For those who like plants and are already used to taking care of them, the vase is the functional part of the care, and the main concern is to have the right size and material. However, and this can be an incentive for those just starting out, there are several options that can make caring for plants more beautiful and, in some cases, even easier. Check it out below:
1. 2 in 1 vase
This is a vase and an aquarium. You pot the plant in it, normally, and a little fish at the bottom. And the best part is that both help to stay healthy. The fish transform their bait scraps into nutrients for the plant, while the water supplied to the plant is filtered as it passes and becomes clean for the fish. It’s a completely natural and adorable system.
2. Air purifier
Place your plant in the O2 pot and water as usual. Excess water evaporates and the system speeds up the photosynthesis process, not to mention keeping tabs on your green friends so you always know when they need water.
3. Clock vase
The Timeless Garden comes with two pieces of grass and a clock to match your decor. Using the chemistry between mud and metal, the watch sustains itself without producing additional toxic juices. The structure is a coupling between two recycled plastic bodies modeled as a vase/clock.
4. Umbrella Holder Vase
The ceramic umbrella pot has a small vase at the bottom to capture rainwater. This umbrella vase allows rainwater from the umbrella to drain into the vase. Low maintenance way to keep a small plant. Rainwater drains into the pot through internal holes.
5. Dish drainer
Budak is a dish drainer that allows you to water a small plant with the water that drains from the dishes. The product can hold dishes and utensils for up to 2 users. With the help of the branches around the pot, the drying rack grabs the dishes.
6. Ashtray vase
If you or your friends are smokers, you know how difficult it can be to incorporate an ashtray into your decor, let alone deal with the smell. The top (vase) and bottom (ashtray) are clever little solutions to this problem, hiding an ashtray under a vase or planter. A perfect way to hide a dirty habit both visually and aromatically.
7. Light fixture
Creative table lamp design that doubles as a potted plant. The multifunctional piece is great for those who don’t have a lot of space for plants.
8. Vessel with alarm
The MonPot is a pot with a timer, like those used for cooking. For small plants that require regular watering, this vase helps by telling you when and when to water again. Simply turn the base to a setting of your choice, such as one day or one week, and a reminder light will come on at the end of the duration.
9. Lung vessel
The vessel expands and contracts simulating breathing. If breathing stops, it means the plant needs water and sun.
10. Tamagotchi vase
The very elegant looking pot measures soil conditions, temperature, humidity and water – it calculates these variables based on the plant’s need and expresses its condition through a series of pictograms on an LCD display.
It’s also smart enough to know if you’ve over-watered it, and it will systematically drain into a water container. All these high-tech perks mean it needs power, but a simple USB interface does double duty, collecting and sending pertinent information to and from computer software.
11. Egg
The EggPot is for those who don’t remember to water the plant at all. The egg moves on its own to make the soil moist and also picks up moisture from the environment.
12. Vessel with reservoir
With its unique irrigation system, designer Karim Rashid’s “Grobal” plant pot keeps your houseplants lush, green and looking crisp. Grobal pulls water and nutrients from the reservoir to Solo Grobal”; in the upper chamber. Just check the water level through the water level indicator and refill when necessary through “Nutriport”.
