Imagine a garden with a colorful variety of flowers and buzzing bees flying from flower to flower. The air is filled with the sweet scent of lavender, which mixes with the earthy aroma of damp earth. 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 nursery for all your planting needs
But bringing spring to your balcony and windowsill isn't always that easy, as many things can go wrong, such as not getting enough sunlight at home or not having enough space to raise seedlings. Watering can also get tricky—especially during seasonal change—or if you want to give your green companions the right amount of water. And how can you make sure that the newborn green babies get the nutrients they really need? If only you had a reliable grow station that would make everything easier for you...
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 need to water them once every 2-3 weeks and that's it. Yes, 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. Have the pre-cleaned green box ready and connect it to the power supply.
2.Choose your seeds, such as mini cucumbers.
3. Use our PlantPlugs.
4. Place the seeds in the perforations provided in the PlantPlugs.
5. Fill up the water reservoir and add a cap of our liquid fertilizer (optional, for the extra boost).
6. Then you can put on the U-plates (prevents algae growth) and germination caps (keeps the humidity).
7. After 2 - 3 weeks, the plants have reached a suitable size for repotting.
And by the way, if you're unsure which seeds to start with, our shop offers over 40 different seeds, all of which are guaranteed to grow. And yes, we'll make it easy for you :)
"They grow so fast..." What to do when your darlings are ready for transplanting?
After 2-4 weeks, your green darlings are ready to be repotted and moved to a new home. And we already have a great goal in mind. PlantPots made of clay 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. The PlantPots are also heavy and stable, which prevents them from tipping over, messing and damaging your plants. They come in different shapes and sizes suitable for different plants and decoration styles, are eco-friendly and durable.
The PlantPots come with a light, peat-free and pollutant-free soil mix, which is ideal for retaining water and nutrients and releasing them gradually. The addition of coco coir increases air permeability, which roots love. Plus, the soil is enriched with minerals to nourish your plants for the first six weeks. After that, fertilization is recommended for an extra boost. The PlantPots and their accompanying soil mix make it easy for plant owners to create a healthy and thriving environment for their plants without having to worry about which soil mix is right or lugging heavy bags full of soil.
From the green box to the pot: A guide
Moving can be difficult, right? Not if BERLIN GREEN supports you. The PlantPlugs we use retain their shape even after weeks of use, so think of it as a simple (new) plug-and-go endeavor. Here's what you need to know as our green apprentice: your PlantPots and labeled with the Magic Pen (optional)
- Put the included filter paper at 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 green box.
- Carefully pull the seedling out of the PlantPlug insert and place it in the prepared pot.
- Fill the soil sideways, until just above the edge of the PlantPlug.
- Press down on the soil and refill if necessary.
- Finally, you can water it carefully until the water in the saucer comes out
- 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 irrigation water.
- Place the pot in a bright place and water it regularly.
