Imagine a garden with a colorful variety of flowers and buzzing bees flying from blossom to blossom. The air is filled with the sweet scent of lavender mingling with the earthy aroma of moist soil. The sound of birdsong and rustling leaves fills your ears. This is what spring could look like, after a seemingly endless winter.... Luckily, you can create your own "mini spring" at home with your plants and flowers.
The best growing station for all your planting needs
But bringing spring to your balcony and windowsill isn't always so easy, as many things can go wrong, such as not enough sunlight at home or not enough space to grow seedlings. Watering can also be tricky - especially during seasonal changes - or when you want to give your green companions the right amount of water. And how can you make sure those newborn green babies get the nutrients they really need? If only you had a reliable growing station to make everything easier....
You actually have one! The GreenBox mimics the natural sunlight your plants need, uses a special substrate mix (more on that later), and best of all? You only have to water it once every 2-3 weeks and that's it. Really.
How to make a plant from your seed: a step by step guide
But how do you actually grow plants in the GreenBox? BERLIN GREEN has a step-by-step guide ready for you:
1. get the pre-cleaned greenbox ready and connect it to the power.
2. Choose your seeds, e.g. mini cucumbers.
3. insert our PlantPlugs.
Place the seeds in the perforations provided in the PlantPlugs.
5. Fill up the water reservoir and add a capful of our liquid fertilizer (optional, for that extra boost).
6. Then you can put on the U-plates (prevents algae growth) and germination caps (keeps humidity).
7. after 2 - 3 weeks the plants have reached a suitable size for repotting.
And by the way: If you are unsure with which seeds to start, our store offers over 40 different seedsall of which are guaranteed to grow. And yes, we make it easy for you :)
"They grow so fast..." What to do when your favorites are ready for transplanting?
After 2-4 weeks, your green favorites will be ready to be repotted and moved to a new home. And we already have a great destination in mind. Clay PlantPots are an excellent choice for plant owners. They are porous, which allows air and moisture to reach the roots and maintain a healthy root system. PlantPots are also heavy and sturdy, which prevents tipping over, making a mess, and damaging your plants. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different plants and decorating styles, are environmentally friendly and durable.
PlantPots come with a lightweight, peat-free and toxin-free soil mix that is ideal for retaining and gradually releasing water and nutrients. The addition of coconut fiber increases air permeability, which roots love. Plus, the soil is enriched with minerals to feed your plants for the first six weeks. After that, fertilizing is recommended for an extra boost. PlantPots and their accompanying soil mix make it easy for plant owners to create a healthy and thriving environment for their plants without worrying about which soil mix is right or lugging heavy bags of soil.
From the greenbox to the pot: a guide
Moving can be difficult, right? Not when BERLIN GREEN has your back. The PlantPlugs we use retain their shape even after weeks of use, so think of it as a simple (new) plug-and-play endeavor. Here's what you need to know as our green apprentice: your PlantPots and label them with the Magic Pen (optional).
- Sets the enclosed filter paper in the bottom of the pot (keeps the soil in the pot and still allows drainage).
- Fill the pot with soil (about 5 cm high).
- Remove the U tiles from the seedlings in the greenbox.
- Carefully pull the seedling out of the PlantPlug insert and place it in the prepared pot.
- Fill the soil to the side, to just above the edge of the PlantPlug.
- Press on the soil and refill as needed.
- Finally, you can pour it carefully until the water comes out in the saucer
- Actually, the nutrients of our peat-free soil are enough for the first 6 weeks, but for the extra boost you can add 1x cap of our liquid fertilizer to the watering water.
- Put the pot in a bright place and water it regularly.
