The Tendril planter, called SWAP+ auto waters plants, air-prunes, and helps them thrive even when you don’t have the time to invest in greenery care.

So, you read the title, and you’re thinking “what the…” I get it. How could a planter be both low-tech and high-tech at the same time? Interestingly, the Tendril SWAP+ manages to do exactly that. It’s a smart planter with some revolutionary design choices that helps you with gardening and greenery care in various ways. But most importantly, it’s not “smart” in the sense that it’s connected or equipped with wireless connectivity. By all accounts, this is very much a “dumb” planter when compared to modern devices. That’s perfectly okay, however. Because it’s still one of the best planters on the market, maybe even the planet.

So, where does the high-tech stuff come into play? The general design of the Tendril planter, or SWAP+, is thoughtful, convenient, and highly functional. It automatically hydrates the leaves of potted plants and strengthens their roots, boosting your success. While it looks phenomenal, the true standout is how it mimics the natural world. The brand calls it “biomimicry,” as it’s able to emulate what happens in the real world when plants thrive.

The SW in the name stands for the advanced and vertically separated self-watering system. Meanwhile, the AP stands for the technical fabric and air-pruning system. Finally, the + stands for the extra components, like the enhanced soil, compostable repotting mat, and more.

What makes the Tendril Planter SWAP+ different from other planters?
