Joanna Gaines's Favorite Plants

1 Hoya

If you're looking for fast-growing, leafy vines that can dangle from a shelf or a hanging pot, a hoya plant could be just what you need. While it doesn't need direct sunlight, Joanna recommends placing it by a window. Complete the look by styling it in this macrame hanger from Magnolia Market.

2 Olive Tree

Joanna gushed about her fondness for using olive trees indoors in the Spring 2017 issue of Chip and Joanna's quarterly magazine, The Magnolia Journal. According to Joanna, these sun-loving trees make the perfect gift because of their powerful symbolism.

3 Pilea

Whether you're looking for soft, textural ground cover or a small pop of green for a coffee table, Pilea can satisfy both. We love the way it looks in this terracotta and iron plant stand, but take note — it's tiny!

4 Snake Plant

Joanna likes the low-maintenance needs of snake plants, but we're also impressed by how having this plant in your home can actually improve your health! Instagram user Ali Harper adds a beachy vibe to her snake plant by placing it in a basket.

6 Elephant Bush

If you need something tall and textural, consider an elephant bush. Joanna especially loves these for styling bookshelves and recommends putting them in a warm room with lots of light.

Joanna advises saving money by buying a baby tree if you have the patience and green thumb for it. Check out these tips for taking care of a fiddle leaf fig tree to ensure it lasts!
