Trends come and go but as we reflect on another year under behind us, one thing seems to always remain a timeless constant— the innate human need (and passion!) for adorning our spaces with lush living greenery. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned enthusiast, the allure of vibrant foliage continues to bring solace and delight to our homes and our everyday lives.
As we look back on 2023, we're thrilled to unveil the standout products and collections that resonated most with our customers from coast to coast. Here’s to another year of greening up your space!
Going Bold
While neutrals never go out of style, we’ve seen a shift towards the bold— think eclectically decorated spaces, ornate details, and bolder colors. Cue in Midnight, the newest addition to our ceramic color palette and the perfect bold match to some of our most popular plants.
The New “It” Plant
Rustic and airy reigned in 2023 as we saw a new favorite rise to fame: The Black Olive Tree, also known as Shady Lady. This beautifully architectural plant has been nearly impossible to keep in stock as both interior designers and plant novices pine for the look.
Easy Care All The Way
This was a year of travel, and we saw more and more customers opting for drought-tolerant and low maintenance plants that wouldn’t mind their increasingly busy schedules. Notably, the Snake Plant was a favorite thanks to its ability to withstand weeks and even months without water.
Styling Small Spaces
Limited square footage did not get in your way of bringing beautiful statement greenery into your homes. In 2023, we saw more and more tiny space styling, finding creative ways to bring studios and one bedroom apartments to life with vibrant living greenery. Special shoutout to this family of five living in a one bedroom NYC apartment!
Gifting Green
This year our customers loved giving Pileas to loved ones near and far! Could it be because even New York Times agrees they make great gifts? Either way, we’re thrilled so many friends are sending out “friendship plants”
