New plant care essentials and pot collections for 2026


Sustainable plant pot innovator elho has strengthened its portfolio for the 2026 season with a series of new product introductions and extensions across its outdoor and indoor ranges. Available to consumers from January 2026, the updates bring new plant care essentials, sizes, colours and intuitive plant care solutions, giving retailers new opportunities to refresh displays and meet continued demand for sustainable, design-led plant products.


elho launches two new plant care essentials to its vibes collection – the vibes fold watering can and vibes fold plant mister. The watering can is compact and proportioned for indoor use, allowing precise watering with minimal spillage. The plant mister features an internal compression system that delivers a continuous ultra-fine mist for three to five seconds per pump, ideal for delicate or tropical plants. Available in anthracite and linen white, both items reflect the collection’s signature ribbed texture and soft design. These additions extend the vibes collection beyond pots to include functional, style- focused plant care solutions. The sereh collection, inspired by natural textures and soft silhouettes, now consists of two new round sizes (25cm and 60cm) and the brand-new sereh high in 30cm and 40cm. These taller formats provide additional options for indoor and outdoor displays. Available in the new anthracite shade, as well as cool clay and Nordic green, the sereh range is colourfast and frost- resistant. For indoor use, simply plug the overflow pipe. Balcony gardening continues to


grow, and elho responds with XL (50cm) and XXL (70cm) versions of its vibia campana easy hanger. Available in six colours and designed for quick installation and stability on most railings, these larger formats offer generous planting volume and feature an integrated overflow tube for improved water management.
