more green for your purse....

from the land of all things tiny and cute comes a brand new way to teensy-fy your life....mini key chain plants! yes, you too can grow a itsy bitsy plant in your pocket. in theory this is really cool, but i'm afraid that, despite my love of greenery, i'd manage to kill these poor little guys in my purse, which is so often slung mercilessly around town. however, if you go a bit easier on your belongings than i do, this could be just the thing for you. for only ten bucks, you can foster a fledgling fir (or a number of other plants- mostly cacti) until it outgrows its tiny arboretum, after which you can transfer it to a normal-sized planter of your choice. always something tiny and cool coming from japan....[via the cool kids at treehugger]
