The tevaplanter is suitable for thousands of different types of plants. Many of the houseplants that come in a pot will grow well on a terrplanter. The plants that grow naturally in the jungle, rainforest, or near a water source are best suited for the tevaplanter. Some examples include types of: orchids, ferns, begonias, hoyas, moss, carnivorous plants, dischidia and more. Each example given is a family which consists of thousands of types of species. Each tevaplanter will come with a guide that will include more information about matching plant types and care instructions.

You can get several types of seeds like buckwheat, sinapis, flax, watercress, chia etc. at your local health food store. Plants grown on the tevaplanter are not intended for consumption. Plants, grass seeds, and other types of seeds can be found at your local plant nursery. Although both seeds and plants can also be purchased online. We also plan to provide a list of our recommendations soon.

Most herbs are plants that grow large and need deep roots in the ground. Therefore, although some herbs can grow on the tevaplanter they are not the ideal solution for them. Edible seeds of plants which are commonly used for sprouting (ie, chia, buckwheat, sinapis, flax, watercress) can sprout and grow on the tevaplanter for several weeks. Plants grown on the tevaplanter are not intended for consumption. 

The appropriate nutrients or fertilizer can be dissolved in water and sprayed directly onto the plant roots which are visible on the exterior surface of the tevaplanter. Each tevaplanter will come with a guide that will include more information and care instructions.

In most cases, yes. However, if there is an issue with the quality of the water in your area or if the water contains a lot of limestone (calcium) then we suggest filtering the water before using it with the tevaplanter. Besides filtering the water, there are other simple solutions that we have tested to get suitable water, including; collecting rainwater or A/C water or simply using distilled water.

The tevaplanter acts as a water bank for the plant - slowly releasing water from the interior cavity through the walls to the plant roots on the exterior surface. The rate of perspiration and evaporation is dependent on the temperature and humidity levels in the room. Our estimated range is around 5-15 days. To see when you need to add water, simply lift the lid and peek into the tevaplanter. Each tevaplanter will come with a guide that will include more information and care instructions.

This really depends on the type of plant. We recommend growing on your tevaplanter indoors and in a well-lit area. Despite our recommendation for indoor growing, we have also successfully grown on the tevplanter outdoors. When growing outdoors you should take care to try and avoid strong winds and direct sunlight for long durations.

This depends on the type of plant. Sprouting seeds (ie, chia, buckwheat, sinapis, flax, watercress) can sprout and grow on the terrplanter for several weeks. Grass, for example, will sprout and last for months. On the other hand, some other plants like ferns, begonia, hoyas, etc… can grow for years! Each tevaplanter will come with a guide that will include more information and care instructions.

The material is ceramic. Ceramic is made from a composition of different types of clays and minerals. We studied the material deeply, scanning our material in labs in order to develop the material with optimal balance of porosity and hygroscopic tendencies to fit the widest range of plant types.

Ceramic material is a 100% natural and inorganic material which doesn’t decompose. It can last for many years. By the way, our early prototypes from 3+ years back are still as good as new.

The tevaplanter does not come with seeds or plants mainly because there are too many types of growing options of plants and seeds to choose from. It seems endless and we would like to leave the choice to you. However, the tevaplanter will come with a guide that will include more information, our recommendations, and care instructions.

We are happy to offer shipping worldwide.

The tevaplanter comes in one size and one color. In order to ensure the highest quality we would like to keep our focus for this first version of the tevaplanter.
