My wife has a Jeep Renegade Deserthawk, and we have a small succulent in a pot on the dashboard as a unique deco (kinda like how VW Beetles often have a flower) - so... when I picked up my Cactus Gray XLT AWD Maverick last Saturday, I got to thinking about the same idea since both our vehicles have a bit of a 'desert' theme.

Here's what I put into my Maverick today: I 3D printed this faceted pot that I found for free download on Thingiverse (low poly planter) and I sent the creator a tip for their cool work. I upsized the file just a bit to 77mm in the X axis.

I got the fake succulent at Hobby Lobby, and I do ceramic tile work for a job, so I used some epoxy grout to fill the pot. Then I used some double sided carpet tape to hold the pot to the flat spot behind the 8" screen.

I picked this little pot because it's low-poly, faceted design is similar to the unique faceted design on the dashboard. I think it's pretty cool, but I'm guessing most of you will think it's a little odd : )

Here's one of the pix from Thingiverse of the pot. Check it out at www.thingiverse.com/thing:2999036

Would it fit in the cubby?

I'm in for a cubby cactus as well if my truck ever gets built.

I'm printing an altered shape and size of the faceted pot right now to see how it would look in the cubby. I'll update in a couple days after I find the right fake plants to put in it too.
