3 Rare Houseplants You’ll Fall in Love with from Peace Love and Happiness Club
Julie Bawden-DavisAugust 2, 2025
Like many houseplant lovers, I’m always on the lookout for unique and beautiful houseplants to add to my collection. Recently, I was lucky enough to receive some truly special plants from Peace Love Happiness club, a Seattle plant store known for its exotic, hard to find, rare houseplants. Their 5,000 sq. ft. store feels like a tropical oasis, filled with collector favorites you won’t find in your average big-box garden center.
Among the incredible selection of rare houseplants, three caught my eye—and my heart. Each one brings its own splash of color and character, perfect for anyone looking to brighten their indoor space with something extraordinary. And it doesn’t hurt that you can also impress visitors to your indoor garden by showing off these rare houseplants!
Here are the showstopping plants I received, and a little bit about them. If you don’t fall head over heels for these (although I can’t imagine you wouldn’t!), they have lots of other choices on their website.
Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’
Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ is an epiphytic aroid and an eye-catcher from the moment a new leaf appears. Fresh growth unfurls in starburst yellow, shifts to a warm coppery orange, and eventually matures into deep, glossy green. The colorful transition makes every new leaf feel like a mini celebration.
With leaves eventually reaching up to two feet tall, this plant is an instant statement piece for your indoor garden—especially when those eye-popping orange leaves steal the show.
The thing I love about philodendrons is that they are so easy to grow. This beauty needs bright, indirect light to keep those colors vibrant. Also provide rich, organic, well-draining soil and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Feed Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ monthly spring through fall with a well-balanced, organic fertilizer.
Aglaonema ‘Suksom Jaipong’
If you love bold color, Aglaonema ‘Suksom Jaipong’ is a total heartthrob. With its jaw-dropping variegation, this plant is living art that’s hard to look away from. Its striking red leaves with deep green edges are some of the most intense reds you’ll see—and as the plant matures, the red becomes even more vibrant.
Aglaonema ‘Suksom Jaipong’ is a slow grower, but each leaf is worth the wait. When I first received the plant, I was mesmerized, and that hasn’t changed.
To bring out the best reds, provide this lovely plant with bright, indirect light. Plant it in a light, organic mix that drains well, and water when the soil surface has dried and the plant has become somewhat lightweight. Aglaonema doesn’t do well with being overly wet. Feed the plant monthly spring through fall with a well-balanced, organic fertilizer.
Alternanthera ficoidea ‘Party Time’
True to its name, Alternanthera ficoidea ‘Party Time’ is like a celebration in a pot. Its green leaves are splashed with hot pink streaks and blotches, with some leaves entirely pink and others solid green—like confetti decorating every leaf. It’s a lively, year-round showstopper.
Alternanthera ficoidea ‘Party Time’ requires filtered sun to keep the colors bright. Provide light, organic potting soil that drains well, and keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Feed Aglaonema ‘Suksom Jaipong’ monthly spring through fall with a well-balanced, organic fertilizer to promote continued lush, vibrant growth.
If you’re ready to add some radiant and rare houseplants to your home, I highly recommend checking out Peace Love and Happiness Club. Their passion for unique collector plants and tropical exotics makes them a go-to destination for anyone serious about houseplants.
