# Display Case-Like Planters These Minimal Plant Containers Display Hydro Plants Beautifully By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-10-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-containers References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/hydro-container/) & [1012.co](http://1012.co/hydro-100-80-bk) These plant containers are a beautiful way to display hydro plants. Since most roots are meant to be buried in soil, they’re hardly ever seen. This is also true for hydro plants, unless you use a [clear container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerospring-pinch-hydroponic-system) like this one. This [minimalistic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-pot) [hydro plant container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponics-garden) was created by ‘10¹² TERRA’ and it has a clever design that showcases plants beautifully. The container consists of two pieces: a top with a grid to keep the upper third of the plant upright and out of the water, as well as a bottom piece that holds water and the plant’s roots. This system makes it easy to remove plants as need be and provide fresh water. The plant container reads like a glass display case that is artfully presenting organic sculpture inside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Clear Plant Containers:** The use of clear containers for hydro plants creates a visually appealing display. - **Minimalistic Design:** The sleek and simple design of these plant containers enhances the overall aesthetic. - **Removable Plant System:** The two-piece container system allows for easy removal and maintenance of plants. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Innovative plant containers like these can be incorporated into interior design plans, adding a unique touch to spaces. - **Home Decor:** These display case-like planters offer an opportunity for home decor companies to offer visually appealing plant display options. - **Greenhouse/nursery:** The use of clear plant containers in greenhouses or nurseries can provide a more visually engaging experience for customers looking to purchase hydro plants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Watering Compact Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patella-crescenda.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-watering-plant-house.md) - [Stylish Indoor Hydroponic Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folia-origin.md) - [Two-in-One Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfwatering-planter-propagation-station.md) - [Aeroponic Desktop Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/izestee.md) - [Water Catch-Integrated Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere.md) - [Futuristic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-klaustrafloria.md) - [Self-Watering Desk Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha.md) - [Mini Mess-Free Garden Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponics-garden.md)
