Top 5 Ultimate Planter Designs For A Flourishing Indoor Garden Through The Seasons

Indoor gardening can be a soothing and relaxing hobby. It is an extremely therapeutic activity, and though I may not engage in it all the time, the few times that I have, I found it delightful and soothing. Growing, tending to, and being surrounded by plants is intensely satisfying. All your worries slowly fade away, and you are simply enthralled by nature. Indoor gardening has become one of the major trends these days! Plants can truly transform a living space with their gentle presence. They add a touch of green and nature and create a serene and zen atmosphere. But tending to them is not always the easiest task. You must pay special attention to your beloved plants and give them the best care to ensure they grow well. And, we’ve curated a whole collection of product designs to help you with that – happy gardening!

1. Briiv Pro

Named the Briiv Pro, this eco-friendly purifier utilizes a mix of nature and technology to clean and purify the air within your home. The Briiv Pro is a new and improved version of the original Briiv, and it is more powerful than ever. Designed to be a ‘mini forest’, the air purifier can cleanse a 16 sq.m. room in 21 minutes. It is 6900% more effective than house plants!

Why is it noteworthy?

Since the Briiv Pro is 6900% more effective and efficient than house plants, it is a truly commendable feat considering its size. The purifier is not only functional but also pretty good-looking, unlike the bulky and ugly appliances that you get on the market these days.

What we like

  • Features an AI-based sensor
  • Equipped with a layered trifecta of moss, coconut fiber, and a silk nanofiber matrix with activated carbon

What we dislike

  • The Briiv Pro isn’t as fast as other air purifiers on the market, and it is quite expensive as well

2. Patella Crescenda

Named the Patella Crescenda, this planter fits perfectly in both your palms and lets you grow greens with complete ease and efficiency. The planter has a unique shape, which lets it water itself, ensuring you don’t need to. You can grow seeds without any soil, and the sprouts grow in about a week. The planter is reusable as well, ensuring you always have a fresh supply of microgreens.

Why is it noteworthy?

The planter includes four parts – a base tray, two reusable steel seed plates, and a water bulb that fits on top. All the parts come together, helping your greens sprout within a week. They grow in the water, without any soil, so you don’t even need to clean them.

What we like

  • Intuitive design
  • Fun to use product

What we dislike

  • It works only for micro-greens and cannot be converted into long-lasting plants

3. Green Hideaway Chair

Dubbed the Green Hideaway Chair, this DIY living plant chair lets you connect with nature. It is created by Stockholm-based studio Front/ in collaboration with the European DIY chain HORNBACH, and its creative agency HeimatTBWA. With the Hideaway Chair, you can add a touch of green to your home.

Why is it noteworthy?

The Green Hideaway Chair doesn’t need any professional expertise to set it up. DIYers of all skill levels can easily set up this simple chair. The chair is accompanied by illustrated, step-by-step instructions,  a template, as well as an entire list of tools and materials that you may need. The entire process is laid out for you.

What we like

  • Makes nature accessible to you in your own home

What we dislike

  • It will occupy some space,  so you need to make sure you have sufficient space to add it to your home

4. Noku Canvas

Called the Noku Canvas, this self-watering and modular greenwall is designed for your home. It converts your houseplants into wall-mounted hydroponic marvels, letting you add a touch of green to any room in your home, whether it is your home office, living room, or even the kitchen!

Why is it noteworthy?

The Noku Canvas is self-watering, as it is amped with wicking hydroponics that water your plants for you. It is equipped with a useful little water gauge which reminds you when to refill the water.

What we like

  • Modular design, so you can customize it however you want
  • Built from recycled plastic and natural cork

What we dislike

  • It only includes a wall-mounted version, there is a limited choice

5. Totam Planter

Say hello to the totam planter – a modular self-watering indoor garden that is created to enhance your space. You can personalize the planter according to your taste and needs. It is a one-of-a-kind vertical indoor garden that showcases and displays your beloved plants with pride. You can grow microgreens, succulents, food, flowers, whatever you like!

Why is it noteworthy?

It is a modular design, so you can build your own customized totam planter using a combination of different modules. You can use a whole bunch of different modules to create your own perfect tower. By adding vertical modules to the tower, you can create extra space for tall or trailing plants to grow freely.

What we like

  • Packs a whole bunch of greens into a small countertop footprint
  • You can schedule lighting at the touch of a button

What we dislike

  • They currently don’t offer any Matter/HomeKit support for their lighting

The Morning After: A Tamagotchi made with real egg

It’s Labor Day, so tech news typically slows down. We’ve still got some intriguing headlines to share, though, like, er, a new Tamagotchi. Bandai’s newest digital pet is made with recycled eggshells. The Original Tamagotchi Celebration digital pet is even colored like a tan/brown egg, with green and white designs with pink accents and buttons.

In ways, it’s a bit of a throwback compared to the recently released Tamagotchis. In May, the company re-released Tamagotchi Connection, the model with a faux antenna, to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Last year’s Tamagotchi Uni had WiFi connectivity and gave users access to the Tamaverse.

This one is a little more basic, and it’s available at Amazon, currently on pre-order for $30.

Modular mini projector can also be a speaker and wireless charger

It’s probably not something that we really think about but electronic waste is a growing problem since we see a lot of new gadgets released every month. There will probably be even more products conceptualized and created over the next few decades so what we have to think about is how to lessen or at least repurpose e-waste. One idea is to think about modular product designs so that one gadget can have multiple purposes.

Designers: Tae Hyeong Kim and Yu Jeong Choi

One conceptual product is bini, a modular beam projector that can also be used as a mini speaker. It can be used as a single unit with the projector on top of the speaker but it can also be separated into two devices if you need to use either of them individually. There’s even a third purpose for it as you can use the top of the device as a magsafe wireless charger.

Overall, bini looks like any ordinary smart speaker. When used as just one device, the top part of the projector becomes like a mini robot as you can adjust the head with its hinge. There’s also a focus wheel so you can adjust the focus when projecting on a wall or any surface. The buttons intuitively look like actual buttons so it can be easy to touch and use them. The device also has several ports like USB-C, HDMI, and even a headphone jack.

bini is a mini device so you can just hold it in one hand and is also pretty easy to combine and separate the modular parts. It would be interesting if they can make an actual, working prototype as its value depends of course on the quality of the projector and speaker features.
