At Botanopia we celebrate the beauty of nature and the magical force that transforms small seeds into giant trees.
Our bestseller is a porcelain accessory that lets you easily grow small trees and plants in your favourite glass or vase. It sits on top of the glass opening, and lets the seeds or cuttings hover just above the water level, so they can grow roots without rotting. The white surface acts as a picture frame to shine the spotlight on your growing seedlings.
About Botanopia:
Botanopia was created by Studio Lise Lefebvre out of our love for all growing things and the beautiful simplicity of watching a small seed turn into a plant.
All the Botanopia products are handmade in the EU, with care for people and the environment and shipped out of our office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Botanopia - I love this and gave it a try. However, the green plaster I used washed away a lot of the white plaster underneath. Do you have a recommendation? Maybe the white should set more before you add color but you didn’t do that, so unsure. Thank you.
I would never use this as using a toothpick to dig under it is to satisfying 😢
Botanopia - what is the board you use? I used a piece of 1” thick pine, 17” across but the moisture from the clay warped the board. Is yours butcher block? Any special type of board/wood? Thank you.
Great tip… thanks for sharing! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
I’m not sure you’ll see this comment since it’s been a while since you made this video, but what kind of clay do you use? Water based ceramic clay or oil based plasticine? Mine keeps sticking to the plaster, almost melting, like peanut butter. Your work is beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to make this.
it's clay meant for ceramics, so if for some reason it sticks to the plaster, you can simply rinse it off with water. Maybe wait a little longer to unmould it and see if that helps?
@@botanopia Thank you for your reply. I ran two experiments yesterday with the same results. For others that may have the same issue, the clay I use is oil-based modeling clay so I think the heat from the plaster is softening it - but too much. It’s extra soft clay so maybe I should use stiffer clay. Also I have one other that I’ve left overnight so we’ll see if I get better results. Thank you again!
These are beautiful. Your tutorial is fantastic. Youve described every detail in easy to understand instruction. Thank you so much. ❤
You can give more strength to plaster just adding a little glue, white glue for wood
Can you tell me where you get your pigment pls?
Thanks for sharing this.
Großartig! Welches Pigment empfiehlst du?
Please don’t do this! I recently got bar soap under my nail! It is not coming out and it burns so bad!
If your bar soap is burning your skin, there's something wrong with it and you probably shouldn't use it on your body... The whole point of this tip is that soap is very easy to dissolve with warm water... that's how soap works.
@@botanopia thanks! I think it’s burning because it is quite literally underneath my nail.
Life changing life hack
Clever technique thanks
Great job! Love watching your videos/reels ❤❤❤
I broke it with my hands 😊
Maravilloso trabajo. puedes poner subtítulos en español?😊
That’s so amazing!!
How do you get the white of the plaster to show up better in the flowers? Do I need to let it sit before doing the pour over it or add white paint to it?
the plaster is naturally very white when dry, you don't need to add paint. I guess you could maybe paint on top after it's completely cured but I've never tried. If you want the white to be more contrasted i'd suggest using a darker color for the background plaster instead.
i was trying it but i guess the leaves have to be yellow for it? lol or maybe i just suck
Don’t need to leave it in fridge for two months, I just put them two weeks ago in a sealed bag and left them in dark, and have sprouted roots already, but I’m not sure if it’s the right time of the season for them to grow
Germinate is the easy part how to grow is the hard part
excellent tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to share your art and knowledge. ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH! BUT THE SEED WAS HARD TO CUT LOL!! <3
Wow, these are beautiful! I’ve never tried, but your explanations are so good! One question, did you tint the greenish looking plaster or is that the natural color it dries to? Also, what type of paint to tint plaster? Thank you!
Where do you get those cups?
That acorn was bad it had larvae in it
Them things are better than multivitamins
Seed coat isn't necessary to cut my mango mini plant grow on it's own
cool
best to use a butter knife or something with no sharp blade to open it. also there is usually a small or soft gap on the outer shell. I'd like you to please locate that spot and insert the tool to open the shell.
It does work, but why would you do it. It doesn’t even look good🤨
Or eat the mango lol
i have planted a mango seed about 2 weeks ago and i see its mostly green and there is a little bump which is growing to be i guess the stem, but it also has a brown spot near. Is it normal or should i do something?
❤ from SRILANKA
this method usually gets my seeds moldy. I just put them directly in the dirt
Sprinkling cinnamon on the paper towel/seed as you’re folding or wrapping it will prevent mold 🙏🏿
@@coffee-sama Thank you!

Music’s annoying
Music can evoke different emotions and preferences in people. While you might find it annoying, others might find it uplifting, soothing, or inspiring. It's all a matter of personal taste and perspective.
Pleaseeeee , what song is this And Artist ??? 🙏
Fake It’s not work
thank you for your very valuable comment ;-) ... luckily many other users have actually taken the time to try it and happily reported it worked for them.
This was seriously WONDERFUL
Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate your feedback.
Love this!!!👏👏👏👏 I want to make grand tour intaglio’s. Any ideas?? Thank you so much!! Awesome video!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your positive feedback and support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding creating grand tour intaglios, here are some ideas for you to consider. You can start by researching different intaglio techniques and materials used. Experiment with different designs and subjects for your intaglio prints. Don't be afraid to play around with different color combinations and prints unique. Good luck with your creations! Keep up the great work! ️❤️
YALL I did this was a Costco mango and it’s working so far
That's great and good to hear. Thank you so much.
get a higher quality mango like an Orange Sherbet. Grocery store mangos are so bad in comparison, those varieties have thicker skin and more fibrous which is why they ship well which is all the stores care about.
How long did it take to grow?
@@xDaPrbl3mSolverx into a fruiting tree? probably around 4 years.
🎉
i love you from muneeb
The butterflies are lovely. I have Always had a fascination with the seasons of the Ginkgo Tree. I will now see butterflies in these wonderful trees, thank you.
Hey @marshamunger6004, thanks for watching our video! We're so thrilled you enjoyed it. 😃
How much days to put the shell in damp conditions. Is one day ok?
One day is good as well but leaving it for few more days (2-5 days) would get better results.
nice
Thank you so much.
My grandmother planted nearly 74 mango plants but she didnt do this type of drama, she sow the seeds directly into the soil now it has grown into the big n healthy trees
That's amazing to hear about your grandmother's direct method of planting mango seeds. It's a testament to the natural process of growth and nurturing in nature. Planting seeds directly into the soil allows them to root and grow into healthy trees over time. It's a simple yet effective approach that can yield beautiful results. Your grandmother's dedication and love for gardening have resulted in a thriving orchard of mango trees.
Yes, if you grow it in the dirt directly, your plant becomes stronger
Can you just take the seed out and put the seed directly in the soil?
Yes

Thank you
