How do I keep my plants alive in water?
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, and refill the water every 2 weeks. We also sell nutrients, and have a full care guide that can be found here.
How long can my plants survive in water?
Plants that can survive in water do so by utilizing the oxygen that's absorbed in water to support photosynthesis. Not all plants are able to do this - many require soil to provide oxygen for growth. Plant selection is key, which is why we only sell plants that thrive in water. Plants purchased from Modern Botanical should stay healthy for years.
How are the frames mounted to the wall?
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 the plant(s) to hang. Follow the simple instructions, and voila!
Can I put my own plants in your water planters?
Yes! Not all plants, however, will propagate and continue to live in water. Two big plant families that tend to perform great in water alone are aroids and succulents. Keep an eye on our Plant Resources section as we share our research in the space for a full list of plants that grow well in water and instructions on doing so!
Where is your wood sourced from? Is it sustainable?
Is there an easy way to hang these from the ceiling?
Yes! We'll be launching our own hangers soon, but in the short term simply use an an anchored eye-hook in the ceiling and a length of string wrapped through the interior of the planter. The small pegs on the top section of the frame work to keep the string from moving around once hung. Enjoy!
Our mounting system is intended for dry wall and plaster. If you have a brick, cement or other harder wall material, we'd be happy to build out a custom frame for you with modified mounting. Please reach out to hello@modernbotanical.shop with your order number after placing it and allow for a few extras days of delivery time.
If you need replacement or extra nails, reach out to hello@modernbotanical.shop and we'd be happy to ship out a few extras!
Do you have a printer? If so, we'd be happy to send over our PDF template for you to print directly at home! No printer? No problem, we're happy to send a few your way in the mail. Either way, reach out to hello@modernbotanical.shop so we can get help!
Modern Botanical water planters have a stable flat surface on the bottom, allowing them to be displayed on an office desk, coffee table, shelf, or other flat surface.
