We live in the Midwest and deal with bad weather six months of the year, if not more! Plants that in warmer climates are perennials are only annuals to us, as they die at the first hard frost. We buy new ones every year and it get expensive. Many of us have heirloom plants from our family or were given a beautiful blooming plant as a gift that we want to enjoy for years. We like to get them outside during the good weather and bring them inside mid-October.
The Upotic Planter provides an interesting alternative for some of our special plants. We understand that there are plants that really do need to go dormant. Sometimes it’s cost effective or just plain easier to re-purchase plants every year. However, for those special plants that we truly love, that have an opportunity to live indoors as a houseplant, what could be better than staying inside your comfy planter as you travel through the seasons? For those of us who enjoy living, blooming, greenery in our winter homes, the Upotic Planter is a great solution.
