# Published Planters Gartenkulter Creates Beautiful Book Pots for Plants By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-pots References: [gartenkultur.it](http://www.gartenkultur.it/) I am at once in love with these book pots and disgusted with the obvious destruction of something I hold dearer than, well, many things in my life. Yet as technology starts to take over the physical literary world as we know it, I guess I should be thankful that novels can be treasured beyond the words between their covers. Created by Gartenkulter, these book pots cradle actual [living life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bough-pot) rather than fictional ones, which is fitting, I believe. Although, I still hold hope that books as reading material will not be permanently discarded anytime soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Book-cover Art:** The trend of using book covers as plant pots presents opportunities for publishers and artists to collaborate in creating striking plant decor. - **Upcycling:** The trend of upcycling used books as plant pots presents opportunities for sustainability-minded companies to create unique eco-friendly products. - **Indoor Gardening:** The trend of book pots for plants highlights the rising popularity of indoor gardening, presenting opportunities for companies to create customized plant decor for this growing market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Publishing:** Publishers can take advantage of the book pot trend to collaborate with artists and gardeners in creating unique and visually appealing eco-friendly products. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can tap into the book pot trend by providing customized plant decor for indoor gardening enthusiasts seeking unique and eco-friendly alternatives. - **Sustainability:** Companies specializing in sustainable products can leverage the upcycling trend of using book pots for plants in creating eco-friendly offerings for a growing market of environmentally conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Detailed Ceramic Book Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biblio-bloom.md) - [Virtual Pet Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pot-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Compact Canned Houseplants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-mini-can-foliage.md) - [Furniture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-garden-system.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-watering-plant-house.md) - [Illusory Planter Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooted-planter.md) - [Self-Watering Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivo-pot.md) - [Ocean Plastic Pot Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elho.md)
