Hypoestes
Hypoestes phyllostachya, commonly known as the polka dot plant, is a playful houseplant with freckled pink leaves that add an instant joyful touch to any room. Polka dot plants sport leaves in many mottled patterns in shades of pastel pink, bright pink, green and white. Their compact growth also makes them great additions to terrariums for a splash of colour.

Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’
Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’ is a highly sought-after houseplant due to its unique variegated leaves. As one of the most famous pink houseplants on the market, you could argue it started this colour craze. A true princess in every sense, this Philodendron requires a bit more care and attention compared to other houseplants, but despite its demanding nature, its beauty is well worth the effort.

Maranta leuconeura
Maranta leuconeura features unique patterned foliage with distinctive pink veins on a dark green background that look almost painted by hand. This houseplant is commonly named a prayer plant because its leaves move throughout the day, resembling hands in prayer. It thrives in low to medium light conditions, making it a versatile choice for less sunny spots in your home.

Anthurium
Anthurium are traditional and classic houseplants. They’re known for their interesting spathes that contrast dramatically with their bright green foliage, and you’ll see many anthuriums with a waxy modified leaf in everything from adorable pastel pink to almost neon. These plants are also known as flamingo flowers – a fitting name for the pink varieties.

Syngonium Neon
Syngonium ‘Neon’ boasts a stunning blush pink colour that emerges in the arrow-shaped leaves. As the plant matures, these leaves unfold to reveal a combination of mottled pink and green, creating a mesmerising visual display. Its growth habit makes it an ideal hanging plant, filling vertical space with an essential pop of pink colour.
