Designed by a group of artists from Cornwall, England, in partnership with the [Eden Project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eden-rise-vertical) -- the new Self-Watering Planter ensures a long lifespan for all inhabitants.

The unique style can offer a modern look to any house, making indoor gardening as easy as possible. Made from [fully recycled glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-pak-and-keter), the planter gives complete visibility to the interior -- offering consumers the ability to see when the [large water reservoir base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere) requires refilling. The easy-use planter requires two simple steps -- fill the top with soil and the bottom with water. The thick cotton wick transfers the perfect amount of water into the soil above.

The Self-Watering Planter is completely handmade and available online now ensuring house plants stay alive and vibrant as long as possible.
