Want to add something special to your home? Then go for a rare houseplant!
Are you looking for a unique eye-catcher for your home? Then a rare houseplant is exactly what you need! These special plants are not just a joy to look at, they are a badge of exclusivity too. But what actually makes a houseplant rare? There can be all sorts of reasons: some species grow extremely slowly, others are difficult to propagate or are found in only one small area.
On top of that, rare houseplants are often the result of careful growing on and crossing with other species, which gives every plant a character entirely its own. That not only makes them rare, it often makes them a little more expensive than standard houseplants. Whatever the reason, a rare houseplant adds something special to your living space.
Unique in every way
At Green Bubble you'll find a carefully put-together collection of rare houseplants. No two plants are the same, even within the same species. That means the plant you receive will always be one of a kind. Do bear in mind that the photos on the website are an indication only; your plant may look slightly different thanks to that unique character. Colours, patterns and shapes can all vary, so what arrives at your door really is a one-of-a-kind plant.
Straight from our nursery to your home
Our rare houseplants are sent straight from the nursery to you, so they always arrive beautifully fresh. Do be aware that these plants often need a little more care than the more common varieties. In the wild they grow in warm, humid places with a mix of shade and indirect sunlight, so follow the care instructions closely to keep your rare plant in top condition. If you aren't especially handy with plants, consider our hard-to-kill houseplants instead! A Dracaena or Sansevieria asks for the bare minimum of care and is perfect for anyone without green fingers but with a green heart.
Why a rare houseplant is a must for your home
With their striking leaf colours, unique patterns and often surprising shapes, rare houseplants bring life and character to any room. They are not merely decorative, they tell a story. Each one carries a piece of nature you simply won't come across in the average living room.
For plant lovers these special varieties are often the pride of the collection, a statement piece that shows you have an eye for detail and beauty. Whether you want to complete your Urban jungle, add a unique accent to your home, or find a memorable gift that is guaranteed to impress, a rare houseplant is always a must.
Kinds of rare houseplants
At Green Bubble you'll find a broad, carefully chosen range of rare houseplants, every one of them with a character of its own. How about the beautiful Alocasia Zebrina, with its large leaves and strikingly striped stems? Or the mysterious Philodendron Verrucosum, whose leaves look like satin. We also offer rare versions of familiar species, such as the sturdy Ficus Elastica Tineke, whose variegated leaves in soft shades of green, white and pink sit perfectly in a stylish home.
Rare air-purifying houseplants
As well as looking exclusive, some rare houseplants have excellent air-purifying qualities. That makes them perfect for your living room, and for the office too, where cleaner air can improve productivity. One example of an air-purifying rare houseplant is the Calathea Orbifolia. With its large, striped leaves it is a natural air freshener. The Philodendron Birkin hails all the way from the rainforests of South and Central America.
Caring for rare houseplants
Rare houseplants are not only beautiful to look at, they deserve a little extra love and attention. Because many of them come from tropical regions or have been specially bred, they often need slightly different care from what you're used to. Happily, that needn't be complicated at all!
Pay close attention to how much light your plant needs: some species grow wonderfully in plenty of indirect light, while others love a sunny windowsill. Tropical plants also love high humidity. A humidifier or regular misting helps keep them looking good and healthy.
As for watering: rare plants generally don't like wet feet. Water when the top layer of potting soil feels dry, and make sure excess water can drain away properly. Choose an airy, free-draining potting soil to prevent root rot. Once the plant has been repotted, we strongly recommend using a moisture meter or water level indicator.
