Every time you hop on the internet, someone is talking about yet another trendy plant product to try. Open up TikTok, there’s someone mentioning a new item you’ve never heard of before. Head to a website where you can buy said item, and it’s sold out! How are you meant to keep up? Plus, there are so many great products out there that it can be hard to decide whether or not you actually want to go ahead and use it.
We’ve found some really cool items that can help you care for your plants and grow your house plant collection. From a really awesome indoor smart garden to fuzzy gloves you can use to clean your plants to sustainable plant fertilizer, here are six trendy plant products worth trying.
Click and Grow Smart Garden 9 Pro

While this “easier than hydroponics" growing system is on the pricier side of things, we can’t keep this one off of our list of plant products to try. With the Click & Grow smart garden you can grow vegetables, herbs, lettuces, and more. The Smart Garden 9 is a great place to start. It links up to a Bluetooth-connected app so you can learn all about the plants you’re growing, when they’re ready to be harvested, and more. This is really great if you love to cook with fresh herbs. They grow super fast and, thanks to a water reservoir, you don’t need to worry about missing a watering because you only have to refill the reservoir every few weeks.
If you have a ton of larger plants, odds are you need to support them in some way. If you decide to use a stake or moss pole, you need to be able to connect them to it without damaging your plant’s stem. This super strong Velcro garden tie is so helpful for just that. It keeps your plants secure when attached to a stake, doesn’t harm the stem, and can be reused. Plus, it’s green so it isn’t very noticeable wrapped around your plants. It comes on a super long roll that you can cut up to fit your needs.

People are falling in love with this fertilizer and it’s no surprise why! If you love sustainability, this product is right up your alley—it's made from recycled supermarket food waste. It will help your plant thrive by providing it with essential nutrients. Plus, it’s infused with rosemary oil which will smell lovely in your home. Your houseplants will look lush, have stronger roots, and more blooms. And who doesn’t want that?

The Sill
If you have a large plant collection, repotting them is no joke. It can get really messy, which is why we are loving these plant tarps. These are made from plastic vinyl, roll up, and can be secured with snaps for easy storage. Plant tarps are really helpful because they create a workspace for you to repot your plants and make cleaning up the mess really easily. Simply repot over the tarp and when you’re done unsnap one corner and the soil will slide carefully into your garbage can. We particularly love this one that’s handmade by the woman-owned La Vie Botanique because it comes in a fun metallic color.
Bloomscape Microfiber Dusting Gloves

Dusting your plants is one of those things that people frequently forget to do when it comes to plant care. However, it’s important to dust leaves so they can absorb sunlight better. This is key for photosynthesis. These microfiber gloves make it easy to get this task done. Simply slip the gloves on, place one hand behind the leaf to support it and use the other to remove dust, dirt, and more. So easy to use, you won’t be able to stop cleaning your plants (though your roommates or family may start to think you're into wearing gloves indoors).
