Peperomia Argyreia

They are very similar to Pilea peperomiodes, easy to care for and propagate. In fact, because the Pilea peperomiodes have become so popular people have started to reject them as 'cool'. In the US, where they much less available at stores, they go for up to 45$ a plant. Whereas in Europe, this plant usually only costs about 10 euros. Instagram plant lovers have started to drift their admiration away from the regular ol' Pilea Peperomiodes to the Watermelon Peperomiodes.
Monstera Deliciosa

The classic mother monstera will always continue to be a favourite on social media. We are reminded of it every Monday morning with the users posting images of their Monsteras and #monsteramonday.

Monstera Adanosonii, commonly misnamed as Monstera Obliqua

While the Monstera Deliciosa will always be a favourite, the mini Swiss Cheese plant is becoming just as popular. This plant is often mistaken, referred to as the Monstera Obliqua, however, the Obliqua is a very rare and fragile Monstera which does not survive easily in households like its sister lookalikes, the Monstera Adansonii and Monstera Acuminata.

Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma

Or otherwise known as Mini Monstera, or Mini Ginny. Despite the nickname, mini Monstera, this plant is actually not a Monstera at all, but rather looks similar and grows similar as well.
The #rhaphidophoratetrasperma has only 740 posts on Instagram, but is gaining popularity.
Ficus Lyrata

Or popularly known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, is admired for its huge leafs. However, this plant is notoriously fickle and hard for most household growers to care for. Many Instagramers are growing tired of this beauty and finding it to be a bit overrated.
