As we enter the last few months of 2024, there’s still time to embrace the year’s hottest houseplant trends. With Black Friday just around the corner, now is the perfect time to snag deals on the latest houseplant styles before they’re gone. From bold foliage to retro favorites, this year’s plant styles are all about making a statement. Whether you’re a dedicated plant parent or looking for low-maintenance alternatives, you can easily incorporate these houseplants into your home decor. Best of all, with artificial options that look just as good as the real thing, keeping your space stylish has never been easier.
Here are the top 2024 houseplant trends you don’t want to miss—and how you can make them work in your home before the year is over.
1. Bold Foliage and Variegation
Variegated plants, known for their stunning multi-colored leaves, have dominated the houseplant scene in 2024. Plants like Philodendron Pink Princess, Variegated Monstera, and Alocasia Dragon Scale are especially sought after for their intricate patterns and vibrant colors. These plants are true showstoppers, bringing a bold and tropical flair to any room.
- Live Plant Tip: Variegated plants require a little extra care, especially when it comes to lighting. To maintain their unique colors, they need consistent indirect sunlight.
- Artificial Option: If you love the look but want to skip the upkeep, Vert Nook offers stunning artificial alternatives. Our Variegated Monstera and Variegated Alocasia mimic the beauty of live plants with none of the maintenance, making them the perfect choice for busy homes or low-light spaces.
Whether real or artificial, these bold foliage houseplants will elevate your decor and add a trendy, eye-catching element.
2. Larger Statement Plants
In 2024, large houseplants are making a big impact—literally. Ficus Altissima, Dracaena Janet Craig, and Alocasias are trending for their ability to transform spaces. Large plants make excellent statement pieces, creating a lush, green focal point without needing much additional decor.
- Live Plant Tip: While these plants can create an indoor jungle vibe, they often require significant space, light, and care.
- Artificial Option: Vert Nook’s 36″ Zebrina Leaf Alocasia is the ideal solution for anyone who wants a large statement plant without the upkeep. Its bold, striped leaves make a dramatic impact while being completely maintenance-free.
For those looking to make a statement with their greenery, large plants—whether live or artificial—are a great way to do it before the year ends.
3. Low-Maintenance Plants
As life gets busier, low-maintenance houseplants remain a top trend in 2024. Popular options like Pothos, Spider Plants, and Philodendrons thrive in low-light environments and require minimal attention, making them favorites for people who want greenery without the hassle.
- Live Plant Tip: These plants are perfect for beginners or anyone who prefers to keep things simple. They thrive with minimal watering and care, making them reliable companions.
- Artificial Option: While Vert Nook doesn’t carry specific low-maintenance plants like Pothos or Spider Plants, our artificial Serrated Leaf Alocasia and Olive Tree offer a similar lush look without any upkeep. Place them in any room, no matter the lighting conditions, and enjoy the greenery all year long.
Don’t let the year pass by without embracing the beauty of low-maintenance houseplants—whether real or faux.
4. Retro Plant Revival
In 2024, houseplants from the 1970s are making a strong comeback. Spider Plants, Boston Ferns, and Rubber Trees are some of the retro plants trending again, often seen in bohemian-style decor, including hanging macrame planters and vintage pots.
- Live Plant Tip: These plants are relatively easy to care for and grow well in various environments, making them great for adding a nostalgic yet modern touch to any space.
- Artificial Option: Even if you’re not into caring for live plants, you can still capture the retro aesthetic with Vert Nook’s artificial Variegated Monstera, which fits seamlessly into a boho-inspired room.
Retro plants are all about character and bringing back a sense of nostalgia, and you can join this houseplant trend before 2024 ends, with both live and artificial options.
5. Kokedama and Creative Displays
Kokedama, a Japanese technique of growing plants in moss balls, is another growing trend in 2024. These intricate, artistic plant displays are perfect for those looking for something unique and stylish. However, they require frequent care, as their exposed roots mean regular watering.
- Live Plant Tip: Kokedama is perfect for plant lovers who enjoy hands-on care. Keep these moss-covered plants in high-humidity areas and ensure they get regular watering.
- Artificial Option: While Vert Nook doesn’t offer Kokedama-specific plants, our artificial plants can be styled creatively in various containers or displays to achieve similar artistic and zen-like effects. You could also use one of our plants to DIY your own Kokedama.
If you’re looking to experiment with something a bit more artistic, Kokedama or creatively displayed artificial plants are an excellent way to round out your plant collection.
