The Sky Planter Clear is the latest Boskke, a gardening design studio based in Wellington, New Zealand. Although the flower pot is very similar to the original designs, it has been updated using a transparent material in place of the ceramic commonly used. This is a strong indicator that people want more options when it comes to the upside down planters.
Additionally, the Sky Planter Clear allows more variety of flowers to be hung upside down using this unique and innovative system. As Yanko Design accurately points out, it is "perfectly suited for plants with roots designed for sun exposure like orchids." People are also given a rare glimpse into the roots of their precious blooms.
