In today's busy, frustrating and fast-paced society, sometimes we just need
someone to lend an ear to us. Plants don't answer back, interrupt or judge you. However, a standard plant just doesn't quite cut
it; how do you know if it can even hear you? This is where Pekoppa the Robotic
Listening Plant comes in. The Little Healing Pot Plant is always there for you. It'll respond to your voice with lifelike leaf and
stem movements as it bends, sways and nods, reacting to your voice.
The movements are extremely convincing; if real plants could move, this is
exactly how they'd do it!

How does it work? Pekoppa was developed
in Japan (where else!) with the help of Dr. Tomio Watanabe of Okayama
University. At first glance, the little pot plant seems pretty basic. However
inside its stem lurks cutting edge technology in the form of high-tech material
"BioMetal
Fibre". These thin flexible "muscle wires" become stiff to
extend and contract silently when electrical currents are passed through them,
creating fluid, lifelike movement. |
Uses: Pekoppa aids with relaxation, de-stressing, expressing feelings
and sharing secrets or worries. Speak to it whenever you want, and it'll
respond with a mixture of casual and hearty nods offering agreement, comfort or
sympathy depending on your voice tone. The more you talk to it, the more it
seems to understand you.
The unique Pekoppa was imported by us from Japan - you won't find any
other UK store selling it. Remember it's a rather delicate creature that doesn't
take well to pruning or watering! You can choose your plant's personality using
