What if starting seeds or cuttings did not mean messy soil on your counter? This hydroponic plant pot gives your plant a clean, simple home. It has a grid base built to hold growing medium like perlite, vermiculite, pumice, or clay beads, so roots have something to grip while water still moves through.
The open grid shape at the bottom lets water reach the medium and the roots underneath. You place your cutting or seedling inside, add your medium of choice, and set the pot wherever it gets good light. It works well for windowsill gardens, small hydroponic setups, or anyone growing plants indoors without soil.
This pot is printed in PLA, a plant-based plastic. When the growing season ends, the whole pot can go into your compost bin along with the rest of your plant matter. It is made to order in the USA after you place your order.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
