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.

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.
