If you are a fan of the classic Rubber Tree, you're gonna LOVE this one. Meet our Ruby Rubber Tree — a variegated cultivar of the classic Rubber Tree whose captavating leaves range from electric pink, to ruby red, white, and a beautiful green. Unlike the classic Rubber Tree, this plant will need a little bit more sun due to the verigation in its leaves. Place this gem in a spot where it can receive bright, indirect light. The bright colors are an instant mood booster.

Last but not least, we have the Philodendron 'Pink Princess'. This stunner is absolute plant royalty and one of the most sought after plants among plant parents. Characterized by deep green foliage and bubblegum pink variegations, its hard to imagine a space that this beauty wouldn't compliment. And since the Pink Princess is a type of Philodendron, it is relatively easy to care for too! She likes bright, indiret light and it's important that she is getting enough. Without enough light, this plant will revert to completely dark green, thus loosing the pink variegations that make us love it so much.
