Add Striking Color With the Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple When you want a tree that steals the spotlight without taking over the whole yard, Inaba Shidare delivers. This compact, cascading Japanese Maple forms a graceful dome of finely cut, lacy leaves that drape like a living fountain.

Whether planted as a focal point or tucked into a smaller space, it brings structure, color, and movement to the garden.

Monstera Deliciosa
$69.00
The Monstera Deliciosa, sometimes also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, is a striking tropical houseplant famous for its large, fenestrated (fancy word for "holes") leaves. It’s popular not just for its dramatic foliage, but also for being surprisingly easy to care for —it thrives in indirect sunlight and is forgiving of both missed and over-watering. As it matures, its leaves develop unique natural holes and splits (that's fenestration!), giving any space a lush, modern jungle feel. With support, it can climb and grow impressively tall, adding vertical interest to interiors. Perfect for beginners and plant lovers alike, Monstera Deliciosa is both a conversation piece and a reliable, low-maintenance addition to any indoor plant collection. Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range Medium plant measures 12-24 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage Large plant measures between 22-24 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled in your planter choice If you purchase a large plant with a planter, the planter will ship separately
