open

Open Bowl

No lid — choose plants that enjoy airflow and brighter light.

Open bowls dry faster and suit haworthia-style plantings or temporary moss bowls you mist often. They are not self-watering ecosystems.

When to choose

Use open bowls for arid plants or for practising layout without humidity management.

Ventilation notes

Fully open — humidity comes from the room. Mist intentionally; do not expect a closed water cycle.
