Indoor Plants from Paarl Nursery

Indoor plants have become more than décor — they’re a way to bring calm, colour and life into our living spaces. Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or just starting your indoor jungle, choosing the right plants makes all the difference. The good news? Many of the best indoor plants in South Africa are hardy, beautiful and wonderfully low maintenance.

At Wild Emporium in Paarl, we stock a curated selection of houseplants that thrive in South African homes — even in warm summers and dry winters.

1. Snake Plant (Mother-in-Law’s Tongue)

If you’re new to houseplants, start here. Snake plants are one of the most low maintenance indoor plants, handling low light, irregular watering and fluctuating temperatures with ease. Their tall architectural leaves add instant style to bedrooms, offices and living rooms.

2. Peace Lily

Perfect for brightening corners, the Peace Lily is both elegant and incredibly rewarding. It produces beautiful white blooms and is known for its air-purifying qualities. It thrives in medium light and tells you exactly when it’s thirsty — ideal for newer plant owners.

3. Pothos (Devil’s Ivy)

Beloved across South Africa, Pothos is the trailing plant that grows almost anywhere. It’s extremely forgiving and very fast-growing, making it one of the best indoor plants for shelves, hanging baskets or bathroom greenery.

4. Monstera Deliciosa

A favourite for modern homes, the Monstera is bold, tropical and surprisingly easy to care for. With its iconic split leaves, it makes a stylish statement in any room and thrives in the warm conditions typical of South African households.

5. ZZ Plant

If you’re after something truly low effort, the ZZ Plant is perfect. It tolerates low light, needs very little water and keeps its glossy green leaves year-round. Ideal for offices, hallways and spots where most plants won’t survive.

6. Ficus Elastica (Rubber Plant)

With deep, glossy leaves and beautiful colouring, the Rubber Plant is a classic choice for interior styling. It enjoys bright, indirect light and becomes a gorgeous tall indoor feature over time.

Why These Plants Thrive in South Africa

Many of the best indoor plants in South Africa are naturally adaptable, tolerant of heat and suited to changing indoor conditions. They’re perfect for anyone looking to enjoy greenery without high-maintenance care — from busy families to new plant lovers.
