Dwarf umbrella tree
Heptapleurum arboricola
Adaptable indoor shrub with umbrella-like leaflets. Grow in bright indirect light, allow the upper soil to dry between waterings, and prune to maintain size. Keep away from pets because it can cause irritation and illness if ingested.
English ivy
Hedera helix
Trailing or climbing foliage plant that prefers bright indirect light and cooler conditions. Use a well-draining mix and avoid excessive heat and dry air. Keep away from pets because the leaves and berries are toxic if ingested.
Fiddle-leaf fig
Ficus lyrata
Indoor tree with large violin-shaped leaves. Place it in bright filtered light, avoid frequent relocation, and water thoroughly only after the upper soil begins to dry. Its milky sap can irritate skin, and the plant may harm pets if chewed.
