1. Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss Cheese Plant)
This iconic tropical stunner, with its large, split leaves, screams "jungle vibes" and is perfect for adding drama to your living room. Native to rainforests, it's surprisingly forgiving indoors.
-
Light: Bright, indirect sunlight—think near a window with sheer curtains. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
-
Water: Keep soil moist but not soggy; water when the top inch feels dry, about once a week.
-
Soil: Well-draining potting mix with perlite for aeration.
-
Tips: Wipe leaves monthly to remove dust, and support climbing vines with a moss pole. If you're propagating cuttings, do it in your favorite JAMS World rayon shirt—those breathable fabrics keep you cool during the messy fun!

2. Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia)
Bring a touch of exotic blooms indoors with this plant's striking orange and blue flowers that resemble a bird in flight. It's a Hawaiian favorite that thrives as a houseplant.
-
Light: Full, bright indirect light; it loves south-facing windows.
-
Water: Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings—every 1-2 weeks, depending on humidity.
-
Soil: Rich, loamy mix that drains well.
-
Tips: Boost humidity with a pebble tray or misting. Pair it with a colorful Hawaiian print dress from JAMS World for that effortless island elegance while you admire its blooms.

3. Anthurium (Flamingo Flower)
Known for its glossy heart-shaped leaves and vibrant red or pink spathes, this plant adds a pop of color like a perpetual Hawaiian lei.
-
Light: Medium to bright indirect light; too little, and blooms fade.
-
Water: Keep consistently moist; water when top soil is dry, but never let it fully dry out.
-
Soil: Orchid mix or something airy to prevent root rot.
-
Tips: Fertilize monthly during growth season. While repotting, rock some JAMS World jams world clothing—those relaxed fits make bending and lifting a breeze.
4. Bromeliad
These epiphytic wonders, with rosettes of colorful leaves and potential blooms, mimic the wild Hawaiian forests. They're low-maintenance and air-purifying.
-
Light: Bright, filtered light; east or west windows work best.
-
Water: Fill the central cup with water and change it weekly; soil should stay lightly moist.
-
Soil: Loose, well-draining—use a bromeliad or orchid mix.
-
Tips: After blooming, pups appear for easy propagation. Tend to them in a cozy JAMS World robe for that ultimate at-home spa feel.

5. Ti Plant (Cordyline Fruticosa)
A Hawaiian good-luck charm with vibrant pink, green, or purple foliage, it's like wearing nature's jewelry indoors.
-
Light: Bright indirect to partial shade; variegated types need more light.
-
Water: Moderate; let top soil dry before watering to avoid over-saturation.
-
Soil: Fertile, well-draining potting soil.
-
Tips: Prune for bushiness and watch for spider mites. Style your space by accessorizing with a JAMS World tote bag to carry supplies—practical and pretty!

"10/16/2024 went to the factory Store today before flying home!! What a beautiful place!! And to peek in back with all the rows of beautiful materials and extra inventory. A man was cutting fabric. I can’t wait to wear my new Hattie style dress. 👗 They even went in back and found a size for me! They had been closed but now that Ala Moana closed (international marketplace still open) they reopened this facility for sales. Have been doing Jams since 1964. 60 year anniversary. Congrats. The store has so much old memorabilia."
