3 Best Houseplants To Grow In Fall

If you're starting to say goodbye to summer, it's a good time to turn your attention to fall plant care and rebuild your indoor jungle. Instead of growing the usual suspects like Snake Plants or Peace Lillies, have a turn at growing a houseplant that's a little more unique! We've put together 4 of the best unique houseplants to grow in Fall, so that you are ready to nest come winter!

1. For The Apartment Dweller: Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma (Mini Monstera)

Uhmmm, who doesn't like miniatures! We love monsteras, and are even more in love with the Rhaphidophora tetrasperma AKA  "Mini Monstera". Not only is it super cute, but has small compact leaves that climb, so its a great way to get the monstera vibes, in a more manageable size. 

1. Why is The Mini Monstera A Great Houseplant for Fall?

  • This mini monstera will love the softer sunlight of fall. Give it a bright, indirect spot, and let her thrive! 
  • This houseplant is pretty hardy, so it should be able to tolerate cooler indoor temperatures without a problem, just monitor the soil to make sure that you're not overwatering.
  • The leaves are super cute. You'll see fenestrations (aka split leaves) and watch it take interesting twists and turns over the season. YAY!

2. For Forgetful Waterers: Ceropegia Woodii (String of Hearts)
