green and white houseplant

Variegated plants with white and green leaves are highly sought after by collectors. These plants are often more coveted than solid greens, and some are even obsessed with collecting them. The most expensive variegated houseplants include the tropical Monstera Deliciosa, a Swiss cheese plant, and the popular Monstera Albo. These plants are not only beautiful but also hard to grow, making them ideal for beginners. To find a white and green houseplant that won’t empty your savings, experts have compiled a list of their favorite picks.
Some plants feature spots or elegant stripes that highlight the leaf’s structure and veining, while others offer a unique style due to genetic mutations, creating a beautiful patchy white and green contrast. These more expensive and harder to find varieties are a showpiece in your collection, and there are many more options to choose from. The experts have chosen ten of the most stylish variegated houseplants to add to your home.
