Grown on “Ikigai,” the Japanese concept for “a reason for being.”

It teaches that purpose is found at the intersection of what we love, what we are good at, what the world needs, and what we can be paid for.

Bit of a tangent, but does anyone know how to open the cork ring on these pots? I have a philodendron in one and it's stuck

Mine just pops out. It gets difficult to detach the plant from the cork when it grows secondary roots, but taking the cork out of the glass is not an issue

So maybe if it wont budge, use a sharp box cutter to remove sections of the cork. Should make it easier to remove, but you’ll lose the cork

Yeah mine kind of came out halfway and wedged itself in at a weird angle. Thanks for the suggestions :)
