Bring nature to your desktop with these nifty DIY kits that let you grow Japanese plants in your own home. Rather than buying greens like shiso or admiring foliage like momiji (maple) from afar, you can now cultivate the plants yourself – albeit in a miniature form. Start with the seedlings and then watch them grow over the course of a few months.

Don’t have a green thumb? All these plant-growing kits are geared towards beginners, and they come with everything you need – all you have to do is add water.
