SloveniaThe Slovenian company Potr has introduced a new flower pot called 'helix' that expands its volume eight times by unfolding, inspired by origami and NASA's folding technology. Developed over nearly two years, the pot starts as a compact container of 0.25 liters and unfolds into a 2-liter pot, allowing users to add fresh soil around existing roots without repotting. It includes a hidden water reservoir and self-watering system, enabling plants to grow from seed to maturity in the same pot.

This follows Potr’s previous success with a self-watering planter inspired by origami, released in 2019.
