This project aims to produce a solution to the problem surrounding the small number of young adults that buy houseplants. The conclusion for this problem came from an analytical production process, in which design theory played a key role. The project has utilized several methods of creating and constructing an analysis of the problem at hand, and several design methods to work an idea into a tangible and functional product. The analytical methods used to establish a documented understanding of the problem involve interviews, colored cognitive mapping, diffusion of innovation, as well as sever
