Comparing Plant Trends

[@LeafyConversations]

I have never been a fan of variegation. I never understood the hype on it, but like you I think it’s social media drawing folks in.

it seems to me that velvet leaf philos/moss poles were big in 2023, and anthuriums were big in 2024. i predict that people will continue to choose anthuriums over philos, and the hassle of moss pole maintenance has a lot to do with the trend. cane begonias were also very popular in 2024 as well as variegated alocasias. so, people were so afraid of root rot in 2023, that they were underwatering all their plants. i think they realize in 2024 that it’s ok to water copiously if your soil mix is well aerated, which gave them confidence to care for plants that enjoy moist soil like anthuriums, begonias, and alocasias.

It's crazy how the market changes so quick with plants. Variegated plants are cool for sure--but I hope the trend of "regular houseplants" comes back in 2025!

I know, even just seeing how much monstera albos have dropped in price is WILD
