Abstract

The plant with the most votes from an independent panel of judges was the African Violet. So we are pleased to welcome the African Violet back as this year's Favourite Office Plant. The African violet aka Saintpaulia Matt Appleby, Editor of Horticulture Week chose the African violet "It's time for a flowering indoor plant revival. I think foliage is peaking post-pandemic." Lisa Wilkinson of Pro Landscaper gave the African violet 'a big shout out' - as it's very nostalgic for her. ' While award winning garden designer Claudia de Yong chose the African violet because even though it "Requires a little more upkeep than other indoor plants, it has the advantage of being good for those with little space. The plant will add a splash of colour at various times throughout the year.'"African violets, these would make the perfect desktop plant, allowing everyone to have one, and have something to care for themselves," was what decided Michael Perry's - aka Mr Plant Geek - choice. A vote for this plant was also given by Rona Wheeldon Of Flowerona. Tied in third place Coming in third place are two plants, the Hoya & the Clusia.
