The tevaplanter grows plants in a whole new way. The tevaplanter is a vessel that acts as a water bank. The water is held in the vessel and is slowly diffused through the material to the cells on the surface for plants do soak up. A centerpiece for your home like you've never seen before.

Received the planters x 3, set up with chia and, vines on a mother plant.
The pores continue to seep water and break the water tension so the drip tray fills then overflows, regardless of how little or much water is in the vessel. Water damage on two pieces of furniture.
Wouldn’t recommend.

Doesn't work
Kickstarter campaign took way longer than promised, but this happens, my 2 planters arrived in the end.
Sadly since then, I've been less than thrilled about them. The first plant, the chia seeds that came with the planters, worked like a charm. After that though, no water is coming through, neither with mine nor with the one i gifted my mother.
Checking the previous forum, I tried cleaning with vinegar, with a toothbrush, but all this did was make the water come through the bottom instead of the pores on the planter. The creators are just telling us to mail them, instead of providing a solution.
They migrated to a new forum, which took ages and led to the deletion of all the old posts. Sadly the new forum hasn't improved their response.
Can't recommend this product.

Product doesn't work
This is a £60 piece of clay that does not work.
I'm going to defend the "scam" accusations against them as part of the $6m raised. Yes, it took way too long to ship a product, but I see that happen on every kick starter product. That said, it's still a waste of money and would advise against buying.
My first attempt at growing cress was a roaring success. Since then, two weeks after receiving the planter, nothing has grown since.
The pores no longer allow water to come through.
This complaint has been made frequently on the old forum, as well as on the new forum and directly on their Instagram posts.
The solution offered by the team is to DM them directly for a solution, it would be great if they could just publish guides on how to fix the issues directly on their website, there is a section for it but it doesn't link anywhere.
I've emailed the team for assitance over a week ago and have chased up the email only to get the same message back "currently experiencing a high volume of inquiries we are trying to complete, resulting in a queue for responses".
Either they're getting a massive number of complaints similar to this one that the planter isn't working, they don't care about the fact they don't work, or there is no fix for the planters and they do not work as intended. In terms of the product aestetic look and packaging, they were all top class, but unfortuantely practically speaking the planter does not work as intended past the first use/two weeks.

Despite contacting them numerous times…
Despite contacting them numerous times I have never received my item. Terrible rip off. The company claimed they had sent my item, but nothing was received. I invested over 3 years ago and just keep getting despatch updates, but no product

I am still waiting for the terraplanter
I am still waiting for my terraplanter…I am from the U.K. and basically trying to find out what is really happening…it seems that you had already made deliveries since 2020 to Europe but nowhere U.K. to be seen on your list. It seems to me you’re taking advantage of people just to give you money but not delivering on your promises??? Sent already a couple of emails and no responses still…con artists???

This product does not work
This product does not work. On the kickstarter website, comments are mostly about people with useless products where nothing can grow. I got two, none are working, water does not permeate, seeds cannot grow.
Avoid that scam...

October 2020
October 2020. I am the eternal optimist. I always look for the good in people. I am furious at being taken advantage of. It's a paltry amount, but, because of terraplanter I refuse to take part in ANY kickstarter or project funded operations again. This cost kickstarter far more than the paltry amount I spent. I have a hard time believing kickstarter hasn't stepped in. Very disappointed.
FINALLY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 a really lame and completely dishonest reply stating their relentless pursuit of a product that after 3 years of waiting is rather substandard. I am quite disappointed in this planter. It's really quite lame, and it has to be the perfect plant in order to work... PATHETIC!!!
Response from tevaplanterSep 11, 2023
Hello Brad,
There was no taking advantage of, Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform where we the creators of the project use funds to get the business up and running and getting rewards shipped. There was a global pandemic that hindered our progress greatly and caused massive delays from accessing countries to shipping material. We provided updates monthly to inform backers with our progress and issues.
The planter can grow thousands of different plants, we have over 40 plants on the web guide with instructional video tutorials and comprehensive information for a successful grow. Different plants need different environments to successfully grow but there are many easy to grow plants like many different kinds of ferns. You can grow more than one kind of plant as long as they require similar environments. Such as Orchids with Ferns and Hoyas in their ideal environments, theres endless possibilities.
Cultivating plants can require some expertise, especially when it involves innovative methods. That's why we provide a web guide complete with video tutorials to assist you. If you would like assistance with choosing plants or anything else to help your grow, me and my team of plant gurus are more than happy to help.

Best,

Never ever funding indiegogo or…
Never ever funding indiegogo or Kickstarter projects ever again. Backed this project THREE YEARS AGO and they always fall short on their promises. Tevadama / Tevaplanter / Teraplanter / Adama studios ( they’ve changed their names multiple times ) probably to run away from being caught as a scam company. They’ve found loop holes in the indiegogo and Kickstarter platforms and are taking full advantages of it ( by not delivering on promised dates , never responding to emails or comments , no refunds ) etc.
