We love plants. And I mean really love plants. But for some of us they’re more trouble than they’re worth: they’re not always cheap, can require a lot of upkeep, and can clutter a space if it’s already a bit cramped.
Whatever the reason – we’re not here to judge – plant prints can come to the rescue, with all the lush green aesthetic and none of the hassle. Or, if you’re already a confident plant parent, they look lovely next to the real thing too.
Here are some of our favourites on Etsy.
Watercolour Plant Prints, Set of 4, Grey Fox Designs UK, £7.99-£39.99 (A6-A3)
These leafy prints come in a set of 4, in vibrant watercolour. Place them together for a feature wall, or scatter them about and use the theme of green to tie different parts of a big space together.
Hoya Plant Print, Printer Johnson, £10
In striking hot and cool colours, this print would work well in a minimalist room, and measures up at A4 size. The attention to detail, like shadows and green leaves flecked with yellow, adds an extra touch.
Books And Plant Print, Normal Land, £5
Books and plants – feast for the mind and a feast for the eyes, on A5. These pastels, grids and loop the loops create a little whimsy, and would look great in a room with baby pinks and lilacs.
Plant Lady, Carla Llano’s Prints, £25/35 (A4/A3)
With a striking pose, a dash of black girl magic, and nature galore, this poster is giving us serious Solange vibes. Definitely one to have slap bang in the middle of the wall or above your bed.
Monstera Print, Pineapple Print Design, £7.99-£28.99 (A5-A2)
Immerse yourself in these monstera leaves, that wiggle their way up the canvas while still letting the light shine through. Wavy.
Chilli Pepper Print, Printer Johnson, £10
Plants bear fruit and veg, but nonetheless peppers are underrepresented in the plant print world. These glorious reds, yellows and tin cans come in A4 and will be right at home in the kitchen.
Green Wall Art Print, MIRAMAR ART, £6
This hyperrealistic piece can be downloaded in different qualities and printed at home in a variety of sizes. Just a sprinkle of leafiness with no fuss at all.
Botanical Wall Art Print, JENJUNG BLUTH, £10.50
More baby pink, because there’s no such thing as too much. These deliberate strokes on A5 make for a familiar homey feel, and show plants in all their glory – hanging, sitting and huddling.
Plant Print, Alice Potter, £17
This A4 drawing is all about patterns, with doodles in every colour of the rainbow.
Plant Print, JENJUNG BLUTH, £16.50
If you haven’t put all your plants in the bath for a mass watering session are you really a plant parent? We love this A4 print for its striking simplicity – surely one for the bathroom.
Swiss Cheese Plant Print, Nic Stitches, £8-25 (A5-A3)
Sometimes one leaf is enough – and Nic Stitches demonstrates this in this beautiful print of a Swiss Cheese plant. With baby pinks, blues and pale greys, this print’s a frontrunner for the bedroom, emanating calm.
