They are a fun way to introduce a bit of their childhood in their homes without being completely useless. The dolls have been cleverly tweaked so that their iconically [colorful hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-pool-party-collection) has been replaced with green air plants. These effortless plants happen to resemble their spiky tresses to a T. The Treasure Troll Air Plant Pots was designed by Trista of Brooklyn Regal, a New York-based creative that focuses on creating [playful, quirky and eclectic planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-planter). Living in Williamsburg, she writes, "Nearly every weekend, I’d spend my Saturday or Sunday visiting these shops and always found myself at the flea and the plant/gardening shops. This is where my love of found objects and succulents came about." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Toy Planters:** Opportunity to create a line of planters that repurpose popular childhood toys, tapping into nostalgia and sustainability trends. - **Green Air Plants:** Growing popularity of low-maintenance air plants as a unique alternative to traditional potted plants, offering opportunities for innovative plant-related products. - **Playful Home Decor:** Increasing demand for quirky and eclectic home decor items that reflect individuality and personal style, providing a market for creative and unique planters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to introduce a line of playful and nostalgic planters that add character to home interiors. - **Sustainable Products:** Opportunity to create eco-friendly planters that repurpose old toys and incorporate low-maintenance air plants, appealing to sustainability-conscious consumers. - **Gardening and Plants:** Innovative opportunity to introduce new and unique planters that cater to consumers seeking unconventional and low-maintenance plant options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cult Film-Inspired Pet Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-1.md) - [Plush Plant-Shaped Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amuseable-bonsai-tree.md) - [Dinosaur-Inspired Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiasaurus-rex-planter.md) - [Disco-Inspired Hanging Planter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disco-ball-plant-hanger.md) - [Artsy Hanging Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-air-plant-mobile.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Trellis-Equipped Indoor Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blume-planter.md) - [Oversized Colorful Dynamic Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tfm.md) - [Miniature Building Block Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-tiny-plants.md)
