This Is How It Works

Tevaplanter uses a unique porous ceramic technology that holds water inside and gradually releases it through its outer surface. This provides steady moisture directly to the roots, allowing plants to grow without soil. The design mimics natural conditions where plants grow on rocks and trees, creating a clean, low-maintenance way to bring nature indoors.

“I really like my tevaplanter because I like to create:) But sometimes difficult to keep all plants happy on top and bottom, if you are like me and getting a more difficult plant to experiment, etc on it. But I like to experiment and that is a good option always! Photo's are from my instagram;) ”

“We are impressed with the finally delivery after 3 hard years. It demonstrated tevaplanter unwavering commitment to deliver their promise when we join the initial backer pre-order. Quality is fantastic for a start up company. And it is made in Italy, the designer country of the world.”

One of my favorite additions has been tevaplanter products. I currently have a Cattleya orchid thriving on this mount without any banding because it likes it so much!

Over two years ago I helped crowdfund this funky concept called Tevaplanter. The product is an empty clay vessel which holds water, allowing it to slowly diffuse through the porous material into the root systems mounted on it.

“My tevaplanter has been so fun to experiment with! I hadn’t grown chia seeds since I was a kid, and watching them germinate and grow as quickly as they did on this terracota slow watering planter was seriously so cool”.

"Found this planter pop up on my For You page and decided to give it a try. It looks really beautiful in the house. I got it in slate and started growing grass. It’s super easy for beginners like me. I highly recommend using the booklet—it’s very practical."

"I am so excited to have my hands on these! I've planted a Hoya Curtisii and moss on one, some shingle vine on the second and vanilla planifola varigata on the third. I'm impatient so it's going to be really difficult to wait for roots to start growing out and the plants start spreading but I totally look forward to it!"

“I sought advice from a vertical gardening expert at our nearby garden supplies and they recommended the Bromeliads and 'Old Mans Beard', in a humid shaded location. Wow, after just one week, the plants are totally thriving and the visual appeal is great.”

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What makes tevaplanter unique?

The tevaplanter is unique because it uses a specially engineered porous ceramic that slowly releases water, letting plants grow on the outside without soil.

Just fill the inner chamber and place seeds or plants on the surface. Roots naturally cling and drink from the moisture within. It’s durable, non-toxic, and designed to create the ideal low-maintenance home for plant growth.
What's In The Box?

- Tevaplanter vessel (porous ceramic planter)
- Ceramic lid
- Ceramic Base
- Rubber Bands (for plant mounting)
- Getting-started guide
How do plants get their nutrients or fertilizer?

Plants on the tevaplanter get their nutrients through liquid fertilizer sprayed directly onto the roots on the outside surface. The water inside provides moisture, and the fertilizer you spray gives them the nutrients they need to grow.


Do NOT add fertilizer into the tevaplanter water chamber.
What kinds of plants can I grow?

You can grow a wide variety of plants on the tevaplanter, especially ones that enjoy steady moisture on their roots. Popular choices include:

  • Mosses & microgreens (chia, watercress, flax, mustard, buckwheat)
  • Orchids (like Paphiopedilum, which grow very well)
  • Ferns
  • Vining plants
  • Small tropical plants
  • Aroids (certain species adapt nicely)
How long can a plant live for on the tevaplanter

A plant can live on the tevaplanter for years as long as it’s a species suited to this style of growing and you keep up with basic care (refilling water and spraying nutrients).

Some plants like mosses, ferns, vining species, and Paphiopedilum orchids can thrive long-term and stay healthy for multiple years on a single tevaplanter.

There’s no fixed lifespan, the plant will keep growing as long as it’s the right type and its needs are met.
