Long and Strong Trailing Plants
This year we’re looking to make more use of vertical space: hello, trailing plants! Plants like the Philodendron Green and the Pothos are perfect to add to a trendy, leather plant hanger.
Patterned Plants All the Way
While we love our solid-colored green plants, we do love a pattern! Check out our new Ficus Tineke, or variegated rubber tree, known for its beautiful pink, green, and yellow leaves.
Mini Plants Will Make a Comeback
Teeny tiny plants are back and better than ever. From miniature succulents to air plants, smaller plants are making a comeback. As we spend time at home, we’re adding plant love to even the tiny spaces, including bookshelves, windowsills, and nightstands.
