Plant Flocking
Flocking Plants - From Sansevieria to ornamental plants
Flocking plants is a creative way to give a plant some extra appeal. When flocking plants, they are given a thin, velvety snow or color layer. The flock coating is applied electrostatically, giving the plant a soft 'look and feel'. Especially in December and for thematic interiors, flocking plants is a popular technique to add atmosphere and style.
What is plant flocking?
In plant flocking, fine flock fibers are applied to the plant. These fibers adhere to an adhesive layer, creating an even, powdery layer that resembles snow or a velvet-like layer. The technique is used for both real and artificial plants and offers endless creative possibilities.
Popular plants that are flocked
1. Sansevieria (Snake Plant)
The Sansevieria is one of the most flocked plants due to its sturdy, upright leaves. The flock layer adheres well and gives the plant a striking decorative effect.

2. Christmas trees and conifers
Artificial Christmas trees and small conifers are often flocked for a realistic wintery snow layer. Perfect for festive decorations.
3. Succulents and fat plants
Succulents get a playful, matte color layer on their leaves with flocking. They are particularly popular in pastel colors as interior accents.
4. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus with a subtle flock layer immediately looks more stylish and softer, ideal for winter bouquets or luxurious arrangements.
