Blue Hue Houseplant Collection (5 Plants)

Blue Hue Collection Overview

The Blue Hue Collection is a curated selection of houseplants that share a common and captivating trait: a cool, bluish or silvery tint to their foliage. These subtle tones add a soothing, modern aesthetic to any indoor space, pairing beautifully with neutral decor and minimalist interiors. Beyond their beauty, these plants each bring unique shapes and textures from trailing vines to sculptural succulents and graceful ferns. Easy to care for and visually harmonious, this collection is perfect for anyone seeking something a little different from the usual greens.

1. Epipremnum Exotica (Scindapsus pictus Exotica)
