THE GOOD WEIRD STUFF
Not every Gem is rare forever.

UNUSUAL FOLIAGE
Interesting colour, texture, shape or pattern that stands out from everyday favourites.

JUNGLE GEMS FAQ
A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Makes a Houseplant Rare?
Rare can mean different things in the houseplant world. A plant may be harder to find because it is produced in smaller numbers, has limited availability, is slower to propagate or is simply less commonly stocked.
Availability changes over time, so a plant considered difficult to find today may become more widely available in the future.
Are All the Plants in Jungle Gems Extremely Rare?
Not necessarily. Jungle Gems brings together plants we consider more unusual, collectible or harder to find than standard everyday houseplants.
Some may be genuinely difficult to source, while others may simply be distinctive varieties that appeal to collectors or anyone looking for something a little different.
How Often Do You Get New Rare Houseplants?
It depends on what becomes available from our growers and suppliers. Rare and unusual plants can arrive throughout the year, but some varieties may only appear occasionally or in small numbers.
Keep an eye on Fresh Arrivals for the newest plants, as collector pieces can sometimes disappear quickly.
Can I Order Jungle Gems for UK Delivery?
Yes. Many plants in Jungle Gems can be ordered online for delivery across the UK, subject to the delivery options shown on each individual product.
We carefully prepare plants for their journey and provide practical care information to help them settle in.
Are Rare Houseplants Harder to Care For?
Not always. A plant being rare or unusual does not automatically mean it is difficult to grow.
Care depends on the individual species or cultivar, so check its light, watering, humidity and temperature needs before choosing.
Can You Source a Rare Plant I'm Looking For?
We can certainly try. If there is a particular houseplant, cultivar or collector plant you have been hunting for, tell us what you are looking for and we will see whether we can help.
Plant Genie lets us keep an eye out through our growers and suppliers.
