Micro Air-Layering Pods

Micro Air layering Turtle Pods 

I’ve never had much luck rooting cuttings from my plants So, I set out to design some small air layering pods so I could propagate my herbs in situ.

After making the first version I noticed it kind of looked suspiciously like a turtle… I told myself I definitely wasn’t going to waste time on “cute” details. But somehow, despite that very serious resolution, by lunchtime I’d added a head. By dinner: a tail and shell scutes. Resistance was futile, the Turtle Pod had hatched.

I’ve successfully propagated thyme, oregano, and basil with them. Not exactly master-level difficulty plants, but hey, zero failures, I’ll take that as a win.

Assembly:

• The two halves of the pod are held together by small 8x2mm magnets in the four feet. 

If you've made it this far and concluded that this design and print might just be the best thing since sliced bread, and you’re overcome by a compelling urge to express that feeling, a "buymeacoffee" donation is always warmly appreciated. Alternatively, I also accept hearty pats on the back, fist bumps, comments along the lines of "this is totally rad," or virtually any other form of positive affirmation. They're all valid currencies in my book. If you're feeling particularly generous, you can contribute via the link here. https://buymeacoffee.com/overton_prints
