3. Using tweezers, place each small sponge piece with its plant into the plant basket. Make sure that each sponge is
firmly at the bottom of the basket, and that the roots can grow down vertically.
NOTE: Try not to squeeze all the water out of the sponge, and make sure the roots remain intact.
4. Place the plant baskets into the designated holes
in the plant bed, making sure that the roots reach
down into the water. Once the plant baskets are
situated, turn on the LED light to begin a new light
cycle until your plants are fully grown.
Notes on Cultivation:
• Place one planting basket in each empty hole of
the plant bed. Use the planting hat to cover any
empty holes, or else algae will grow in the
water reservoir.
• The reservoir has a line indicating the max level
of water it can contain. Do not overfill the
reservoir with water.
• When harvesting your plants, try not to let
any broken roots fall into the reservoir.
Once the plant is harvested, remove and
dispose of the roots, and store the basket
for the next planting cycle.
• We recommend cleaning the reservoir at least once every month, in order to drain the concentrate residue and
remove any sediment and broken roots.
• The planting baskets are designed for the cultivation of smaller plant and vegetable types, such as Coriander, Basil,
and Mint. For other larger plants or vegetables, such as lettuce, etc., you will need to pay attention to the distance
between plants, as the space can get crowded.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are there chemicals in the nutrient concentrates? Are the chemicals harmful?
The process of hydroponics has existed since 1929 and since then, has been used and developed constantly in
agriculture. Our specially developed nutrient concentrates contain all the necessary minerals for healthy plants,
including macroelements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur; and microelements
like iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and more. This rich combination of active ingredients contains all the
important elements that are vital to the natural growth process of plants.
Why is it that plants grow faster in my Indoor Garden Kit than they naturally would in conventional soil?
The growth and development of your plants is 100% natural. The faster growth is due to the composition of the
nutrient concentrate solutions. Most plants can only absorb ionic elements. When planted in conventional soil, these
elements must first be dissolved from other organic elements and transported to the root, which then absorbs and
