Plant Flocks

Plant flocking is a creative way to add a touch of flair to a plant. When flocking plants, they are coated with a thin, velvety layer of snow or color. The flock coating is applied electrostatically, giving the plant a soft look and feel. Especially during the month of December and in themed interiors, flocking is a popular technique for adding atmosphere and style.

What is plant flocking?

Plant flocking involves applying fine flock fibers to the plant. These fibers adhere to an adhesive layer, creating an even, powdery coating that resembles snow or a velvety layer. This technique is used for both real and artificial plants and offers endless creative possibilities.

2. Christmas trees and conifers
Artificial Christmas trees and small conifers are often flocked for a realistic wintery snowy finish. Perfect for festive decorations.

3. Succulents and succulents
Succulents get a playful, matte layer of color on their leaves with flocking. They're especially popular in pastel colors as an interior accent.
