Blue Hue Houseplant Collection (5 Plants)

💙 Blue Hue Collection — Overview

The Blue Hue Collection is a curated selection of houseplants that share a common and captivating trait: a cool, bluish or silvery tint to their foliage. These subtle tones add a soothing, modern aesthetic to any indoor space, pairing beautifully with neutral decor and minimalist interiors. Beyond their beauty, these plants each bring unique shapes and textures — from trailing vines to sculptural succulents and graceful ferns. Easy to care for and visually harmonious, this collection is perfect for anyone seeking something a little different from the usual greens.

🌿 1. Epipremnum ‘Exotica’ (Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica’)

A popular trailing plant with large, heart-shaped leaves splashed with silvery-blue markings on deep green. The velvety foliage shimmers in the light, making it a standout in hanging pots or trailing off shelves.

• Light: Bright, indirect light (can tolerate medium light)

• Water: Let top 2–5 cm of soil dry out between waterings

• Humidity: Average to high; mist occasionally

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with perlite

• Feeding: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with balanced houseplant fertiliser

• Notes: Rotate regularly for even growth; wipe leaves to remove dust

🌿 2. Sedum burrito (‘Burro’s Tail’)

A trailing succulent with plump, blue-green, bead-like leaves that form long, hanging stems. It’s a charming plant with a whimsical, cascading habit.

• Light: Bright, direct or strong indirect light

• Water: Infrequently – allow soil to dry completely between waterings

🌿 3. Phlebodium aureum ‘Blue Star’

A graceful fern with deeply lobed, wavy fronds and a silvery-blue cast. Unlike many ferns, it’s relatively easy-going and makes a great choice for bathrooms or humid rooms.

• Light: Bright, indirect light (no harsh sun)

🌿 5. Senecio hallianus (String of Bananas)

Trailing succulent with glossy, banana-shaped blue-green leaves. It grows quickly and looks great spilling out of hanging pots.

• Water: Allow soil to fully dry before rewatering

• Humidity: Low; do not mist

• Soil: Well-draining cactus/succulent mix

• Feeding: Every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with cactus feed
