You can see this blue glaze bonsai planter in this post about hydroculture conversion and pipette tubes. It is a typical bonsai planter with a drain hole that I plugged. The tabletop Ficus benjamina thrives in the hydroculture (clay pebble) environment.
Note the black pebble ground cover. This is not a plant maintenance problem because there is no need for finger poking to check soil moisture. The water level is checked with a pipette. Given adequate light anyone can care for this plant. No green thumb is required.
Both soil sub-irrigation and clay pebble hydroculture (a form of sub-irrigation) allow the creation of more visually pleasing plantings that include ground cover decoration. This could be a combination of polished stones and a vining plant such as Ficus pumila (Creeping Fig).
Instead of a just a plant in a pot on your desktop, you can be looking at a landscape that connects to the natural world.
