Baby Neil: Pilea peperomioides is named Neil after Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, because its leaves resemble flying saucers and thus remind us of outer space. It is not without reason that it is called the UFO plant. Pilea seems like a charming all-rounder from the world of feng shui: a plant with many faces and even more nicknames. For example, it is known as the Chinese Money Plant or Lucky Coin Plant because its round, coin-like leaves convey an impression of prosperity.

Baby James: Big green leaves with holes... simply unmistakable. But there are definitely different types and varieties. In addition to the green version, for example, a white and a climbing plant with small leaves that have large holes. The leaves of a young monster plant are heart-shaped. If it receives sufficient light and moisture, the leaves grow and deep cuts occur. Mature leaves can be up to one meter in diameter.

Baby Hulk: The meaning of the name Zamioculcas is difficult to trace. Culcas is an old name for another genus, Colocasia. The species Zamiifolia has leaves that resemble zamia ferns. Since these feathery leaves are characteristic of both plants, they have finally become a mix. Zamioculcas is a stoic type that neither loses its leaves nor grows fast — the embodiment of stability. Thanks to this Zen-like character, the plant can serve as a useful focus during meditation. Green, beautiful and virtually indestructible: Zamioculcas is first and foremost a fabulous work of nature.
