terraplanter – visibly follow the journey from seed to plant
What is it?
The terraplanter is a specially designed planter that you can use to grow plants without worrying about under and overwatering.
Why do I like it?
Because it takes all the guesswork out of when and how much to water your plants because it does it for you without batteries, apps, waterlines, and even soil! Just spread the seeds on the outside of the terraplanter, fill it with water and abracadabra, you’ll have perfect plants.
