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 tevaplanter. 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.
The structure of the material is solid, yet porous... Water is slowly diffused through it, and is held by the cells giving the plant time to drink and allowing you to water less often.
The tevaplanter has a very visible timeline as you can see the process of plant growth on the surface - from seeds sprouting to roots grasping and growing looking for water, leaves extending towards the light, and flowers blooming.
Plants can be removed from the tevaplanter to be repotted. Ensuring the surface of the tevaplanter is moist will help the roots separate from the surface more easily. Removing plants from the tevaplanter will not damage the tevaplanter.

The core idea was to create a new home for plants. It needed to be simple, clean, low-maintenance and hydroponic - without the use of any soil or dirt. Combining the idea of hydroponics and the concept of porous material was the key. We created a proprietary ceramic material that has just the right amount of porosity and hygroscopic tendencies to allow water to diffuse through the material and allow the plant to grow on the surface of the material.
You’ll die of old age before anything is shipped to you. Whether the product truly exists is anyone’s guess. You’ve been warned.
After 3.5 years of waiting it came today....... gonna start the Chia and go from there!
juste incroyable, apres plusieurs année d'attente j'ai recu mon tevaplanter. L'attente valait le coup!!
C'est bien pensé, le resultat est juste super!!
juste une petite question est-ce que vous allez refaire d'autres graines?
Recieved my two units some weeks ago and I have been trying the first one out now.
Pretty fast clogging with calcium even though our Swedish ester is well filtered.
Currently trying to clean it since no instruction for it is available online yet.
Quality is super good though 🙌🏼
Just received it a week ago after a few years of delay, but worth the wait. Decided to start with two small phaelenopsis. Looking forward to the roots to grow
The terraplanter 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 terraplanter. 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 terraplanter 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, 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 terraplanter 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 terraplanter for several weeks.
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 terraplanter. Each terraplanter 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 terraplanter. 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 terraplanter 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 terraplanter. Each terraplanter 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 terraplanter indoors and in a well-lit area. Despite our recommendation for indoor growing, we have also successfully grown on the terrplanter 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. Edible seeds of plants which are commonly used for sprouting (ie, chia, buckwheat, sinapis, flax, watercress) can sprout and grow on the terrplanter for several weeks - at which point some will make a great addition to your salad :) 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 terraplanter 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 terraplanter 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 terraplanter will come with a guide that will include more information, our recommendations, and care instructions.
We are happy to offer shipping worldwide.
The terraplanter 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 terraplanter.
