These plant covers were made to offer consumers a solution to the mess that pets and children can sometimes make of indoor foliage.
Designed in a lab near Milan, Italy, the product works by covering the pot and going over the top of it to ensure that the soil that supports the plant is out of reach from playful paws and little hands. The simple design makes it incredibly easy to use, as all consumers need to do is place it over the pot, pull the drawstrings tight and then tie it secure.
With a vast variety of choices to choose from, consumers can also use the plant covers to bring a playful pop of color into their homes. Soon to be on Kickstarter, the creators of the 'Planty Cover' hope to garner enough funding to bring the product to mass production so that more can benefit from its useful function.
