We’ve never had much of a green thumb but maybe we’ll have more luck with an air thumb? A small Japanese company based out of Kyushu has created a fun, poetic twist on indoor gardening. By utilizing the opposing forces of magnetic energy they’ve created a levitating plant called Air Bonsai.
The Air Bonsai consists of 2 main components, the “energy base,” made from Japanese ceramic, and the levitating “little star.” Both come with built-in magnets that enable the levitation. The base also comes with an AC adapter and needs to be plugged in.
Hoshinchu, the Kyushu-based workshop that created Air Bonsai, recently launched a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter to bring their product to the market. It appears that the basic Air Bonsai set starts at $200 and they’re targeting a delivery date of August 2016.
But note that the basic set is a DIY set and requires you to use your own plant. The workshop is offering various pre-made bonsai at higher pledge levels ($500 – $1,000) but, due to strict import restrictions, the plants will be procured locally and will likely differ from what’s pictured.

We’re happy everyone is so enthusiastic about this but we’re only a media outlet that reported on the story. Everyone interested in the Air Bonsai should contact Hoshinchu or pledge to their Kickstarter campaign (links to both are in the article).

The LITTLE GREEN PLANET Project is also live on Kickstarter. BUT it looks more modern AND costs half the price of the Air Bonsai
