First plants will be ready to harvest after 3 weeks of growth (e.g. Asian Greens). In most of the cases you can harvest more than once If you pluck only the outer leaves from lettuce and leave the inside, it will continue to grow. With herbs, it is best to cut off the upper shoots, which in turn are located above leaf branches. This way, new shoots can grow. If you repot your plant, you can often enjoy it for the next few months! The PlantPlugs are organic and will continue to grow in the regular soil.

In the GreenBox you can grow 8 plants at the same time. The plants grow 100% faster, so if you plan to eat big lettuce bowl every day with your family, you may not have enough. If, however, you plan to grow herbs, lettuces and add them to sandwiches, dishes or drinks, then the GreenBox will fully meet your expectations. The seedlings are strong and healthy and skillful harvesting allows you to enjoy your harvest for a long time. The GreenBox is also a great incubator for plants, which you can directly re-plant into pots once they grow big 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 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! We also offer PlantPlugs without seeds. With the 24 PlantPlugs of the Experimental Set, you can experiment with the seeds of your choice. You may also plant individually selected seeds in your GreenBox. These are available in our seed selection in both single and 4-packs.

The water tank and the inner slots for the PlantPlugs can be very easily taken out and cleaned. We carefully chose birch wood as the main material for the GreenBox as it remains beautiful and doesn’t change color even after a long time. If you wish to refresh your GreenBox after some time, it can be done in a few minutes using a bit of sanding paper - then even after a few years it will look fresh and new again!

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.
