Today, December 12th, the world celebrates World Poinsettia Day, a tribute to the vibrant plant that has become the quintessential symbol of the Christmas season. With its striking red and green foliage, the poinsettia (or Euphorbia pulcherrima) is much more than just a festive decoration; it holds a rich history that stretches from Aztec rituals to modern holiday marketing.

As the festive season approaches, many of us think of trees, tinsel, lights and seasonal décor. 2025 is seeing a growing shift: more people are turning to houseplants — not just for a few weeks, but as living, lasting additions to their winter décor. Whether you want traditional festive charm, a modern twist, or a subtle, natural ambience, these plants are stylish statement pieces that are leading the trends this Christmas season.

As the festive season arrives, workplaces and public areas across the UK are once again being transformed into dazzling winter wonderlands — thanks to the creativity and expertise of plants@work members.

As the festive season approaches, the landscape of Christmas décor is evolving — and for 2025, the focus in commercial and workplace interiors is sharper than ever. From bold thematic statements to refined materials and meaningful sustainability, the trends set to dominate this year reflect changing priorities across design, branding and wellness.

This year, phs Greenleaf celebrates not only the launch of its much-anticipated 2025 Christmas range, but also the continuation of a partnership that means far more than festive décor. Marking International Men’s Day today, the timing underscores why this mission matters. In an interview for the plants@work website, Stephen Dieppe, Managing Director of phs Greenleaf, shared why the company is deeply committed to supporting Prostate Cancer UK for a second consecutive year—and why raising awareness is more important than ever.
