Today in this article I want to name some rare and unique houseplant. “Rare” This title may seem expensive, but I have to answer it by this way “all the rare houseplant are not expensive, but there are some of them which they can call expensive and luxury.” Such as:
- Variegated Monstera Varieties
- Variegated Mini Monstera
- 800-Year-Old Bonsai Tree
- Shenzhen Nongke Orchid
- Large Monstera Obliqua
- Philodendron Tortum
- Philodendron Pink Princess
- Monstera Esqueleto
But the most popular question among rare indoor plants lover is: “what is the most special, unique and rare plant?” to answer this question I have to say: “The ghost orchid is a spectacular white flower that has no leaves but consists mostly of branches that grow around tree bark. There is an estimation of 2,000 left in the wild and they can be found only in Cuba and the Flooded Forests of South Florida.” So it’s not clear that you can breed it in the house or not. But now I want to introduce some rare indoor plants to you.
