Installation so easy your Grandma could do it!
Our planters hang in 1 minute or less, and come with everything you need for installation. We're confident that Modern Botanical plants and frames are the easiest, no-hassle way to introduce plants into your space.
Add water. Add nutrients. Find good lighting. And watch roots develop, leaves grow, and flowers bloom.
What's the secret? Growing in water is a favorite trick of many green thumbs. It's all about selecting the right plants that grow roots which utilize the oxygen in water, similar to how they would when grown in soil or other similar mediums.
For those plants, water delivers oxygen, moisture, and nutrients to efficiently grow houseplants with minimal upkeep.
Since day one, we wanted to build Modern Botanical around socially conscious and environmentally friendly business practices. Our hand-made line of grow-in-water products reflect these beliefs.
Each grow frame is handcrafted in our San Diego woodshop. Materials include responsibly sourced domestic hard woods, all-natural finishing products to avoid the petrol-based standards of our industry, and real cork which is harvested without the the cutting-down of trees. We look forward to evolving our business practices for the better as we grow.

Is growing plants in water seriously that easy?
Yes! We love planting in water because of how clean and easy it is. To keep your plants alive, simply ensure that they’re kept in an area without much temperature variation, refill the water every 2 weeks, and a monthly couple drops of nutrients. A full care guide can be found here.
How do I find cuttings for your products?
Sourcing plants is one of the most exciting parts of owning our Grow Frames and Hangers. The first places we generally look for cuttings are existing houseplants, swapping with friends and family, and buying plants to use for cuttings from local nurseries. Additionally, we'll be selling cuttings as an optional add-on from late March - October if you'd like our curated selection.

Each frame comes with a mounting guide to ensure easy hanging on any wall. Tape the guide to the wall where you'd like your frame and plant(s) to hang. Follow the simple instructions, and voila!

How long will my plants survive in water?
Plants purchased from Modern Botanical should stay healthy for at least a year. Beyond that, it varies by variety, but some plants, like the monstera deliciosa, have been known to survive for over a decade in water. Plant selection is key, which is why we only sell plants that thrive in water.
