If purchasing a display-ready artificial plant does not fuel one's creative fire, the SR Flat Plants have the potential to kick-start one's imagination with paint-by-number wooden plants.
The 2D wooden plant kit includes plant-shaped plywood cutouts, as well as the necessary paints, brush and instructions for filling in the leaves and stems with color in the appropriate places. Once it has been assembled, a flat plant makes for the "ultimate no-maintenance houseplant," as Los Angeles-based design practice Scout Regalia describes.
The alternative houseplant kit makes it possible to create a variety of different plant-inspired home decor pieces in the shape of everything from small cacti to large rubber plants that will always stay bright, healthy-looking and green.
