apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Container store has something similar, as part of their new organic office organizing line.

Also, check Smith & Hawken.

i know just the place! it's in santa monica but you can phone order. it's called artichoke and company. they have a website. i just purchased some taller ones. but they have all sizes and i think would custom make some for you.

Does anyone know what this gorgeous plant is and where I can buy some?

hctrees - looks like a coconut. I found a posting at one point of someone who said they found Ikea selling them. I would not count on that being an everyday thing. I have not had any luck, but some people can even get a grocery store coconut to sprout. You can also buy them mail-order already sprouting (some places can be expensive), or if you live in NYC you can go to the plant district and get one for under $20 AND most likely find the planter in one of the neighboring shops.

Just make sure you have a spot that will give it some nice, bright, indirect sunlight. And prepare for when it gets big!

it's a sprouted coconut and they're available right now in the plant district. growing a coconut from the grocery store is quite an undertaking... i've looked into it.

btw, the container store boxes are the perfect wood grain, but, when i remove the top of the box, there will be a lip... so i really can't use that as a planter.

i didn't see a similar planter on artichokes and company's website, so i ordered their catalog.

thanks everyone!!!

any more suggestions!
