You love your plant babies – but does your state share your sentiments? Find out here in our 2022 Most Popular Houseplants by State trend report.

Cactus

Arizona & New Mexico

If we had to guess the two states that preferred cactus over any other houseplant, we would have guessed Arizona and New Mexico. The Grand Canyon State and the Land of Enchantment turned up predictably and stylishly – and we’re here for it.

Venus Fly Trap

Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oregon & South Dakota

All over the map, the Venus fly trap is the number-one intrigue of five states, three of which sit densely together in northern territory. Perhaps something’s in the air in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota causing the people to nurture the most carnivorous of the houseplants. (Should we be worried?)
