Aroids

Aroids, scientifically called Araceae, are a family of plants that have always been popular houseplants. However they have become increasingly trendy in the last few years. The urban jungle trend has made these plants famous and some of them became highly sought-after collector plants. In our online shop, we have hundreds of both common and rare Aroids for sale in all sizes for sale!

Aroid houseplants and their care

Even if you don't know what an Aroid is, chances are that you have a plant from this family at home already. These houseplants come in all different shapes and sizes from the classic, large-growing Monstera Deliciosa to the desk-sized peace lily. Scientifically, the Araceae family is easily distinguished by their charactaristic blossoms: Each Aroid blossom is made up of numerous tiny flowers clustered together on a 'spadix', a floral spike, that is found within a single curved, leaf-like 'spathe'. We have all seen this type of blossom on the popular peace lily. While the size, shape and colour can vary between different Aroid species, the overall appearance of the flower is the same for all plants in this family.

Some of the popular plant genuses that belong the Aroid family are:

• Aglaonema 
• Alocasia 
• Anthurium
• Monstera
• Philodendron 
• Scindapsus 
• Syngonium

The classic monstera, peace lilies or pothos are among the widespread, common houseplants of this plant family. However, we also sell rare Aroids that can be considered collector plants. These include for example the popular Monstera Variegata, Philodendron Florida Ghost or Philodendron Gloriosum. So, if you want to add some rare Aroids to your plant collection, our online store is the place to be! Aroids are tropical and sub-tropical plants and have become popular houseplants, because a lot of them thrive very well in household conditions. They usually grow on the rain forest floor or on branches under the forest canopy. So, they naturally grow in the shade and do not mind the often poor lighting situations in our home. A lot of them are also tolerant of periods of drought, despite most of them coming from the rain forest. At the same time, they don't take an occasional overwatering too seriously, either. As you can see, overall, Aroids are rather forgiving, highly adaptable and very decorative. This makes for a perfect combination for any houseplant.
