GreenBox Plus

Yes, it is possible to grow the plants in the GreenBox Plus right from the start. However, our recommendation is to use the standard GreenBox to grow larger plants in the regular GreenBox first and then repot them in the GreenBox Plus.

Why? This variant is significantly more energy-efficient, as the plants grow faster in their first growth phase and can then be repotted in the GreenBox Plus. A nice side effect is the natural cycle that is created. Repotting is very easy and is demonstrated in the video above.

The Standard GreenBox is best suited for: Microgreens, mushrooms, seedlings of larger plants that will later be repotted into the GreenBox Plus, salads, dwarf plants such as dwarf chillies or dwarf sunflowers and herbs that are harvested regularly.

The GreenBox Plus is best suited for: all larger plants such as vegetables and fruit (e.g. Physalis, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, mini cucumbers, various types of chili), medicinal and culinary herbs that can then grow higher, plants that will soon be legal to grow in Germany, flowers such as larger sunflowers and climbing petunias, and much more

If you want to optimize your yield, we recommend growing the strong seedlings in the regular GreenBox and then transferring the plants to the large GreenBox Plus. After reaching the growth height, the seedlings can be repotted in the GreenBox Plus together with the water tank within a few minutes.

Our GreenBox Endless Spring Duo Bundle is ideal for this purpose at an affordable bundle price.

Optimal lighting is ensured by the settings in the app. We recommend the "100% growth" setting.

A constant supply of minerals should be guaranteed. We recommend adding one cap of our GreenBox booster (already included in the package) per 1.5 - 2 liters of irrigation water. The GreenBox indicates a low water level by gently flashing.

With a light output of 12 hours per day (recommended lighting duration for optimum growth results), the average power consumption of the GreenBox Plus is around 9.0 kWh per month, which corresponds to a daily additional load of around EUR 0.09 (as of December 2023).

The maximum output power of the LED lights is 45 watts, which corresponds to approx. 15-20,000 lux.

Should we give you an insider tip? Use our GreenBox Tent to transform 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 kept in a dry environment, the seeds and PlantPlugs will last for at least 2 years. So you don't have to worry about whether your "green gift" will last until the holidays :)

With the GreenBox Plus, you are ready to make a statement. The larger Smart Indoor Garden can be placed anywhere, even in places without sunlight. It measures 40.6 x 20.8 x 83.4 centimetres and should be placed near the power socket.

When you start a new set, the amount of water in the tank should be 1.5 liters. If the plants have already developed more roots, you can fill the water tank to the maximum - with a little more than 2 liters of water. In both cases, the plants will be supplied with water 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 forests. It is cut by laser and finished by hand. Each GreenBox is assembled by hand in our Berlin workshop and checked for quality. Part of our production process is carried out by the Berlin workshops for the disabled.

12 - 16 hours per day is the most effective lighting duration 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.

With the GreenBox Tent, you can turn your indoor garden into a stylish designer lamp

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 spout 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.

Naturally! We also offer PlantPlugs without seeds. You can also let off steam with the seeds of your choice in our 24-pack Experimental Set. Individual seeds in single or 4-packs are also available in our store.

Both the water tank and the device for the PlantPlugs can be easily removed and cleaned. We have chosen high-quality birch wood as the main material to ensure that your GreenBox retains its clear design and does not discolor even after a long time. If you still want to freshen up your GreenBox after a while, this can be done in just a few minutes with some sandpaper. Then 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 no larvae or eggs would survive. However, should an external insect infestation occur, please contact us via our customer service. We will give you a few tips or replace the PlantPlugs if necessary.
