Root Pouches - Fabric Pots

Root Pouches are degradable fabric plant pots made from 100% recycled materials and are washable, durable and reusable. The insulated material keeps out the winter cold but allows roots to cool in the summer. Both air and water can pass through the material freely, allowing the roots to breathe and take up oxygen efficiently.

Even if you don’t have space on the kitchen windowsill or you never remember about watering the plants, with Plant!t Herb Garden - a handy all-in-one self-watering system - this is not an issue anymore. You can grow your favourite herbs and fresh lettuces in your home without even thinking about it. This intelligent system will look after your plants by auto-watering them and taking the exact amount of nutrients your plant requires. So, you can relax and enjoy fresh herbs and vegetables every day!

Plants will receive supplemental light with a built-in full spectrum LED grow light with boost setting. This will alternate through phases of white and purple light to provide an optimal light cycle for all stages of plant growth and development. The LED can also be dimmed if it is not suitable for your living space. The planting pot can be removed from the lighting stand when potting up or harvesting your plants. It also allows for easy cleaning before starting with new plants.

Vegebag

Always wanted to grow your own veggies, but didn’t know how to start? We’ve got you covered! With Vegebag you can plant your own tomatoes, broccoli or eggplants – it’s so easy and require as little as access to the sun (around 6 hours) and water. That’s it! Vegepod’s signature self-watering reservoirs have been customised for the Vegebag. Holding 6 litres of water the unique wicking cell reduces watering by up to 80%. Vegetables are watered from their roots up with soil nutrients being sucked up into the root system rather than washed from the bag, as most traditional pot plants do.
The mesh encases the Vegebag providing amazing growth rates as well as protecting against wildlife, pets, pests, bugs and inclement weather. Simply pop the bag open and place the wicking cell in the bottom of the Vegebag then fill the bottom section with a good quality compost (80 litres) and plant your veg. Make sure your Vegebag has adequate sun (we suggest 6 hours) and is watered in the absence of rain.
