After so many years of growing flowers, have you ever seen leaves that are even more beautiful than the flowers? Those extremely gorgeous leaves make you fall in love at first glance. Today, Huahua will give everyone an eyeful!

Coral Bells


Coral Bells, also called heuchera, has broad heart-shaped leaves that change color with the seasons and temperature. It could be said to be nature's richest palette: deep purple, light green and orange-yellow. It is truly amazing!

Care tips: Coral Bells likes sun and also tolerates shade, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. In summer, avoid strong direct sunlight. When watering, water only when the soil is dry and let it dry slightly between waterings. In addition, control water moderately to prevent root rot.

Nerve Plant


The nerve plant's leaf veins are clear and distinct, and the plant is small and exquisite, delicate and lovely. Placed on a desk, coffee table or windowsill, it makes people feel fresh and relaxed.

Care tips: The nerve plant likes medium-intensity light and has strong shade tolerance. It is best placed on a bright windowsill. Keep the potting soil moist, and frequently spray water on the leaf surface.

Purple Shamrock (Oxalis triangularis)


The leaves of the purple shamrock must have been a delicate flower in a past life. In sunlight, the triangular leaves are as thin as cicada wings, as if they will fly away the next second.

Care tips: Purple shamrock likes a warm and humid environment. Rotating the pot frequently can ensure even light exposure. In summer, when temperatures are high, the plant enters dormancy. At this time, spray more water to keep the potting soil slightly moist.

Caladium


Caladium, as the name suggests, has leaves with rich colors. Yellow, red, orange, purple, green and other various markings are spread like clouds across the lip-shaped leaf surface, splendid and varied.

Care tips: Caladium likes light and moisture, but avoids scorching sun exposure. In summer, water more and spray water on the leaves, otherwise it easily wilts.

Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida)


The flowers and leaves of purple heart are both purple. Whether hung indoors, grown in pots, or used as roadside decoration, it is very beautiful.

Care tips: Purple heart avoids direct strong light. In summer, when grown indoors, place it on a bright windowsill; when grown outdoors, provide appropriate shade. Spray water around the plant every morning and evening to maintain air humidity.

Bromeliad (Neoregelia)


When the dark green leaves slowly take on a layer of red, the whole plant glows with a different radiance. This is the bromeliad.

Care tips: Bromeliads like a warm, humid environment with ample light. In summer, spray water on the leaf surface more often, and fertilize once a month.

Hosta


There are willow-leaf hostas and also variegated-leaf hostas. The leaves are as beautiful as the name suggests, curling and twining, with a subtle fragrance spreading all around.

Care tips: Hosta has good shade tolerance. In summer, avoid direct strong light, otherwise the leaves are easily scorched. In high-temperature and high-heat environments, spray water on the leaf surface, surrounding air and ground 2 to 4 times a day to keep it moist.

Amazon Giant Water Lily


The Amazon giant water lily is a large floating-leaf herbaceous plant. Its leaves float on the water like little boats, and can even bear a person's weight. If your home does not have a large pond, you really cannot grow this plant.
