Bring texture, colour and greenery to your cooking space with our Kitchen Houseplant Collection. This trio combines contrasting leaf shapes and growth habits, making it easy to brighten worktops, open shelving or a kitchen corner with a display of indoor kitchen plants.
The Calathea Rufibarba ‘Elgergrass’ adds soft, gently waved leaves with deep green tops and purple undersides. Haworthia Fasciata ‘Big Band’ brings compact structure through its fleshy, green leaves and raised white stripes. Completing the group, the Philodendron White Wave ‘Birkin’ features glossy foliage traced with cream-white pinstripes.
Arrange the three plants together for a layered look or use them individually across shelves and counters. Their mix of lush, patterned and architectural foliage makes this kitchen plant collection a thoughtful housewarming, birthday or new-home gift.
Position the plants in bright, indirect light and keep them away from harsh sun, cold draughts and heat from ovens or hobs. Keep the Calathea and Philodendron lightly moist without waterlogging, but let the Haworthia’s compost become almost dry before watering. Extra kitchen humidity will suit the Calathea, although all three need good air circulation
Light Required Bright, filtered or indirect light. Calathea and Philodendron tolerate partial shade, while Haworthia performs best in a brighter position. Protect all three from intense direct summer sunlight.
Watering Water the Calathea when the compost surface begins to dry, preferably using soft or rainwater. Water the Philodendron when the upper 2–3cm feels dry. Allow the Haworthia to become almost completely dry before soaking and draining it thoroughly. Reduce watering during winter.
Best Growing Conditions Grow at approximately 16–24°C in a bright, draught-free position. Higher humidity benefits the Calathea and Philodendron, while the Haworthia needs lower moisture and good ventilation. Keep away from direct heat produced by ovens, hobs and radiators.
Branch Details Calathea forms a dense clump of upright leaf stems. Haworthia develops compact rosettes and produces offsets around its base. Philodendron ‘White Wave’ has a compact, upright, self-heading habit and may benefit from support as it matures.
