Welcome to Bangkok international exotic plants, where hundreds of vendors from all over the world showcase the newest and TRENDIEST plants to the market - for year 2024 and beyond. This episode is very long and dense with information, so I encourage you to watch it over a few sittings so as not to feel overwhelmed. As a plant expert, even I must admit that I am seeing most of these plants for the first time in my life.
This exhibition is filled with rare plants, many of them recently discovered or created by very determined hunters and growers. Anthuriums still dominate the market, but we come across a plethora of gorgeous variegated and mint Alocasias. These alocasias will certainly be a major plant trend this year. Keep your eyes peeled for the many forms of Monstera Thai Constellations, as well as variegated philodendron hybrids, and beautiful variegated homalomenas.
If you frequent this channel, you would know that I share the same fondness for non-aroid plants. We come across a wide variety of rare and interesting plants that might have strong implications for the future houseplant market and in landscaping.
Where possible, I include the name of the booths and prices of the plants. But for those who want to make a mental conversion from the price tags shown, $1USD is equivalent to 35 Thai Baht.
Shows like this is important as major players from all over the world converge to trade, diversify, and distribute these plants back in their regions. It is also in these shows that we get to spot plant trends whether you are a rare plant collector or landscaper. If you missed this show and would like to attend the next one, Bangkok International Exotic Plants happen every quarter and you can visit their facebook page for the latest.
Enjoy the show!
