English	Rooted in Chinese culture, Growlin not only offers users a unique horticultural masterpiece but also enables people to experience the serene and elegant taste of life inspired by ancient traditions. The plant kit is inspired by the traditional Chinese symbols of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum," symbolizing “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese culture. A distinctive feature of Growlin's design is the use of semi-transparent materials, allowing convenient observation of the soil's moisture levels and the overall health of plant roots. The small holes at the connection points facilitate drainage, addressing potential water-related issues.
