Ficus Lyrata – Designer’s Plant

Architects love ficus lyrata because of it’s interesting shaped leaves.  We love our ficus lyrata and have it in our living room.  This plant has grown to be a sprawling tree.  It is 30+ years old.  A lot of sunlight and a vaulted ceiling give this plant big possibilities.  Ficus lyrata has beauty, structure, and point of interest.  One of HydroSpike’s favorites.

Cascading Leaves

We love this plant that has cascading waxy leaves, so shiny!  HydroSpike is great when we go on vacation or don’t have time to water the plants.  The plant is an indoor plant, and it sits on an outdoor patio set…that we moved indoors!  The wood patio set was too nice of a set to leave outside to rot.  Why not use it as indoor furniture?!

 

 

Curious Plants

We have a variety of plants around, but here is one in particular that I find interesting.  The wax flower.  Up close, it is waxy, and it looks like it could have been made from plastic with a furry finish.  Cute as a button.  Oh the wonders of nature!
