This vase not only adds a unique splash of design and greenery to your home, but it has beautiful symbolism. It begins as a brown vase, then as you nurture it, it [blooms into a plant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloome). After the leaves wilt, it returns back to its vase state.

Watch the video to see a time lapse of the living vase.
