Araceae

The Araceae family—commonly called Aroids—includes some of the most iconic foliage plants in the world. With over 3,000 species, this diverse group ranges from climbing Pothos and elegant Aglaonema to bold Colocasia, dramatic Philodendron, and iconic Monstera. Famous for their striking leaves, adaptability, and unique flowers known as spathes and spadices, Aroids thrive in both indoor collections and tropical gardens.

From resilient low-light species to large-leafed showpieces, members of Araceae bring structure, variety, and a sense of wonder to any plant collection. Related families like Zamioculcas add even more diversity, proving why Aroids remain at the heart of so many plant lovers’ collections.
