THE JOURNEY OF VerdiPot®

VerdiPot® was born from a shared vision and a deep love for plants. During the work-from-home period, our co-founder and principal designer, Xuan, found himself surrounded by plants – his way of bringing calm and nature into a stressful time. Despite 17 years of experience in industrial design, he struggled with a common issue: keeping his plants healthy and thriving.

It was during one of these moments of frustration that Evan, his business partner and a rare plant collector with over 20 years of experience, shared a simple but profound insight:

“Why not combine self-watering with air pruning?”

Evan’s extensive experience caring for hundreds of rare plant species had shown him that the key to vibrant growth lay in balancing consistent hydration with proper root aeration. His idea became the spark that ignited Xuan’s creative process.

“After losing a few of my favorite plants to inconsistent watering during busy days, I realized Evan was right,” Xuan recalls.

“We needed a planter that could harmonize hydration and airflow, allowing roots to breathe and grow as they would in their natural environment.”

The two co-founders dove into the design process together, sketching ideas, building prototypes, and testing materials late into the night. The result was a planter unlike any other – a fusion of art and science, crafted with intention. The Air Pruning Core Pot mimics natural growth conditions, preventing root circling and encouraging denser, healthier roots. Meanwhile, the integrated self-watering system ensures consistent moisture, providing plants with just the right amount of hydration.

“We didn’t want VerdiPot® to be just another planter,” Xuan explains. “Our vision were to transform plant care into a beautiful, meditative ritual – something that brings peace and serenity, no matter how hectic life gets.”

Rooted in San Francisco’s spirit of creativity and innovation, VerdiPot® embodies a timeless design that elevates any space. It’s more than just a product – it’s an invitation to reconnect with nature and find moments of calm in the everyday. This is our journey, and we invite you to join us in creating a little sanctuary in every home.
