Impacted by Covid, I started WFH from early 2020 to 2021. Along with several home improvement projects/ideas, I also stepped into the fascinating world of plants. Surprised by many planters are not designed for plant needs but purely cosmetic. I was inspired to do a quick side project of designing the ideal planter that satisfy houseplant needs also solving many houseplant challenges - root rot, mobility and most importantly, complementing what inside the vessel, and the space around it.
