This houseplant guide in Sunset Magazine (Feb 2013) features a great selection of gorgeous houseplants. I am a huge fan of having plants in my living environment. They are like living sculptures, and they say they help purify the air inside too. I have a fiddle-leaf fig that I am trying to get to grow into a more tree-like shape like the one above and I'd love to add some of these other beauties to the collection. Especially the more vertical, tree-like black aralia or ficus triangularis, as most of my plants are low and squat.
If you live in my neck of the woods, a great source for houseplants (and herbs and other seasonal plants) is David Shannon Nursery and Florist. They've got a solid selection of plants at reasonable prices, a really friendly staff, and will also re-pot your plants before you take them home for a small fee. They have a selection of basic planters, but you could also bring your own.
