[WATCH] Remix: Sakata Playlist Combos and New Variety Spotlight

The Playlist combos series from Sakata curates plant combinations that deliver beautiful, balanced performance across a variety of conditions and, most importantly, lasting success for the end consumer.

In this replay of Greenhouse Management's February 2026 free live event, Michael Wiebe, product technical services manager with Sakata, discusses the company's Playlist combos series, including an in-depth product overview, features, benefits and new product spotlights that tie into Playlist.

The deceptively simple request for plant combinations that thrive in varied conditions has long been an industry challenge.

It sounds easy enough, but the reality has proven elusive. The real trick isn’t just finding varieties that look good together — it’s discovering plants that genuinely grow well together.

Thankfully, Sakata has been hard at work behind the scenes, developing grower-friendly combo components that look just as stunning in real life as they do in marketing photos. Because let’s face it: True, consistent performance — for both growers and garden decorators — has been the missing piece of the puzzle.

Now, the search is over. Introducing: Playlist™.

Just like your favorite music playlist perfectly harmonizes songs to set the mood, the Playlist series curates plant combinations that deliver beautiful, balanced performance across a variety of conditions and, most importantly, lasting success for the end consumer.

From greenhouse production to retail shelves to the final garden display, Playlist combinations are designed to hit all the right notes. Reliable, easy to grow and visually stunning — this is the combo collection that’s topping the charts.

Playlist is available in two formats:

• Kits: Order by name and receive equal numbers of unrooted cuttings (URCs) that can be stuck simultaneously, transplanted together and grown using the same PGR specifications. It’s a no-fuss, ready-to-go solution.
• Recipes: Looking for a creative spin? Use our recipe inspirations to build combos from individual components.
