What makes the Micropod unique is that it does not require any additional grow mats or media. Only seeds. This means that the ongoing refill cost of this unit will be significantly cheaper than the alternatives. This is also the only kit we offer that does not ship with seeds included, so be sure to add them separately!

What's Included

Includes MicroPod and MicroGrid
7.5”/19cm diameter, 1.5”/4cm height
All parts are made from durable and recyclable ABS
Food proof, dishwasher proof, and BPA free
Fits nicely under PlantSpectrum MicroFarm mounts and HomeForest products

Why We Love It

The MicroPod is more than just a functional garden, it's a beautifully designed statement piece. We like the fact that this unit does not require any sort of grow medium, which means that the ongoing cost per harvest will be less than other options.

Features To Know About

Does not come with seeds! You'll need to purchase these separately. Not a big deal, but it does make this item slightly less 'giftable' than some of the other options we offer

Supplies You'll Need

The MicroPod kit does not come with seeds, so be sure to include some of these with your purchase. Be careful with extremely fine/small seeds, as these can slip through the gaps in the MicroGrid and when you have organic matter (seeds) sitting around in water it can lead to the water turning foul.

Minimum ambient temperature above 19°C/66°F
Ideal average germination ambient temperature lies around 21°C/70°F
Too high temperatures (+26°C/80°F ) or low air humidity (-40%) can cause faster water evaporation.

Water

Fill MicroPod with water until you reach the indicated level. The pod’s volume is perfect for growing any plant to the microgreen stage.

Sow

MicroGrid is the first 3D structured Grid in the market. Sprinkle any type of seeds on the grid and watch the magic happen. Your harvest is ready within 7-12 days.

Eat & Repeat

No soil, hemp, or any other dirty fibers or cloth. MicroGrid is reusable over and over. Save costs and waste by harvesting infinitely with MicroPod.

Easy and perfect for the table

So easy, so simple, and looks nice on a table. makes a nice gift.

Obsessed!

This is best centerpiece I could ask for on my dining table! With a decent amount of light, I have a fresh batch of greens every 10 days. Clean up is so easy! The roots slide right out, then clean with a brush and soapy water and you're ready for another round.Pros - hydroponics system so no need to continually buy cocochoir or any other medium to grow in. Just add water. :)Cons - it could be bigger! If they designed a larger tray, I'd 100% buy it.

Works great!

I was a little skeptical of this because of some of the reviews I read. I figured I'd give it a try and return it if it didn't work since it is return eligible. I had zero issues growing micro greens. The picture is my very first try. I love this product because they don't require you to use any special kits that you have to buy separate. You only need seeds and water. So simple!
