Stop, look, and catch up

For us, a trade fair is much more than just setting up a beautiful stand. It is the moment when everything comes together. Products that you normally only see on a screen or in a catalog are suddenly right in front of you. That is why we brought a healthy dose of Evanthia to Aalsmeer. For three days, our assortment served as the starting point for new ideas, questions, and conversations.

We spoke with growers, customers, trading partners, and other familiar faces in the industry. We discussed new ideas, current market trends, and where the opportunities lie. Sometimes at length, sometimes in between appointments. But always valuable. We listened, shared our ideas, and went home with at least as much inspiration as we arrived with.

Less water, same quality

In various production regions, pressure on available water resources is increasing. As a result, growers are actively seeking crops that use water more efficiently without compromising on quality, uniformity, and ornamental value.

"We observe that growers are increasingly requesting varieties that maintain stable performance under challenging conditions. This is not only due to regulations but also because their customers are more explicitly demanding it."

‍

Evanthia supplies high-quality, fresh Rhapis excelsa seeds, sourced from Brazil. As these seeds have a limited shelf life, they are imported exclusively to order. This ensures you receive optimal quality and germination power as the foundation for successful cultivation.

An updated Evanthia presentation

This year, we presented Evanthia Flowers and Evanthia Tropical together in a revamped booth. It was an inspiring environment where visitors could get acquainted with our wide range: from seeds and young plants to flowering finished products and distinctive tropicals.

The combination of Flowers and Tropical showcased what Evanthia stands for: quality, innovation, and a strong foundation for successful cultivation worldwide.

Inspiration from the Gardens of Appeltern

The Gardens of Appeltern demonstrate what a sustainable garden can look like. Here, ambiance, biodiversity, and smart water usage go hand in hand. Visitors discover how resilient plants keep a garden attractive, even during hot summers.

Drought-tolerant plants often possess characteristics that make them more resistant to heat and limited watering. These include deep roots, sturdy leaves, or an efficient way of storing water.

This offers several benefits:

·        reduced water consumption

·        less maintenance

·        a healthy soil structure

·        increased biodiversity

·        a garden that is more resilient to climate change
