At our garden centre in Fergus, we have the most beautiful selections waiting for you, perfectly aligned with the plant trends of 2025. See you soon?
Why Green is Your Best New Year’s Resolution
Green foliage plants are more than just decoration. They purify the air, boost your mood, and add a natural, calming vibe to your interior. Let’s face it—they look fantastic too. A house filled with greenery feels like a mini urban jungle, a space to relax, recharge, and escape from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you’re a plant expert or a complete beginner, there’s always a plant to suit your style.
The Foliage Plant Trends for 2025
This year, it’s all about big, bold leaves, unique patterns, and versatility. Think plants that are not only beautiful but also make a statement in your living room. Here are some popular foliage plants to help you kick off your year with a green thumb:
- Alocasia, the Queen of Leaves
With its striking, large leaves, the Alocasia is a real showstopper. Whether you choose the striped-stemmed Alocasia Zebrina or the dark, glossy-leafed Alocasia Polly, this plant deserves a prime spot in your home.
- Calathea, the Dancing Beauty
Calatheas not only boast unique leaf patterns but also have a special trick—their leaves close at night and open again during the day. It’s like your plant is alive (technically, it is). Available in various shapes and sizes, there’s a Calathea for every corner.
- Monstera, the Timeless Classic
Known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, the Monstera remains a firm favourite. Its large, perforated leaves instantly bring tropical vibes to your home. Bonus: it’s relatively easy to care for.
- Strelitzia, a Touch of Paradise
The Strelitzia, or Bird of Paradise, transports you to sunnier destinations. With its large leaves and striking presence, it’s the perfect plant for a stylish living room.
- Ficus Lyrata, the Bold Beauty
Also known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, the Ficus Lyrata is perfect for creating an urban jungle vibe. Its large, glossy, violin-shaped leaves make it a standout choice for spacious, light-filled rooms.
Caring for Your New Green Friends
Bringing new plants home? Wonderful! But how do you keep them healthy so they’re still thriving in February? Here are some golden care tips:
- Light, but Not Too Much: Most foliage plants prefer indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight.
- Water Wisely: It’s better to underwater than overwater. Check the soil before watering.
- Mist Often: Many foliage plants love high humidity. A gentle mist with a spray bottle works wonders.
- Show Some Love: Talk to your plants and give them the occasional compliment—it actually helps (or so we like to believe).

The beauty of foliage plants is their versatility—they work everywhere.
- Living Room: Go big with statement plants like the Monstera or Strelitzia. Add stars like the Kentia Palm or Dracaena Marginata for a lush vibe.
- Bathroom: Warm and humid, bathrooms are ideal for plants like ferns or peace lilies. Transform your space into a green spa.
- Bedrooms: Air-purifying plants like snake plants or ZZ plants (Zamioculcas) improve sleep quality. They’re perfect for bedrooms and kids’ rooms.
- Home Office: Add greenery to your workspace for a calming effect.
