The year 2020 taught us the importance of cultivating the spaces we inhabit: our homes, our offices, our home offices! One essential in enhancing these everyday spaces has been houseplants. Keep those mood boosting, stress reducing vibes going with our favorite plant trends of 2021. 

In 2020, we added so many plant babies to our homes. They beautified our living spaces and gave us something to care for. As we continue through 2021, we’re keeping those mood boosting, stress reducing vibes going. From old school trends making a comeback to brand new plant vibes, we’ve rounded up our favorites trends of the year so far.
