With the GreenBox you can grow a variety of natural things: Herbs, leafy greens, microgreens, oyster mushrooms, fruits like small chilies, cherry tomatoes and mini cucumbers as well as many types of flowers! Most of them you won't find in a normal store.

The GreenBox is also suitable for growing larger plants (e.g. zucchinis), which can then be planted out.

This means you can also use them to grow seedlings.

With a light output of 12 hours a day (recommended lighting duration for optimum growth results), the average electricity consumption is around 5.4 kWh per month, which corresponds to a daily additional charge of around EUR 0.05 (as of August 2023). Shall we give you an insider tip? Use our GreenBox Tent to turn your indoor garden into a stylish lamp in the evening and reduce your ecological and financial footprint.

The components of each GreenBox that we ship are carefully packaged in a dry state and separately from each other: the wooden housing does not come into contact with water, the PlantPlugs are "unplugged" and tightly packed - and the seeds are also individually packaged separately. All this ensures a very long shelf life for the product and accessories. As long as they are stored in a dry environment, the seeds and PlantPlugs will last for at least 2 years. 

You can harvest the mushrooms after about a week, microgreens within a few days and plants (e.g. Asian herbs) just 3 weeks after sowing. With mushrooms, you can use the same substrate up to 3 times! If you only pick the outer leaves of the lettuce correctly and do not damage the core of the plant, they can continue to grow without any problems. With herbs, it is best to cut off the upper shoots above the leafy branches. This allows new shoots to grow again and again. If you repot your plants, you can even enjoy them for several months! The PlantPlugs are organic, so the plant stays healthy and continues to grow. 

You can plant 8 plants at the same time in the GreenBox. They also grow at least 100% faster than on a sunny windowsill. If you plan to eat salad with your family every day, it's probably not enough. But if you plan to grow herbs and lettuce to add flavor to sandwiches, dishes or drinks, the GreenBox will fully meet your expectations. Our seedlings are strong and healthy and, thanks to skillful harvesting, you will be able to enjoy your plants in the GreenBox for a long time.

Our microgreens come in chocolate bar format and are divided into 6 pieces. As one piece per day is equivalent to a good dose of vitamins, you'll be supplied for almost a week and it only takes up half of the GreenBox!

Our mushroom packets can yield up to 3 harvests if handled correctly.

The GreenBox is also an excellent incubator for plants, which you can then repot directly when they have grown large enough.

When you start a new set, the amount of water in the tank should be 1.5 litres. If the plants have already developed more roots, you can fill the water tank to the maximum - with a little more than 2 litres of water. In both cases the plants will be supplied for an average of 14 days. At high temperatures, the water requirement can of course increase.

The microgreens should be watered every 2 - 3 days to ensure that the cellulose base is always moist.

Mushroom packages should be sprayed 2 - 3 times a day with a spray bottle.

The housing of the GreenBox is made of birch wood from European timber forests. It is cut by a laser and then finished by hand. Each GreenBox is manually assembled, and quality checked in our Berlin workshop. Parts of the fabrication are done by Berlin's sheltered workshops, which is not only local and sustainable, but also gives us more control over the production process.

12 - 16 hours per day is the most effective lighting time for your plants. You can use the GreenBox app to set when the light should switch on and off automatically. The light temperature and intensity can also be flexibly adjusted to your mood via the app. You can also use the GreenBox as a light alarm clock and/or intelligent daylight lamp.

Turn your indoor garden into a stylish designer lamp with the GreenBox Tent!

No. The wooden housing contains a plastic tank. This in turn contains the insert with the 8 slots for the PlantPlugs. In the middle of this insert are 2 sprinkling holes for watering. The GreenBox can be filled with water using a standard indoor watering can or drinking bottle so that no water drips onto the wood.

With its 40.5 x 21 x 34 cm (W/D/H) the GreenBox fits into every home and catches everyone's attention!

Of course!

Both the water tank and the device for the PlantPlugs can be easily removed and cleaned. Both parts are also dishwasher-safe! To ensure that your GreenBox retains its clear design and does not discolor even after a long time, we have chosen high-quality birch wood as the main material. If you still want to freshen up your GreenBox after a while, this can be done in just a few minutes with some sandpaper. It will look fresh and new again even after a few years. 

Our PlantPlugs undergo a special drying process at the end of their production, in which any eggs or larvae wouldn’t survive. However if you experience any insect attack on your plants from the outside, please write us a message. We will be happy to replace your PlantPlugs.

We at BERLIN GREEN take our customers' feedback very seriously and are constantly working to improve the GreenBox so that no customer wishes remain unfulfilled :)
