Some of us aren’t naturally inclined toward taking care of plants – but shouldn’t everyone have a bit of greenery at home if they want? Research consistently shows that surrounding ourselves with nature enhances both cognitive function and emotional well-being. Especially in urban areas where access to parks is limited, caring for plants can offer measurable benefits for mind and body longterm. Tendril provides an approachable solution with their planter system for those without a natural green thumb, helping them learn to tend to indoor plants so they can thrive.
The power of plants is undeniable, and The Tendril Planter allows us to extend that healing influence into the home. If keeping plants alive has ever been a struggle, have no fear, as Tendril’s SWAP+ System is designed to remove the guesswork out of plant care thanks to self-watering, precision hydration, air-pruning, advanced potting packs, and repotting tools and mat included.
The Tendril Planter, crafted from hand-finished ceramic and additional sustainably sourced materials, begins with a sturdy, non-slip base chamber that prevents rings and marks on floors. A built-in water indicator uses gravity to signal when it’s time to refill, while a vertically separated soil system featuring a Capillary Action Filter maintains ideal moisture levels. The Air Pruning Soil Bag encourages healthy root growth and prevents plants from becoming rootbound. Their expandable Soil Packs activate with water, delivering essential nutrients and ensuring consistent hydration without overwatering.
This thoughtful system works seamlessly to let roots dry when needed, drink when necessary, and thrive continuously in balanced conditions. Its self-watering mechanism eliminates the need for strict schedules, allowing the plant to draw water naturally from the base. By keeping plant care visible and intuitive, Tendril replaces the “out of sight, out of mind” habit with an easy ritual.
Tendril offers a modern answer to an age-old question: how do we nurture plants while nurturing ourselves? Perhaps the two are more intertwined than we realize. Self-watering, compact, and beautifully designed, this planter adds an immediate sense of warmth and life to any space – alone or grouped together. In a world that often feels overwhelming, Tendril provides an easy, reliable way to care for your leafy companions – and, in turn, for yourself.
Included with The Tendril Planter are compostable tools and the recycled shipping box opens up to form a repotting mat so you can keep mess to a minimum.
