The Click and Grow is a unique product that’s ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy indoor herbs and vegetables without the typical hassles of growing indoors.
How’s this possible?
It’s because the Click and Grow is a smart garden that uses a special type of soil and more to provide the perfect conditions for growing fresh herbs and certain fruits indoors, all year round.
While all of this sounds awesome, we have to verify if the Click & Grow is actually as awesome as it sounds. To do this, our Click and Grow Review will examine how effective the device is and whether it’s worth your money especially the Smart Garden 3.
Let’s get started!
Review: What’s So Special About the Click and Grow Indoor Herb Garden?
In this review, we’ll take a look at the smaller setup that uses three plant capsules. The first thing we noticed was how user-friendly and hassle-free it is. You don’t have to worry about pesticides, pH levels, regular watering, adequate sunlight, or the other hassles of maintaining an indoor/outdoor garden.
The Click and Grow system handles it all for you, and its smart interface allows you to customize its operation.
How Does It Work?
The Click and Grow 3’s design makes it easy to use. With very little effort, you can grow up to three plants at a time.
A special product called Smart Soil is used instead of regular potting mix. Smart Soil is made of natural materials and provides a suitable environment for growing plants. The soil preserves pH levels and provides oxygen and essential nutrients to keep plants healthy.
Very little of this soil is used, which keeps things nice and neat, but it is highly effective, and you can grow a wide variety of plants in the device. The most common are dwarf basil, mini tomatoes, and lettuce. You can also use your own herbs with their DIY refills.
Place the pre-seeded plant pods/capsules into the Click and Grow and add water to the appliance’s reservoir. Plug the system into a power outlet, and the self-watering planter will take care of the rest while you watch your herb garden grow.
Since the system doesn’t depend on natural sunlight, grow lights are placed over each plant capsule to ensure the plants get enough light to facilitate photosynthesis.
The whole package is neat and user-friendly for anyone who wants beautiful and healthy plants in their home, minus the trouble of constantly worrying about getting enough sun and water.
What Can You Grow?
There are several things you can grow in the Click and Grow smart garden pods. With more than 45 pre-seeded plant pods to choose from, you could grow lavender, wild strawberries, cilantro, basil, thyme, sage, parsley, cherry tomatoes, chili peppers, and many more. See all the available varieties on the Click and Grow website.
The best part is you can grow most of the plants indoors at any time of the year with the Smart Garden. And since the plants are growing inside, you don’t have to worry about damage from the elements and pests or about harmful substances getting into your indoor garden.
How Do Its Different Components Work?
Different components combine to make the Click and Grow Smart Garden 3 work. The most important components are:
LED grow lights: These energy-efficient lights assist the plants with photosynthesis all year round, regardless of the weather outside. The grow light is adjustable with a modular design, so you can raise it more easily as your herbs get taller.
Water reservoir: This holds all the water that keeps the plants hydrated. The system automatically waters your herbs and vegetables and then alerts you when it’s time to refill the reservoir.
Smart Soil: This contains all the nutrients to keep your plants healthy and flourishing. Made from all-natural materials, the smart soil is designed to evenly distribute air, water, and nutrients directly to the roots,
Plant pods: The plant pods hold the smart soil and fit into the system’s base.
What About the Click and Grow – Smart Garden 9?
The Click and Grow 9 is very similar to the Click and Grow 3, except it can hold up to nine different plants in nine pods at a time.
Because of its size, the Smart Garden 9 is a good option for an indoor garden supporting more fruits and vegetables. But if you are satisfied with something smaller and less expensive, then the Click & Grow 3 is the way to get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Click & Grow plants last?
The lifespan of a Click & Grow plant depends on the precise type of herb or vegetable being grown. In most cases, herbs, vegetables, and flowers will grow for two to three months. A few varieties last longer, like chili peppers, which can grow for up to 21 weeks.
How often does it need water?
A full water reservoir can last for about two to three weeks or less, depending on how thirsty the type of plant you are growing is. There is a water float indicator that you can use to check the water level. If using the Click & Grow app, you’ll get a notification when the system’s tank needs a refill.
Can I make my own seed pod refills?
Yes, you can make your own seed pod refills. But note that they may not deliver results as good as pods that contain Click & Grow’s unique smart soil.
