Exotic houseplants are a welcome change from the popular indoor plants we see every day. They wouldn\u2019t come as cheap, and you probably wouldn\u2019t find them at your regular store, but the niche beauty they provide to your environment will be worth the investment. <\/p>\n
As a local nursery worker<\/a>, I handle plants<\/a> every day, and I\u2019ve come across a lot of varieties. In my experience, while some rare houseplants get nice compliments, some have buyers ready to offer a leg in exchange. There are many exotic houseplants that are worth staring at, but not all of them would make your visitors gasp or serve as an excellent conversation starter. <\/p>\n These are the rarest exotic plants that you can beautify your home with:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let its name deceive you, the Madagascar palm is not a palm tree. Native to southern Madagascar, the plant is a member of the cacti and succulent family. Sporting a long trunk with very thick spines and a graceful canopy of leaves at the top, it looks quite tropical and would be a killer addition to rooms that receive plenty of sunlight. <\/p>\n Mind you, the Madagascar palm is a big indoor plant. It will grow from four to six feet indoors and can grow as massive as 20 feet outdoors. You would have a better chance of growing it as a houseplant in a cooler climate than in a warm region. <\/p>\n The desert rose is a superb choice for bonsai practitioners. Its delicate leaves and inviting lush flowers are often unmissable, making it perfect as a solo centerpiece or as part of a miniature indoor landscape. <\/p>\n A slow-growing plant, it only grows about 12 inches per year, but can grow as tall as two to five feet indoors upon maturity. Native to Madagascar, Africa, and the Middle East, the desert rose is more suited for warm climates, where it is best grown as an outdoor plant. However, it can be grown as a houseplant in cooler regions. <\/p>\n Possessing an obvious nickname (Frizzle Sizzle), the Corkscrew Albuca is known for its weirdly shaped, but attractive dark green corkscrew leaves. Apart from being visually engaging, the plant blooms during spring, adorned with 10 to 20 yellow-green flowers with a sweet vanilla fragrance. <\/p>\n Native to South Africa, the Corkscrew Albuca takes about 12 weeks to grow to full maturity under the right conditions. It can grow up to 12 inches. While it springs to life in the winter, the Frizzle Sizzle grows best in slightly warmer temperatures. <\/p>\n This large indoor plant is native to semi-arid tropical climates in Africa and India. Also known as the milk bush due to the toxic white sap it produces, it can grow up to 6 feet indoors and 30 feet out in the wild. <\/p>\n The Pencil Cactus grows relatively faster than other cacti. It can grow up to 20 inches in a year under the right conditions. You have to be careful when caring for the plant, as its latex sap can cause skin irritations upon direct contact. <\/p>\n This tropical beauty hails from Asia and Eastern Australia. Its wide heart-shaped leaves lend it a commanding presence, making it the plant you want as the centerpiece of your room. <\/p>\n Alocasia is a fast-growing plant in the summer, able to grow at a rate of 1 to 2 feet per year indoors. It\u2019s also a fairly big houseplant, as it can reach 2 to 6 feet in height and width when grown indoors. <\/p>\n Exotic houseplants are a welcome change from the popular indoor plants we see every day. They wouldn\u2019t come as cheap, and you probably wouldn\u2019t find them at your regular store, but the niche beauty they provide to your environment will be worth the investment.
