Growing nutritious herbs, fruits and veggies at home could be as easy as making coffee with the Click and Grow self-watering indoor gardens.

What is the Click and Grow Smart Garden?

Click and Grow Smart Garden is an indoor gardening device that lets users enjoy gardening without all the effort and guesswork. In essence, this smart garden seeks to provide optimal conditions for plants to thrive indoors under minimal supervision.

There is a small version that can grow three plants and a larger one that can hold up to nine plants. Both versions are small enough to fit even in the smallest indoor space.

How Does Click and Grow Work?

The garden includes several components that work hand-in-hand to sustain plant life.

  1. Countertop Smart Garden

As mentioned above, there is a 3-plant smart garden and a 9-plant smart garden. Each of these comes with complimentary pods to get you started.

Its bottom part comes with Smart Soil to grow your plants while the upper part has a modular lamp arm with LED lights. The arm is adjustable and allows you to move the LED lighting upwards as the plants grow in height.

It also has a 1.2-litre water tank which is capable of holding sufficient water to keep the plants in ideal condition for up to three weeks. There is a water level indicator that lets you know when it’s time to add more water into the tank.

  1. LED Lighting

These lights provide the plants with the energy required to thrive. It works in cycles of 16 hours on and 8 hours off.

According to the manufacturer, the LED system uses a natural-looking light system, letting plants grow while only consuming 8 watts of energy. Therefore, using the device for an entire year should only consume about $4-5 in electricity.

  1. Smart Soil

Unlike ordinary potting soil, the smart garden’s Smart Soil ensures even water distribution all over the nanostructure. This ensures that plant roots get access to water at all times. It also maintains optimal PH-levels as well as the ideal configuration of oxygen, moisture and nutrients.

Everything in it is natural and there are no hormones, fungicides, pesticides or any other harmful substances.

  1. Plant Pods

At the time of writing, there are 45 varieties of plant pods to choose from. These are pre-seeded and biodegradable pods that you place directly in the plant hole and allow to germinate.

They have transparent plastic biodome lids that create a mini-terrarium environment to help the seeds sprout. These lids are removed as soon as the seedlings touch the ceiling of the dome.
What Makes Click and Grow Popular

Today, people have little time to tend to plants. At the same time, not everyone has access to an outdoor garden space, particularly if one lives in the city. The ease of use of these smart gardens minimizes the time users have to spend tending to their produce.

Everything is automated and a user simply needs to add capsules and water and adjust the LED arms from time to time.

Moreover, they get access to fresh herbs, veggies and fruits conveniently from the kitchen countertop. Furthermore, controlled conditions made possible by the innovative concept minimize the chances of plant damage and loss.

Availability and Where to Get It

The Click and Grow Smart Garden System is available for purchase from the project’s official site. Prices vary according to the number of plant pods supported.

Furthermore, the complementary plant pods are for specific plants. Therefore, you might need to buy pods for other desired plants from the same site.
