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.

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.
