🌿 Top Indoor Plant Trends in Melbourne for Spring 2025: What’s In & What’s Out
Lee-Anne FerrariHello plant lovers! Lee-Anne here from Plant House Melbourne 👋 and I cannot tell you how excited I am for Spring 2025. The warmer weather means brighter light, happier roots, and most importantly… new plant trends sweeping across Melbourne homes.
If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for what’s hot (and what’s not) in the world of indoor greenery. So grab a cuppa, and let’s dive into the Top Indoor Plant Trends in Melbourne for Spring 2025.
🌱 What’s In
1. Variegated Plants: The Show-Stoppers
Think splashes of white, streaks of pink, or marbled greens. Variegated leaves are basically the plant world’s version of high fashion. In Melbourne right now, plants like Variegated Monstera, Philodendron White Princess, and even the Chain of Hearts with silver or pink tones are flying out of shops.
They’re statement-makers, conversation starters, and honestly? They’re just gorgeous. If you’ve been on the fence about adding one, Spring is the perfect time to let them shine.
2. Trailing Vines: The “Effortlessly Chic” Look
Whether it’s a Pothos, Philodendron Brasil, or the ever-romantic String of Pearls, trailing plants are a Melbourne staple right now. People are hanging them from shelves, popping them on high bookcases, or letting them cascade across home office desks.
Trailing vines instantly soften a space, and the best part? They’re super Instagram-worthy. Who doesn’t love a good #shelfie moment with a plant draping down the side?
3. Low-Maintenance Legends
Let’s be real: not everyone has the time to baby their plants. That’s why low-maintenance Melbourne indoor plants are in in a big way this season. Think ZZ Plants, Snake Plants, and the trusty Peace Lily.
These beauties thrive on a bit of neglect (yes, really!). Perfect for busy professionals, plant newbies, or anyone who loves greenery but isn’t ready to go full-time plant parent.
4. Biophilic Design: Living with Nature
This is more than a trend — it’s a movement. Biophilic design is all about blending the natural world into your home, and Melbourne interiors are leaning into it hard this Spring.
We’re seeing clusters of plants used as natural “room dividers”, greenery softening modern lines, and plants paired with earthy textures like rattan, clay, and wood. It’s not just about having plants, it’s about living with them.
🚫 What’s Out
Okay, so what’s on the way out this season?
-
Plastic plant pots with no drainage. They’re a one-way ticket to root rot, and Melbourne plant lovers are getting savvy about the importance of airflow and drainage.
-
High-maintenance divas. Unless you’re a seasoned collector, plants that demand constant misting, humidity tweaking, or daily check-ups (looking at you, Calatheas 👀) are taking a back seat to easier-going companions.
-
One-plant rooms. The days of a lonely fiddle leaf fig in the corner are gone. This Spring, it’s about creating lush plant communities — more is more!
🌿 Final Thoughts from Lee-Anne
Trends come and go, but one thing’s for sure: Melbourne indoor plants are more than just décor. They’re little slices of joy, personality, and connection to nature in our homes.
Whether you’re chasing the drama of a variegated Monstera, styling your office with trailing vines, or simply loving your hardy Snake Plant, this Spring is all about finding what makes your home feel greener and happier.
