Who knew plants could have such cool patterns? I certainly didn’t until I stumbled upon tiger stripe houseplants. Now, I’m hooked!
These plants are perfect for adding a touch of wild to any room.
1. Tiger Senkoi (Tiger Stripe Kenoi)
Distinctive Features
The Tiger Senkoi, also known as Tiger Stripe Kenoi, is a real showstopper in my living room. Its egg-shaped pale green leaves are adorned with purple or maroon streaks, reminiscent of a tiger’s coat. During summer, it treats us to small purple-green flowers, adding an extra pop of color to our space.
2. Silver Squill (Hin)

I’ve placed my Silver Squill, or Hin, in a spot that gets both sun and shade. Its silver leaves, variegated with green splotches, catch the light beautifully. It’s become a conversation starter whenever we have guests over!

Hanging in our kitchen, the Tiger Fern is a true charmer. Its cascading fronds of yellow-green foliage create a waterfall effect that’s simply mesmerizing. It’s the perfect plant for adding some drama to any room.
4. Elephander Tiger
Standout Features
Also known as the zebra plant, the Elephander Tiger’s claim to fame is its distinct tiger pattern stem. It’s like having a miniature jungle right on our windowsill!
