Hand-crafted in The Netherlands, these simple porcelain germination plates work on top of drinking glasses or Mason jars. They are versatile for propagating cuttings as well as forcing tree seeds and bulbs.

The plate with the small hole is designed to grow tree seeds like acorns or chestnuts and also works for smaller flower bulbs like snowdrop or crocus. The plate with the larger hole is ideal for growing larger seeds like avocado pits or for forcing narcissus bulbs. Both are suitable for propagating cuttings. Gift boxed as shown and includes a detailed step-by-step instructional book.


Lise Lefebvre was raised in “a tiny village” near Paris but lives in the Netherlands, where she earned her master’s degree at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Now she works across disciplines: “drawing, painting, cutting, stitching, melting, knitting, baking, spraying, weaving, molding and generally making things.” For Bloomist, she’s created porcelain germination plates, which can be used to grow seedlings from avocado pits, acorns, pineapples, pileas, and more: “This is the first plant-related product I designed, and also the product that made me launch the Botanopia brand,” Lefebvre says. The piece, she says, is a response to her work connecting her home with the wilderness she loves. “I take walks in nature as often as possible, and I'm always collecting interesting leaves, seeds and other treasures — my pockets are always full of beautiful acorns and chestnuts,” she says. “I've wanted to grow them in a way that would still show the beauty of the seed, instead of burying it in the ground. That’s why I designed the porcelain germination plates.”

Germination plates

I just received the plates and plan to put them to use in the next few days. I was impressed with the entire process of ordering, receiving, and unpacking your product. Excellent quality. Loved the cloth bag the brass plates came in. Thank you and look forward to making an additional purchase.
