Since then, a lot of time and money has been spent on the green interest. Both the parrot plant and splendour have had their five minutes of fame.
- Every autumn, customers come to our store with panic in their eyes. "Ola Nordmann" goes on holiday for four weeks and comes home to what some refer to as "the valley of death", says Tessi Werner, who together with Hedda Braathen and Camilla Storemark runs the flower shop Botanik at Majorstua in Oslo.
- As we in Botanik usually say, you only realize how happy you are with plants when they are no longer there. We therefore sell quantities of plants when autumn comes.
But which plants are relevant now? Here's the experts' verdict:
1. Pink leaves
Pink, green plants? Yes please! In autumn, the green plants may have completely pink leaves, or leaves with touches of pink tones.
Cristina Commodaro at Backland Flowers in Trondheim says that they see a clear trend now, and that is that customers want leaves with more colors than just green.
- Anything that is variegated, striped or dotted is very popular. As soon as you bring in another color in addition to the green, it's even more exciting, she says, highlighting plants such as Syngonium Mojito, Syngonium Albo and the more common Dieffenbachia as popular.
- Green plants with pink foliage have been super popular, especially the Calathea peacock plant and Syngonium podophyllum. The latter also comes in a more reddish tone, which we know will fly out when the temperatures drop, says Werner.
2. The weirder, the better
Mottled, texture and colors - in autumn the plants should stand out.
- I make a move for strange plants. Whether they are weird in the first place, or have grown crooked. You can find that in the succulent and cacti world. There are many strange shapes and special leaves, advises Commodaro.
And if you want the very rarest and rarest plants, you may have to shell out.
- Otherwise, it is exciting to follow the somewhat more unusual plant trends. Dare I say that we now also see the nerds in the plant world. Those who collect, and who are willing to pay NOK 6,000 for a small green plant that is labeled "unique and very rare". At Botanik, we have access to the strangest of the strangest, and often take in rare pearls to order, says Tessi Werner and adds:
- Personally, I get slightly nervous about having to water this green gold until mother or father collects it, but those who buy them treat them as their newborn child and can have them as long as they live.
At the store The plant room in Bergen, owner Lilli Jane Lønning says that they notice many of the same trends.
- We notice that people want "statement pieces", preferably large plants or plants with large leaves, says Lønning.
3. The porcelain plant
A type of plant you may know from the past is the Hoya porcelain plant.
- There are many people who are happy with Hoya, we call ourselves Hoya-heads. There are around 800 types of the plant. It is easy and willing to get involved, and there is a nice culture of sharing within the environment. That way you can get hold of many different ones, advises Cristina Commodaro at Backland Flowers.
- We are a bit concerned that it should also be possible to get hold of a completely ordinary plant. Here we sell many hanging plants, such as Hoya. We also sell an extremely large amount of the usual golden vine, says Lønning.
4. Sparkling details
There are many types of green plants that almost have a sparkling silver shimmer in their leaves. This is highlighted by two of the experts as one of the autumn's trends.
The silver vine is an example of this plant, which is easy to deal with. It is willing to grow, and likes to spread outwards. How about hanging it up?
5. Cuttings
Another plant trend that stands out is the large share culture. That way, you can nurture your own plants, and, for example, switch to new favourites.
- Not everything will be able to become a plant, so you have to be careful so you don't pay too much, says Lønning.
6. Tropical vibes
The green plants can also remind us of better times in autumn.
- You can't say much positive about the pandemic, but one thing it has taught us is to enjoy ourselves at home. And we notice that people miss travelling. The tropical plants fly out the door. It is not quite the same as sitting at home under a palm tree and drinking coffee. But in 2021, it's the closest we'll get to the Bahamas. And if the Bahamas can't come to us this autumn, then we get to take the Bahamas home, says Tessi Werner in Botanik.
- People still want special plants that are difficult to get hold of, which are often new on the market. Like Monstera Pinnatipartita, which has an exotic feel, says Lønning from Planterrommet.
THESE ARE THE PLANTS APPLICABLE THIS AUTUMN
Pink leaves, glittering silver and stingy plants are what apply in autumn.
After The Monstera hit Norwegian homes like a bomb a couple of years ago, a nascent interest in special green plants was born among many.
Since then, a lot of time and money has been spent on the green interest. Both the parrot plant and splendour have had their five minutes of fame.
