Pet-Deterring Plant Covers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Planty Cover Was Designed to Keep Pets & Kids from Scattering Soil

— September 14, 2016 — Lifestyle
These plant covers were made to offer consumers a solution to the mess that pets and children can sometimes make of indoor foliage.

Designed in a lab near Milan, Italy, the product works by covering the pot and going over the top of it to ensure that the soil that supports the plant is out of reach from playful paws and little hands. The simple design makes it incredibly easy to use, as all consumers need to do is place it over the pot, pull the drawstrings tight and then tie it secure.

With a vast variety of choices to choose from, consumers can also use the plant covers to bring a playful pop of color into their homes. Soon to be on Kickstarter, the creators of the 'Planty Cover' hope to garner enough funding to bring the product to mass production so that more can benefit from its useful function.
Trend Themes
1. Pet-deterring Products - The success of the plant covers for keeping pets away from plants presents an opportunity for similar products in the market such as deterrent sprays and animal-proof barriers.
2. Practical Home Decor - Planty Covers offer both practical and aesthetic benefits for customers, paving the way for more home decor products with a dual purpose.
3. Crowdfunding for Inventions - The creators of Planty Covers are turning to crowdfunding, highlighting an opportunity for inventors and entrepreneurs to fund and mass produce their ideas without relying on traditional investors.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Supplies - Pet product companies can expand their offerings with more pet-deterrent solutions like plant covers.
2. Home Goods - Retailers of Home goods can explore other opportunities for practical and decorative products such as Planty Covers.
3. Crowdfunding Platforms - Increased demand for crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo presents an opportunity for more inventors and entrepreneurs to release their ideas to a broader audience.
