What customers say

Know before you buy
The Chuppon uses a passive hydroponic system. A straw with an integrated wick sits in a glass of water, drawing moisture upward to hydrate the coco fiber wafer and seeds located on the character's back.
You can use any standard glass, mug, or cup. The Chuppon is designed to hang securely over the rim, provided the container has a relatively thin edge.
Yes, each kit comes with a specific seed pack, such as Mint, Basil, or Wild Strawberry. While you can technically replant the unit once the initial plant has run its course, it is best suited for the included herb varieties.
Absolutely. The Chuppon is designed for simplicity, requiring no assembly and minimal maintenance beyond ensuring the glass remains filled with water. Multilingual instructions are included to guide you through the initial setup.
Like most herbs, your Chuppon will thrive best in a bright, indoor location with indirect sunlight. Be sure to place your glass in a spot that receives adequate light to support healthy growth.
