A plant that can grow on a lava rock, who would have thought? Lava rock houseplants are plants, such as Schefflera or Diversifolium (as well as a few others), that can grow on these specific rocks. But how? Well, this unique planting method can absorb moisture directly from the soil and water around the rock.

And of course, these popular houseplants have been on my radar for quite some time now, and after coming across the Lova Schefflera Lava Rock Plant from Amazon, I knew it was one I had to add to my basket — ASAP. Aside from its cool planting method, this houseplant is a chic way to bring minimalism into the home through indoor garden ideas. So what's not to love?
