The planter can be used both with the plant upright for initial growth and stability during cultivation and shipment and then inverted to an upside down position to hang plants in the home garden. The container can be folded for easy storage and shipment and is inexpensive to manufacture and ship. Due to its versatility, the planter also ensures healthier and unbroken plants due to the upright and stable position of seedlings during cultivation and shipment.
