Houseplants have become extremely trendy in the last year, and it looks like a trend that’s set to stay with Spotify releasing playlists designed for houseplants and houseplants appearing more in supermarkets worldwide. There are currently over 470 million views on TikTok for the hashtag ‘houseplants’ alone!
With this in mind, SaveOnEnergy.com/uk wanted to find out which plants we covet most on TikTok based on the number of views for each plant type.
