Christmas plant
When we say “Christmas plant,” what comes to mind? Likely a Poinsettia! Have you ever wondered, though, how Poinsetta got its start as a Christmas gift favorite? Eventually, the Poinsettia was dubbed the “Flores de Noche Buena,” or “Flowers of the Holy Night.” It was a favorite decoration for local Christmas parades. However, its use was still limited to Mexico.

Frosty Fern
If you find yourself the proud owner of a Frosty Fern during the holiday season, you’re far from alone! In fact, this white-tipped plant goes by a few different aliases like the Holiday Fern and Christmas Fern. Scientifically, this plant is dubbed Selaginella kraussiana and is a type of “clubmoss,” which (confusingly) isn’t real moss either.

Orchid Stem
Orchids are beautiful, elegant, striking plants. The only downside? We might think they’re a tad dramatic because we don’t understand their language. No one can deny the natural beauty of orchids. With the many color variations, the delicate stems and the countless options for decorative pots, an orchid can add beauty to just about any spot.

Cyclamen Dormancy
These plants originally come from rocky Mediterranean areas, where they bloom during the mild winter and go into hiding for the hot and dry summer. Indoor Cyclamens keep to the same routine, meaning they grow Mid Fall-Winter and start their dormancy in the Spring-Summer.
