Big Ken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Ken is a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patchplants.com\/plants\/kentia-palm-17\/\">Kentia Palm<\/a> that can handle difficult growing conditions. Boasting long leaves that grow from a narrow base, Ken is excellent for filling corners without taking up too much floor-space. Place in front of a blank wall to add drama and cast beautiful shadows. We couldn&#8217;t resist adding him to our group photo above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pippa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring serenity into your home with Pippa the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patchplants.com\/plants\/peace-lily-164\/?variant=318\">peace lily<\/a>. Thanks to soft, dark green folliage, year-round flowers and a love for shady spots, Pippa is a great option for adding zen to empty corners of your home. Yes&#8230; we put her in front of a bright sunny window but we know for next time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mindfulchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/patch-plants-kitchen-mobile.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1895\" data-link=\"http:\/\/blog.mindfulchef.com\/?attachment_id=1895\" class=\"wp-image-1895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/patch-plants-kitchen-mobile.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/patch-plants-kitchen-mobile-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Left Pippa, bottom shelf Rapunzel, middle shelf Penny<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mindfulchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sanchia-patch-plants-.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1896\" data-link=\"http:\/\/blog.mindfulchef.com\/?attachment_id=1896\" class=\"wp-image-1896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sanchia-patch-plants-.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sanchia-patch-plants--225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Big Ken and Sanchia<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

With glossy coin shaped leaves, Penny is the perfect little houseplant for a shelf or desk &#8211; spot her next to the mixing bowl on the middle shelf above. Some say if you place a coin in her soil she will bring you wealth and good fortune!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Rapunzel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another low maintenance number, Rapunzel, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patchplants.com\/gb\/en\/plants\/golden-pothos-110\">devil\u2019s ivy<\/a>, is the most versatile of house plants. Rapunzel&#8217;s heart-shaped locks grow quickly and  hang beautifully, ideal for placing on bookshelves. We put her on the bottom shelf next to our artichokes. As well as greening up any nook, Rapunzel will get to work to cleanse your air of unwelcome pollutants &#8211; it&#8217;s a win win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mindfulchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Fearne-Myles-Giles.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Fearne-Myles-Giles.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Fearne-Myles-Giles-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Fearne Cotton in the kitchen with Founders Myles &amp; Giles, ready to cook up a Mindful meal with an abundance of fresh herbs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
