The Growth Planter explores how cultural artifacts can exist within everyday environments.
Pokémon cards are typically archived — stored in binders or boxes. This study reframes the card as something that can live in the open, integrated into daily life.
The addition of a plant introduces a second layer: time. Growth is slow, imperfect, and ongoing.
Together, the card and the plant create a quiet tension between memory and change — a composition that evolves with its environment.

The Growth Planter frames a Pokémon trading card as a quiet design object within a living plant. It brings modern nostalgia into your everyday space, pairing cultural memory with a simple act of care.
A small composition of growth, routine, and reflection.
The Growth Planter is a small-batch desk object that integrates a plant vessel with a front-facing card display. The card becomes part of the composition — framed within the object rather than stored away.

All Pokémon trading cards included with Slam Dunks Studios products are 100% authentic, officially released Pokémon trading cards.
- Cards are carefully sourced, inspected, and handled for display purposes
- Cards are never altered, reproduced, or counterfeit
- Cards are selected for visual harmony and design cohesion, not competitive play or grading

Slam Dunks Studios curates cards as part of a design object — not as a trading or investment product.
How should I care for the planter?
- Intended for indoor use
- Use plants with light watering needs (succulents, cactus)
- Remove excess water after watering to avoid moisture buildup
- PLA is plant-safe but not waterproof — overwatering should be avoided
Can I swap the card?
Yes. Cards can be removed and swapped carefully.
We recommend handling cards by the edges and keeping them sleeved.
Are specific Pokémon guaranteed?
For Studio Edition studies, specific Pokémon are not guaranteed unless explicitly stated.
Cards are curated within the defined study (Botanical, Origin, or Icon) to maintain flexibility and consistency.
Are the cards real?
Yes. All cards are authentic Pokémon trading cards, shipped sleeved for protection.
Is this an official Pokémon product?
No.

Collector Notes
slightly more seriously than they probably should.
"I Bought It for the Card. My Partner Thinks It's for the Plant."
Technically both are true. The plant makes the desk feel calm. The card makes it feel like childhood showed up to work.
"Plants and Nostalgia Are Apparently Good for Productivity"
Somewhere between watering the plant and staring at the card, I somehow finished my work faster.
"My Desk Looks Like Someone With Hobbies Works Here"
Before this my desk was just a laptop and anxiety. Now it feels curated.
"This Is Somehow Both a Planter and a Conversation Starter"
Every Zoom call someone eventually asks about it. Nobody expects Pokémon cards to show up in a plant.
