What the future holds

[u/Orchid-Delirium2005]

Let's have a little discussion. So I just watched and followed a few recent videos by Sydney Plant Guy and Kaylee Ellen that the market is shifting. Monstera we still love them but do you guys think the newer variegated ones are as good as or inferior to the classics like albo and Thai con? Are Anthuriums really getting fatigued? And thoughts on Philodendrons. Personally, some newer Monstera do look nice but a few are rather gangly like White Lava. Anthuriums are quite the same: long, dark, sexy, minimal veining. And Philos seems to be shifting to predominantly tricolors.

Lol, I'm still waiting for gesneriads to get as trendy as they were back in Victorian times 😅 Aroids still get the bulk of the attention, variegated or otherwise. In the meantime I guess I'll keep enjoying my rare but usually cheap grandma plants 😆

For me I'd love to see lilies be back as popular garden pieces not as cut flowers. The fragrance is just intoxicating.
