The Illuminated Root Vase
Transform Your Plant Care with the Illuminated Root Vase
Are you looking to elevate your home décor while providing a unique environment for your favorite plants? The innovative Illuminated Root Vase is designed to allow plants like Devil's Ivy (Pothos) and Monstera to thrive beautifully in water, illuminated by LED lights that enhance their natural beauty.
These plants are naturally epiphytic or semi-aquatic, meaning their roots can handle both light exposure and water-based environments. The roots of these species are adapted to function in the air, soil, or even directly submerged in water, making them ideal candidates for hydroponic setups where they can grow with minimal maintenance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Illuminated Root Vase
- Select Your Plant (see list below to get inspired): Choose a plant that thrives in water and can tolerate light exposure to its roots. We recommend Devil’s Ivy (Pothos) or Monstera, as they are naturally resilient and perform exceptionally well in hydroponic conditions.
- Prepare the Roots: Before placing your plant in the water, rinse the roots thoroughly to remove any soil. This helps prevent contamination and keeps your water clean.
- Fill the Glass: Add water to the glass planter, just enough to cover the roots. Make sure the stems and leaves stay above the waterline to prevent rotting.
- Insert the Plant: Carefully position your plant so its roots are submerged in the water. Make sure the plant is stable and standing upright.
- Turn on LED Lighting: Our LED base is designed to gently illuminate the roots, creating a unique visual effect while allowing plants to absorb energy. This light is safe for the roots and won’t overheat the water.
- Maintain the Water: Change the water every 1–2 weeks to keep it fresh and prevent algae growth. You can also add a few drops of liquid fertilizer every month to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth.
Tips & Tricks for Best Results
- Positioning: Keep your planter in a spot where it receives indirect sunlight or mild artificial light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may encourage excessive algae growth in the water.
- Monitor Root Growth: If the roots grow excessively, feel free to trim them back. Plants like Pothos and Monstera are very forgiving and will continue to thrive even after root pruning.
- Prevent Algae: If you notice algae forming in the water, simply rinse the roots and glass and replace the water.
