Your Guide to Choosing a Click & Grow Smart Garden
Can you imagine life without plants? Neither can we. Plants are the silent healers of our world. They have a positive influence on our physical health, our emotions and even our stress levels. They also teach us some amazing life lessons. With Click & Grow’s fully automated indoor gardens, it’s easier than ever to grow your favorite fruits, greens, herbs and flowers at home.
Owning a smart indoor garden brings countless benefits such as:
- Access to fresh, homegrown food 365 days a year
- Improved nutrition
- Less food waste
- Endless cooking possibilities
- Luscious greenery in your home
- Increased air quality
- Beautiful ambient light
- Decorative plants for home, office and school
- A unique conversation starter when entertaining guests
- An educational resource for families and schools
How does our technology work?
First things first. Technology. Ever seen how a coffee capsule machine works? Well, our smart gardens work in a similar style! Instead of coffee pods, we produce biodegradable plant pods that you click into your smart garden.
These pods contain a unique substance called ‘smart soil’ which is at the heart of our technology. What makes smart soil superior to regular potting soil? Firstly, it’s 100% clean. We check every batch of smart soil against 500 of the most commonly used chemicals in agriculture, ensuring you get the cleanest produce possible. We also check to make sure there aren’t any heavy trace metals or any harmful stuff inside.
Smart soil already contains nutrients for your plant and automatically distributes them to the roots. It enables plants to be fed with the highest precision, resulting in produce that’s high in essential vitamins and minerals. Thanks to smart soil, water is distributed evenly throughout the entire plant pod and available to the roots when needed. At the same time, it gives the plant roots constant, unrestricted access to oxygen. Furthermore, smart soil maintains consistent pH levels which leads to healthier plants.
While smart soil is doing its work, the smart garden’s lamp provides your plants with the optimal amount of light. All of our gardens contain energy efficient LED lamps. Within the lamps are inbuilt timers for a 16 hours on and 8 hours off cycle for optimal growth. The garden’s water float will let you know when it’s time to add more water. Easy!
