Hey there! Still loving your indoor plants? Same here! Lately, I’ve been eyeing a few new additions to bring a fresh vibe into my home. Instagram and Pinterest are overflowing with unique and interesting plant varieties, and I’ve been mentally bookmarking them so I can keep an eye out. While the Fiddle Leaf Fig has been a go-to for years, it looks like we’re starting to see a shift – and honestly, it’s a good thing (those Fiddles are high-maintenance!). This year, there’s a new wave of plants ready to shine.
It’s time for String of Pearls, Chain of Hearts, and Fiddles to make some room for these 2025 must-haves:

Monstera Deliciosa
Those lush, oversized leaves! This striking plant, part of the philodendron family, comes in a few variations. Monsteras are low-maintenance and surprisingly easy to care for – but be prepared for its horizontal growth! These beauties look stunning in large spaces or atop a bookshelf where they can spread wide and hang gracefully. A friend of mine snagged one from our local Bunnings, and it’s thriving!

Pilea Peperomioides
Also known as the “Chinese Money Plant,” this one might be new to you, as it was to me until recently. If you’re an indoor plant enthusiast, this is the must-have plant for your collection. The catch? It’s hard to find, and if you’re lucky enough to spot one, it could cost up to $90 for a small one. Sadly, you won’t see these at Bunnings, but once you have one, they grow quickly and produce plenty of little “babies” to share with friends.

Hoya Obovata
This plant is part of the easy-care Hoya family, known for its thick, waxy leaves that can hold a surprising amount of water. It’s perfect for hanging pots or even training to climb up a window. And the best part? Hoyas are readily available – I even spotted one at my local Bunnings recently!
What do you think? What unusual house plants do you have?

Hi Katrina
Love the Hoya, my Grandma had those, such an old fashioned plant. I’m going to get one for my kitchen to hang over my open shelves.
On the fiddle leaf (it maybe diff as I live in South East QLD) but my fiddle didn’t do well inside. It looked just like all the dying, leaf browning then leaf dropping ones I see all over IG with lots of frustration. After moving it to the veranda, in bright light, no direct sun, it has doubled in size and is thick with leaves from the base up! I water every day or not, sometimes once a week. So for me, it was the light factor. Exactly what my Mum said when I had it inside to begin with. I also swear by a aerosol tin of white oil, sprayed on in combination with a water sprayer probably once a month. I give it a small amount of slow release fertiliser about once every 2 months. I’ve had it looking like this for 2 years.
Thanks so much for the continual inspiration! Love the plants, caravanning and kids playing cricket- all high on our family agenda here too!

I remember as a kid everyone having those first plants in their house. We had several of them.

Hubby picked up a monsteria from a plant sale at someones house for 3 dollars! It is dying off though, it’s out the front in a pot, should we bring it inside? We are planning on planting it outside when our build is finished.

Maybe you should put it in a more sheltered position until it recovers

I had a beautiful healthy one and put it outside and it hated it- all but died ( it was quite cold though) bought it back inside to try and save it and after a couple of months it’s realky taking off again. Good luck
