plants are your new best friends. Let's
0:39
get into it.
0:41
First up, we've got the African violet
0:42
mermaid's kiss. And let me tell you,
0:44
this little beauty is basically a floral
0:47
teacup come to life. Picture soft
0:50
velvety petals in dreamy shades of
0:52
lavender and blush, perched on fuzzy
0:54
leaves like it just stepped out of a
0:56
fairy tale window box. It's compact
0:59
enough for your favorite antique shelf,
1:01
yet bold enough to steal the spotlight
1:03
in any cottagecore setup. This isn't
1:06
just a plant, it's a vibe. Give it some
1:09
bright indirect light, keep the soil
1:11
slightly moist, and it'll reward you
1:13
with blooms that look like they belong
1:15
in a hand painted story book. Perfect
1:17
for adding a touch of whimsy without
1:19
trying too hard.
1:22
Next on our cottagecore plant list is
1:24
the southern maiden hair fern. And wow,
1:27
this one feels like it was plucked
1:28
straight from an enchanted forest floor.
1:31
Its delicate lace-like fronds dance on
1:33
wiry black stems, giving major secret
1:36
garden energy without being overly
1:38
dramatic. It's the kind of plant that
1:40
makes you want to sip tea in a vintage
1:42
night gown while reading poetry. Just
1:44
tuck it into a terracotta pot, set it
1:47
somewhere humid like your bathroom or a
1:49
shady kitchen nook, and let it soften up
1:51
your space with pure ferny magic.
1:54
Low-key moody, effortlessly charming,
1:57
and totally on brand for that cottage in
1:59
the woods aesthetic.
2:01
Coming in hot, or should I say hardeyed,
2:04
is the string of hearts silver glory.
2:06
The ultimate trailing plant for your
2:08
cottagecore daydreams.
2:10
Imagine silver splashed little
2:12
heart-shaped leaves cascading like
2:14
delicate ribbons from a weathered window
2:16
sill or hanging basket, catching soft
2:19
afternoon light like something out of a
2:21
vintage romance novel. It's dainty but
2:24
not fragile. Romantic without being
2:27
highmaintenance.
2:28
Give it bright indirect light, a bit of
2:31
dry soil between waterings, and this
2:34
beauty just keeps growing longer,
2:36
fuller, and more swoonw worthy by the
2:38
week. It's basically plant poetry for
2:41
your home, the kind that turns a simple
2:43
shelf into a whimsical moment.
2:46
Now, let's talk about English ivy and
2:48
Marie, the climbing queen of cottagecore
2:51
charm. This variegated version brings
2:54
soft green leaves edged in creamy white
2:57
like nature's lace trimming crawling up
2:59
your bookshelf or trailing from a
3:01
hanging pot. It gives off major old
3:04
English cottage vibes like it should be
3:06
growing on stone walls next to a
3:08
thatched roof. It's perfect for that
3:11
cozy livedin feelth think antique wood,
3:14
floral curtains, and this ivy weaving
3:16
through it all. It's hearty, loves
3:19
cooler temps, and thrives with a bit of
3:21
indirect light and regular misting.
3:24
Honestly, it's not just decor, it's
3:27
atmosphere.
3:29
All right, next up is the cichlamin
3:31
maurice Dryden. And this plant is pure
3:34
Victorian romance in a pot. With its
3:37
silvery marbled leaves and soft swept
3:40
back blooms in shades of icy lavender
3:42
and white, it looks like it belongs in a
3:44
handwritten love letter sealed with wax.
3:47
It's got that moody elegance cottage
3:49
core dreams are made of delicate,
3:51
graceful, but with just enough flare to
3:54
catch your eye every time you walk by.
3:56
Tuck it into a ceramic pot, keep it in a
3:59
cool spot with filtered light, and don't
4:01
overwater it. It likes a little mystery.
4:04
This one doesn't just sit pretty, it
4:06
sets a whole tone.
4:08
Let's spice things up a bit with the
4:10
kalencho kalandiva red. The bold little
4:12
firecracker of the cottagecore bunch.
4:15
This plant brings those rich, velvety
4:18
red blooms that pop like they were made
4:20
to contrast all the soft florals and
4:22
muted pastels around them. It's compact,
4:25
sturdy, and kind of a showoff, but in
4:28
the best way possible. The dark green
4:30
leaves give it a classic look, while the
4:32
clusters of layered petals feel like
4:34
tiny roses you didn't have to fuss over.
4:37
It loves bright light, barely needs
4:39
water, and somehow always looks like it
4:41
belongs next to a gingham tablecloth or
4:44
a freshly baked pie. It's the pop of

color your cozy corner didn't know it
4:48
needed. Now we're getting downright

right on your windows sill. It's got
5:06
that old soul charm. The kind of plant

lace doily and a well-loved book. And
5:14
the scent, light, fresh, and just enough
5:17
to make the whole room feel sweeter.
5:19
Give it sunlight. Let the soil dry a bit
5:22
between waterings, and it'll bloom like
5:24
it's writing you love poems all season
5:26
long. Cottage core dreams sealed with a
5:29
floral kiss.
5:31
Next up is the Rex Beonia Esargo. And
5:34
this one's got personality for days. Its
5:37
swirling spiral-shaped leaves look like

wild. Deep greens, silvers, and purples
5:46
twisting into a pattern that literally
5:48
resembles a snail shell. It's quirky,
5:51
dramatic, and totally belongs in a cozy
5:53
