Replanting is a method of transferring a plant from a planter to
Tevaplanter. The process requires carefully removing the plant
and gently removing soil from the root system, and finally mounting
and securing the plant roots onto your Tevaplanter.
The transition and adjustment is arguably the hardest period in
your plant’s life, as it may be in shock from the sudden move. To
greatly improve its chances of recovery and success, choose a
suitable plant - one in a small planter that appears to be in good
health - and water it one day before replanting.

Ficus bonsai
Ficus bonsai
Ficus microcarpa
Growing Method
In nature you can find these Ficus bonsai trees growing everywhere, on rocks and even on other trees. For this reason we decided to test it on the tevaplanter. We recommend growing this Ficus for anyone, even beginners. When mounting the Ficus to the tevaplanter, we recommend cutting most of the small roots so that new ones can grow directly onto the vessels surface. Once the Ficus roots itself on the tevaplanter surface, its roots will start to wrap around the vessel and creates a unique look over time. It is important to note that this plant requires a lot of light and even direct sunlight for a period of time.

Kangaroo Fern
Kangaroo Fern
Microsorum diversifolium
Growing Method
This fern is one of our favorite plants, originally grown in Australia this creeping plant grows both in soil and on tree trunks. The Kangaroo fern loves its roots consistently moist, which is why we recommend planting it at the bottom of the tevaplanter and never let the vessel dry. Over time the plant roots will take hold and the plant will start growing upwards covering the tevaplanter completely. The first period after planting is stressfull for the plant and will take longer than a month or two for the plant to get used to its new home and start growing.

Venus Flytrap
Venus Flytrap
Dionaea muscipula
Growing Method
Venus flytrap grows in swamp areas without salts or minerals. In order to supplement the missing minerals the plant evolved to eat bugs with its leaves. The moment a bug sets off the trap in the mouth of the plant, it closes and traps it. Next it will start the digestion process which will help the plant receive the necessary minerals. The recommended method to start growing on the tevaplanter is replanting and it's best to keep a bit of the original soil on the roots and cover with moss (dry or alive) its important to note that this plant does not need fertilizer at all, fertilizer may damage the roots. During winters, this plant needs to go into dormancy and during these periods you must stop watering completely. An experienced grower is recommended.

Alsobia dianthiflora
Growing Method
The Lace flower vine is a creeping plant originally from Central and South America. It is possible to start growing an Alsobia on the tevaplanter with three different methods; replanting, mother plant or cuttings. Cuttings would be the most difficult method to start with. If you choose to use the cutting method, we recommend cutting a long piece which has roots showing. This plant does not need much water and it would be good to let the water level drop, which gives the roots time to dry. This plant has nice white flowers which blooms often in the good lighting condition

Ficus pumila
Growing Method
Ficus pumila is a climbing plant which grows roots along the stem. Pumila means dwarf and the name is in reference to the size of the leaves, in fact this plant could cover an entire wall over time and will need pruning on the tevaplanter after a period. The plant originates from East Asia and prefers to grow in a humid environment. From our experience, we recommend to let the water level in the vessel drop to allow roots to dry out. After the plant has taken root, it is even possible to leave the vessel partially full. Grow in a bright and airy place. A really nice and beautiful plant.

Growing Method
The Platycerium superbum comes from the staghorn fern family and is one of the coolest plants! In the wild it grows on tree trunks, they grow into very large plants, much larger than the tevaplanter. We planted a small one as an experiment, it was interesting to see how it grew on the tevaplanter over the years. During the year, the plants have an active period for growth and a stagnant period for rest. During the growing period the plant needs more water and fertilizer, so you should keep in mind to fill the vessel more often.

In the wild Hoya plants grow on the trees, climbing along the stem and taking root in different places. The Hoya family is very diverse, we chose to grow Hoya lacunosa as it has small leaves which suits the shape of the tevaplanter. We recommend to start growing a Hoya plant from cuttings or the mother-plant methods. If you chose to grow through cuttings, make sure to cut a long stem and if there are root tips showing it will be much easier and faster for the plant to grow and take hold of the vessel. Make sure to place the plant in a very lit area with short periods of direct sunlight. It is really easy but requires patience, nature has its own time.

Dendrobium aphyllum
Growing Method
Originating in Australia and unlike most orchids, it is suitable for growing outside of a greenhouse, it loves strong lighting and will be happy to get morning or afternoon sunlight. It is recommended to plant the dendrobium in the upper middle part of the tevaplanter to avoid excessive watering, and although it is an orchid that does not require a greenhouse it is advised to pamper the plant by spraying water to raise the moisture around it. It is recommended to fertilize once every two to three weeks during the growing season. We keep the water level inside the tevaplanter low for most of the time, to let the roots stay moist without being too wet or too dry. It is important to note that epiphytic orchids are slightly more difficult and a slower grow than most other plants, so those with experience or desire to learn about proper care are recommended.

A carnivorous plant that originated in the northern hemisphere. The leaves are sticky and works to catch small insects, which it breaks down for nourishment. The Pinguicula can be found growing on wet rocks as well as lower parts of trees, making it suitable to grow on the tevaplanter vessel. The Pinguicula will bloom profusely throughout most of the year. It is recommended to plant the Pinguicula in the middle-bottom part of the vessel to provide it with the suitable moist conditions necessary and to leave some of the soil around the roots. We leave some soil on the roots to prevent trauma and to increase the plants success. No need to fertilize, insects are all your Pinguicula needs. One thing we found while growing the Pinguicula is that the roots are very thin and gentle and it takes time for the plant to get strong enough to hold itself onto the vessel. To resolve this we recommend to attached the Pinguicula with fish line to make sure the plant is held tight onto the vessel for a long enough period of time.

The Bromeliad as well as the Neoregelias sp are an epiphytic plant which you can find growing on trees. The Bromeliad usually do not grow in soil which means its roots needs to be exposed to air. They are a very good fit for the tevaplanter, the first period after replanting is the most probelamtic time for the plant. It may take a long time until the plant grows new roots (sometimes it can take even a few months). We recommend to mount the Bromeliad with the cutting method as we saw the best progress but replanting is another great and easy option. *Tip* Choose a plant that is showing the beggining of a new growth, it will root much quicker.

Gold Dollar orchid
Paphiopedilum Gold Dollar
Growing Method
The Paphiopedilum (Lady slipper) orchid is a very beautiful family of orchids. In general, orchids are hard to grow but if you are an orchid enthusiast we recommend to try growing a Paphiopedilum. Out of all the Orchids we grew, we had the best results and easiest time growing the Paphiopedilum on the tevaplanter. Its important to choose a healthy plant with a good root system to improve the success of your growth. *Tip* Choose a plant that is showing the beginning of a new plant growth, when orchids grow a new plant they will start growing new roots as well. This is the only time new roots will grow, otherwise it can take months until the plant will develop a healthy root system.

Philodendron narrow
Philodendron narrow
Growing Method
We start to grow our philadendrun from a very small plug. Its much easier to start growing from a small plant on the tevaplanter and also when starting with a small plant, it grows relative to the shape of the vessel. Philodendrons are native to south america and can be found in rainforests, swamps and along riverbanks which is why the tevaplanter is a perfect fit. It's an easy to grow plant for indoors, with time it will grow into a large plant and will be a beautiful and unuiqe decor in any living space.

Philodendron micans
Philodendron micans
Philodendron hederaceum
Growing Method
The Philodendron micans is a very beautiful plant which has velvety heart shaped leaves. This plant enjoys bright indirect light as well as high humidity in its enviorment. You can start growing it on your tevaplanter vessel by three different methods: stem cutting, replanting and mother planting. If you start from stem cuttings, make sure to cut a long enough piece with root tips showing from the hips. The Philodendron micans enjoys a wet surface, so mounting it on the lower/middle section of your vessel would be best for a great and successful growing experience.

Raphidophora tetraspema
Raphidophora tetraspema
Growing Method
On this tevaplanter we mounted 3 different plants together: Monstera adansonii, Raphidophora tetraspema and a Epipremnum aureum Njoy. The Epipremnum aureum Njoy did not fair so well on the tevaplanter during our testing but the Monstera adansonii & Raphidophora tetraspema took very well to its new home. These plants becomes large with time, much larger in proportion to the tevaplanter which may not be to everyone's liking. These plants enjoy a lot of water and a good amount of bright indirect light. You can start your grow by replanting from a young plant or by stem cuttings.

Schefflera
Growing Method
The Shefflera is a very big bush/tree, we actually tested it on the tevaplanter by accident. We found a small piece growing and decided to mount it on the tevaplanter surface and see what comes of it. Its roots have wrapped around the tevaplanter pretty fast and the plant itself looks very nice on the vessel. You can find many different types of Shefflera, start by growing with the replanting method with a very small plant or with the stem cutting method after water propagation. The plant enjoys lots of bright light / direct sunlight so let it shine :)

Begonia mazae
Begonia Schultzi
Growing Method
We grew a few types of Begonias and this Begonia mazae was one of the easiest Begonia for us to grow on the tevaplanter. This type of begonia is more like a miniature plant where it won't grow very big and will grow relatively fast. Its important to give it time in the beginning to recover from the initial replanting shock. It's also important to place the vessel in a well lit area with a bit of direct sunlight.

Birds nest fern
Birds nest fern
Growing Method
The Bird's nest fern is native to Asia, Australia, Africa and can be found in the rainforest's growing high up on trees. Healthy plant leaves can grow up to 5 feet long but when grown indoors they usually grow to about 2 feet long. We recommend to find a small plant plug to start growing the Bird's nest fern on the tevaplanter. The Bird's nest fern enjoys well lit areas with moderate amount of shade. As with most ferns, they like to have consistent water so we recommend to mount the plant on the lower-mid section of the vessel and to keep the water level high. We really loved how well it grew on the tevaplanter and we recommend this plant for anyone interested.

Button fern
Pellaea rotundifolia
Growing Method
This ferns roots likes constant moisture therefor we recommend to plant it at the lower/mid part of the vessel and always make sure that the vessel never completely dries out. The first period after replanting is a delicate period and requires patience to see success. The plant takes time to recover from the transition and to get used to its new home. After a few months it will start to grow roots on the surface and will become bigger & stronger.

Dendrobium kingianum
Dendrobium kingianum
Growing Method
Dendrobium kingianum - Pink rock orchid - An orchid native to the east coast of Australia, where it grows near riverbanks on moist rocks. This Orchid is relatively durable, which in its natural environment is also exposed to direct sunlight, dryness and heat - although it will prefer a humid environment, comfortable temperatures and exposure only to gentle morning or afternoon sun. All of these make it a highly recommended plant for growing on the Tevaplanter, simulating a rocky and moist environment. Another fact that makes the kingpin a lovable orchid for growers is its lush blooms throughout spring. It is recommended to mount the plant in the central-lower part of the vessel, and fertilize once every two to three weeks. Keeping the vessel with minimal water (quarter of the vessel filled) at all times is best for this plant. Orchids do not grow roots all year round, so after mounting this Orchid months can pass before you may see new roots growing. Although it is a highly durable orchid that can survive in a variety of conditions, maintaining optimal conditions will help keep the plant beautiful and healthy, and will encourage flowering.
