. See our colourful houseplant range.

  • Three leaf styles: wavy, striped and pinstriped
  • Calathea 'Elgergrass': green leaves with purple undersides
  • Haworthia 'Big Band': compact succulent with white bands
  • Philodendron White Wave: glossy leaves with cream lines
  • 12cm, 11cm and 12cm pots: sized for worktops and shelves

Please note: the decorative pots shown in the images are for illustration only and are not included. As these are natural products, leaf markings, size and shape may vary slightly from plant to plant.

Light Required Bright In-direct sunlight

Watering Allow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and let all excess drain away. These plants cope better with being slightly dry than sitting in wet compost, so never leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering significantly through the cooler, darker months.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright light with some gentle direct sun, ideally at around 15-24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. A warm, airy position and lower humidity suit this plant better than a steamy or constantly damp room.

Which plants are in the Kitchen Houseplant Collection?

You get a Calathea Rufibarba 'Elgergrass' in a 12cm pot, a Haworthia Fasciata 'Big Band' in an 11cm pot and a Philodendron White Wave in a 12cm pot. The three bring wavy, striped and pinstriped leaves to your kitchen.

Where should I put the plants in my kitchen?

Pick a well-lit place shaded from the midday sun, such as a shelf near a window. Keep them away from the oven, hob and kettle, where heat and steam can scorch their leaves. The Haworthia is the one that can sit on a sunny sill.

Why are my Calathea's leaf edges turning brown?

Brown, crispy leaf edges can result from low humidity, inconsistent watering or sensitivity to minerals in tap water. Use rainwater or filtered water, keep the compost lightly moist, and avoid radiators. The humidity in a kitchen often helps, as long as it isn't right beside the cooker.

Is this collection pet-friendly?

No, this collection is not entirely pet-friendly. Calathea and Haworthia are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, but Philodendron White Wave is toxic if chewed or ingested and may cause mouth irritation and drooling. Keep the philodendron out of reach of pets.

Do all three plants need the same amount of water?

No. The Calathea likes its compost slightly damp most of the time, the Philodendron prefers the top to dry first, and the Haworthia, a succulent, needs the least. Check each pot with your finger before watering, rather than watering them all together.

Top tip

Turn the pot a quarter turn every week or two so the plant develops evenly, and wipe broad leaves occasionally to keep them free of dust. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
