Houseplant Heaven

Ellen C. Wells

Dümmen Orange recently released the 2026 catalog for its Welcome to the Jungle indoor succulent and foliage houseplant program. The collection has more than 80 varieties of the most popular categories.

What are some of their most popular? Tradescantia Nanouk, which happens to be the most highly sought after variety within the tradescantia class. And Dümmen has expanded availability of it, too. With its minty green, pink and magenta coloration and larger dense stems than other tradescantias, Nanouk makes a wonderful houseplant. Don’t count it out as an outdoor plant, too! Add it to shade combinations in your outdoor annuals program for something fun and new.

On the succulent side of things, Dümmen has added five new echeveria for 2026, including Blue Jay, Blue Lola, Emerald Ocean, Rainy Day and Tamasopo.

Succulents and foliage can be grown just about anywhere, so the Welcome to the Jungle Program can slip right into your growing schedule anywhere throughout the U.S. and Canada. And any of the 80 varieties will give you a relatively quick (as foliage goes) crop time of 10 to 14 weeks in 4- to 6-in. pots. And they’re low on the water-use requirements, too, so that’s good for keeping your resources down.

Welcome to the Jungle varieties are sourced from Dümmen’s farm in Antigua, Guatemala, which supplies high-quality clean unrooted cuttings, each packaged according to the variety’s individual needs for the healthiest cuttings possible. For more, visit na.dummenorange.com/site/en/catalogs. GP
