All though this concept of self watering plants isn’t too new, the Grobal Plants deserves a place here on Ecofriend. This self watering plant pot is ideal for those who love greenery but not the responsibility of feeding them with water daily. Invented by Treg Bradley and designed with the high-gloss biomorphism of superstar Karim Rashid, Grobal is ideal for cultivating house plants, flowers, herbs, orchids, and succulents. Each Grobal egg-shaped vessel is made from a durable high-gloss plastic, available in a range of colors. The easily accessible “grow chamber” draws water and nutrients from the reservoir below into the soil in the top chamber. However there is no mechanism to indicate that you need to refill the reservoir. You will need to check and refill that at least. Its simple, a small window allows you to monitor the water levels and a small opening in the top allows for easy refilling. More images follow….
Each Grobal kit comes with a DIY greening system: the Grobal self-watering planter, Grobal soil, 3 – Grobal ‘plant food hydropaks’ and simple, illustrated, full-color instructions. The 7″ Grobal sells for $20 and the Baby Grobal at 4.5″ sells for $14.
