Which plant species are in fashion? CASACOR 2018 answers!

The theme A Casa Viva brought nature to all spaces at CASACOR 2018 , mainly through vegetation. Species of tropical flora, typically Brazilian, are prominently featured inside and outside the home. The variety of volumes and textures make up the projects, creating landscapes that look natural, as if they had always been there.

Leafy Trees

The professionals took advantage of the existing vegetation to incorporate it into their projects. The trees with lush canopies even appear indoors, such as the Flamboyants at CASACOR São Paulo 2018 .

Aquatic Plants

Aquatic plants also appeared in water mirrors and small lakes in landscaping areas.

Olive trees

After the highlight of Alex Hanazaki's Jardim Deca at CASACOR São Paulo 2017 , olive trees are consolidating their presence in the 2018 exhibitions.

Gardens

Vegetable gardens and vertical gardens feature herbs and spices with culinary or purely decorative functions. Rosemary is found in abundance, especially at CASACOR São Paulo .

Grass and Bamboo

The simplicity and easy maintenance of grass and bamboo mean that their species appear frequently in the most diverse gardens.

Palm Trees and Elephant Foot

Smaller palm trees and Elephant's Foot trees have appeared in many gardens and even in indoor areas. The sculptural trunks stand out, giving the spaces a plastic look.

Edibles

In addition to vegetable gardens, fruit trees and other edible plants were used as delicious decorations.

Fern

Ferns prefer humid environments without direct sunlight, so they prefer indoor environments and do well both hanging and in supported pots. We find examples at all exhibitions throughout the year, mainly in kitchens and on shelves.

Orchids

Orchids are classic decorative species and very popular. With exuberant flowers of various colors, they add elegance to the environment. CASACOR Brasília has a garden dedicated entirely to the plant.
