Melloduck's Super Mario Bros Potted Plants Let You Own Your Power-up Plants
Michael Hines — September 13, 2011 — Eco
The Super Mario Potted Plants may be the most awesome set of faux flowers ever created. Designed by Etsy merchant Melloduck, these "plants" are designed to look like the iconic pipe plants featured throughout the Mario games.
The true genius behind the Super Mario Potted Plants is that they require no care whatsoever. The plants are made using melted Perler beads and are set in green terracotta pots. This is important to note as most gamers would probably kill an actual Mario-inspired plant due to inattention. (Those experience points aren't going to earn themselves.)
A set of Super Mario Potted Plants comes with one fire plant, one piranha plant and one nipper plant with pots included. The total cost for a set is $35.
