The Top 5 Plant Trends to Watch in 2025
- Written by The Women's Magazine
As we move into the second half of 2025, demand for indoor greenery shows no signs of slowing. Steven Brett, Owner of Prestigious Plantscapes – Australia’s trusted leader in commercial indoor plant design, installation and maintenance – shares the top trends set to dominate for the remainder of the year.
1. Oversized Plants
“Big, bold greenery like Palms, Elephant Ears and Oversized Peace Lilies are making a statement in both homes and commercial spaces,” says Steven. “These plants don't just fill space – they filter air, create natural dividers and add real impact to a room’s design.” Although not necessarily a new trend, these plants have long been a popular choice and continue to be a staple in homes and businesses across Australia.
2. Hydro Plants and Propagation Stations
Plants grown in water, such as snake plants and pothos cuttings, are rising in popularity for their low maintenance and visual appeal. “Propagation stations are an easy way to bring greenery into smaller spaces,” Steven says. “Plus, they’re a real conversation starter; many people don’t realise that plants can thrive simply by staying in water.”
3. Variegated Plants
These plants are always a favourite among plant lovers. With their striking looks and usually higher price tag, they add a real touch of originality to any space. Picture the classic monstera, but with beautiful white markings on the leaves. They’re a gorgeous investment that will stay on trend in 2025 and beyond.
4. Vertical Gardens
“More businesses are turning to vertical gardens to soften corporate spaces, improve air quality and create a calmer atmosphere,” Steven explains. “With their low maintenance needs, or the option to outsource care, they’re an easy and creative way to bring life to an otherwise bland wall.”
5. Terrariums
Finally, miniature gardens in glass containers continue to charm. “Terrariums are a fantastic way to bring nature indoors, particularly where space is limited,” Steven adds. From open dish gardens to closed, self-sustaining ecosystems, terrariums offer a versatile and creative outlet for those looking to embrace greenery in a compact, stylish form.
