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.
