HOUSEPLANTS THE TRENDING OF 2023

Just as fashion and paint colors are tracked to see what’s in and what’s out, there are houseplant trends as well. These beauties will influence what you choose for your home.

Meet the Trending Houseplants for 2023

Is your fiddle leaf fig acting a little too... simple? Is the Monstera in the corner gradually becoming white noise in visual form? Don’t worry, lovers of indoor plants, to stay on the cutting edge, we’ve prepared the ideal verdant match for your house with these seven trending 2023 houseplants.

1. Alocasia Black Velvet

This is a very demanded option that’ll reign over in 2023 as a low-light houseplant. The Alocasia Black Velvet has of course black velvety leaves which leaves evidence that this easy-going plant doesn’t require much light. Alocasia plants thrive in indirect light that is between mild and bright. Keep them out of direct, bright sunlight and even dim light.

Give them fresh water once to twice a week (less frequently in cooler weather, more frequently in warmer weather), letting the potting mix become halfway dry in between applications. If the air in your home is dry, think about adding a humidifier or pebble tray to help this plant thrive.

2. Bird of Paradise Tree

What better way to make a statement than with a tree-like indoor plant, which is increasingly becoming a permanent fixture in interior design? Oversized plants, which are six feet or taller, fit the proportions of high ceilings better and, because of their height, can stand alone as a living artwork. Although Strelitzia (a.k.a. Bird of Paradise) plants thrive best in a sunny location, they prefer bright light (both direct and indirect). The optimum placement is typically near a north or east-facing window, or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. Definitely one of the seven trendiest houseplants for 2023.

3. Cat Palm

We’ll observe plant parents opting to invest in plants that can adapt to numerous places in their home, including the outdoors, as the cost of living rises. The ideal choice for indoor-outdoor plants is a hardy plant that can withstand significant temperature changes and flourish under varying light conditions. For this reason, the Cat Palm (Chamaedora Cataractarum) is the perfect option and one that will be a trending houseplant in 2023.

Place your plants in the areas where you spend the most time, which are typically pleasant interior settings in the winter and outdoor patios and balconies in the summer. Bright, indirect light is what the luscious Cat Palm requires for proper growth. Water till it freely flows into the saucer when the soil is roughly 50% dry.

4. Stromanthe Triostar

Dark foliage and variegated plants are more adaptable to different areas of your home because they can tolerate a little bit less light than their all-green competitors. To really make your vibrant leaf stand out, try arranging it next to a bright white wall or pairing it with the complementary color of the plant. Yet another very interesting houseplant that will be trending in 2023.

Bright, indirect light is excellent for the Stromanthe Triostar, so make sure you have that. Although the plant can endure low light, direct sunlight is likely to scorch the leaves and cause them to lose their vibrant color. It is recommended to water thoroughly until water drips through the drainage holes when 25% or 50% of the soil is dry. When growth naturally slows in the winter, decrease how often you water.
