In the world of indoor gardening, 2026 promises a vibrant and innovative landscape. From collectible houseplants to bold and colorful planters, there's a lot to look forward to.

Collectible Houseplants

Next year, collectible houseplants are set to be a major trend. Unusual varieties are set to become more like collectible items, with options like the Monstera 'Thai Constellation' and raspberry-colored air plants leading the charge. For those who prefer a more focused collection, gathering many varieties of one type of plant, such as different types of orchid, is also an option.

Living Wall Art

Living wall art is another exciting trend for 2026. This involves curating indoor plants as art exhibitions, which can be achieved through DIY methods or using vertical planters and glassless photo frames. The concept of living wall art has not been attributed to any specific creator, but it's expected to be a popular houseplant trend, utilizing wall space for vertical plant displays.

Bold Plant Pots

Bold plant pots are also a trend for 2026, with a focus on using colorful and unique planters to enhance and showcase houseplants. From mushroom watering globes on Amazon to vintage-style pots with timeless floral patterns, there's a wide variety of options to choose from. For those who prefer a subtle approach to the bold planter trend, a vintage-style pot with a red color and a timeless floral pattern is available.

Charming Planters

For those looking for a more traditional option, a charming planter with sage green stripes and a scalloped edge is available in a set of 2 for small and medium-sized plants.

Blue Houseplants

For those who want to add a pastel hue to their indoor plant displays, blue star fern and echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' are excellent choices. A soft pink anthurium is also a popular indoor flowering plant for 2026, available at Walmart.

Automated Watering Systems

To help with over or underwatering issues, an automated watering system is available on Amazon. For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, watering globes are attractive additions to plant pots and come in many styles, such as mushroom watering globes from Amazon.

Soil Moisture Meters

To ensure the health of your houseplants, a soil moisture meter is a useful tool. This device helps to check if a plant's soil has sufficiently dried before watering, preventing issues like houseplant root rot.

The 2026 Color of the Year

The Garden Media Group named 'faded petal' as the 2026 color of the year, which can be found on the philodendron 'Pink Princess' (available at The Sill). Refreshing indoor plant pots with bolder colors and shapes is recommended for adding life to houseplant displays.

Overall, the world of indoor gardening is set to be more vibrant and innovative than ever in 2026. From collectible houseplants to bold and colorful planters, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
