WHAT IS A LIVING COASTER?
|
It puts your drinking habit to good use!Living Coaster protects your furniture from watermarks but instead of letting that water go to waste, it uses it to grow plants. By just enjoying a cold beverage a couple times a week, you can grow a tiny succulent garden with no extra effort. Living Coaster is made from UV resistant recycled plastic and is fully recyclable.

HOW DID IT START?
|
|
Great ideas happen while relaxing with a cold drink in your hand. Sitting at a cafe in Saigon, Vietnam, Lyriel and Marshall realized a clever way to put to use that puddle of water that appears under your drink.
Soon after, Lyriel created a simple 3D model with tinkercad.com and a few prototypes were 3D printed. A few tiny succulents and a cactus were planted and many months of product testing followed. Despite a missing green thumb, the plants flourished! Now with a proven concept in hand, Lyriel brought together a team of designers and engineers to bring Living Coaster to life. |
HOW IT WORKS
Like MagicCondensation from your cold drink drips down into the Living Coaster where it flows into the connected plant pot, watering the plants. Frequent use and a sunny resting place will make your plants happy.

Drinks for Two, Three, Four...When not in use, stack your coasters together to form a spiraling tower of tiny gardens. Keep your table clutter free and create an eye catching centerpiece!
|
Personalize ItInside a dark cardboard box in a giant warehouse is no place for plants so we ship Living Coaster without any. Look below for a few live plants on amazon and links to our favorite online succulent shops.

FOR BEST RESULTS
|
Try to enjoy a cold beverage twice a week to adequately water your plants. If you live in a cold and/or extra dry region, simply add about a spoon of water directly into the coaster. Choose plants that have the same drinking habits as you and keep the coasters in a sunny place. Follow the care instructions for your plants.
