Made from felt, these triangular-shaped pockets may not look like a typical plant holder, but are quite effective at their jobs. First off, the material used, PET felt is created from 100 percent recycled materials. When shipped, the planter is flat-packed for maximized efficiency. The Vas is also very easy to assemble and fits like a puzzle. Watering is also made easy, and ensures that [no spilling will occur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere). The felt handles moisture very well and an additional recycled painter's tarp insert is used to absorb water. Vas planters are sustainable, eco-friendly, and its strong, durable construction makes for the perfect indoor planting alternative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Flat-packed Planters:** Flat-packing planters offer a new way for gardening indoors and in small spaces. - **Modular Planter Systems:** Modular planter systems provide a unique and efficient method for growing plants indoors. - **Sustainable Planters:** Sustainable planters made from recycled materials offer an eco-friendly alternative for indoor gardening. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore flat-packed planters as a space-saving and eco-friendly option for indoor gardening. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The eco-friendly products industry can capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable planters made from recycled materials. - **Vertical Gardening:** The vertical gardening industry can benefit from modular planter systems that enable easy indoor gardening in small spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Watering Compact Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patella-crescenda.md) - [Modular Automated Indoor Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totam-planter.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-watering-plant-house.md) - [Smart Indoor Hydroponics Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-modular-indoor-hydroponics-garden-grow-vegetables-and-herbs-automatic.md) - [Gardening Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verda-garden.md) - [Trellis-Equipped Indoor Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blume-planter.md) - [Building Block Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-planterior.md) - [Futuristic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-klaustrafloria.md) - [Self-Watering Desk Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha.md)
