The Araucaria excelsa is anything but an average houseplant. With its elegant, pyramidal shape and soft green needles, this slow-growing strain is a sustainable statement in any collection. Its sturdy structure and long shelf life make it popular with growers and retailers, while its cuddly character makes it a surprising crowd favorite. And did you know that Araucaria also shines outdoors in summer? Perfect for a distinctive range with natural class. Take a chance as soon as the new seed harvest is available — Evanthia provides seeds and powerful young plants, ready for successful cultivation.
The strength of Araucaria:
- Symmetric, pyramidal structure: very decorative, works well as a 'living Christmas tree'.
- Cuddly, soft, needle-like leaves — surprisingly friendly in appearance and texture.
- Slowly growing & sustainable — therefore attractive for consumers and retailers.
- Long shelf life in the chain — strong plant with little loss.
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (summer) — extra selling point for growers and retailers.
- Wide range of uses (pot sizes 14—27 cm) — ideal for a wide range of segments.
Farmer Bailey and 60 cut flower growers visit Evanthia
A look behind the scenes
Of course, we couldn't let the group go home without giving them a look behind the scenes. Among other things, we visited a Celosia grower, where they saw the Celosia in full production. From cultivation and assortment to new varieties: there was plenty to see, discuss, and discover.
But that wasn't all. During the tour, the group was introduced to various seed cleaning techniques, which sparked plenty of conversation and new ideas.
We find this exchange particularly valuable. By sharing thoughts with growers about their experiences, challenges, and interests, we stay close to what is happening in the market. Conversely, we hope to provide our visitors with fresh inspiration for their own cultivation.
TFA 2026. It's a wrap!
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.
