2025 favorites: Strong demand for container material
One of the most notable developments in 2025 was the significant increase in demand for starter material shipped via sea container. Fleurizon offers an extensive collection of container-grown starter plants, and several varieties proved especially popular with customers.

Among the top performers were Sansevieria laurentii and Sansevieria superba, two timeless classics that remain staples in the indoor houseplant market. Their durability, clean appearance, and consistent performance continue to make them reliable choices for growers.

Another standout was Cycas revoluta, commonly known as the Sago Palm. Praised for its elegant foliage, drought tolerance, and low maintenance requirements, this sun-loving plant has been an exceptionally strong seller and a valuable addition to many growers' programs.

Pachira aquatica, or the Money Tree, also ranked among Fleurizon's hottest container items. Available in both single-stem and braided forms, the braided Pachira in particular has drawn attention for its distinctive appearance and strong consumer appeal.

Completing the list is Echinocactus grusonii, the Golden Barrel Cactus. This striking cactus remains a favorite for desert and rock gardens, succulent collections, and decorative container use.

Partnering farms with over 30 years of experience
In addition to sea container material, Fleurizon continues to collaborate with several farms producing premium short Sansevieria, Agaves, and other specialty varieties suitable for air freight. These farms bring more than 30 years of growing experience to the table, and customers consistently recognize the superior quality of the plants they receive.
