Let's Plant Those Seeds!

Start Your Garden in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Add Water

Use cool water and fill to the indicator. Most tap water works great.

Step 2: Add Plant Food

Follow feeding instructions on the Plant Food Bottle based on the total number of pod holes your garden contains

Step 3: Drop in Pre-Seeded Pods

  • Do not remove the pod labels which help inhibit algae growth.
  • Optionally, add mini grow domes on top of your seed pods to create the perfect humidity level for your seeds.
  • These domes improve initial germination and sprout health, but should be removed once your new plants almost touch the top of the domes.

Planting Tips

  • If you have a "Plant Select" feature, choose the option that most closely matches the varieties you're growing.
  • If you have hard or softened water at home, a 50/50 mix of distilled and tap water may give you better results.
  • Use Plant Spacers to cover any pod holes not being used to prevent algae growth.
