Tropic of cool.
So you don’t live in the tropics—let the tropics come to you! This kit lets you grow a little palm in your own home. It’s easy peasy, because they’re self-watering. Inside each mason jar is a “wicking” hydroponic system that brings water up to the plant’s roots, cushioned amongst a recycled glass grow medium.
Curious about just how easy self-watering kits are? Read all about it.
