inbloom Hydroponics Growing System 12 Pods, Indoor Herb Garden with LEDs Full-Spectrum Plant Grow Light, Water Shortage Alarm, Automatic Timer, Height Adjustable, Ideal Gardening Gifts for Women

The set up looks pretty on my kitchen counter. I followed instructions and my lettuce seeds germinated in only 3 days! I am super excited cited to watch the growth of the plants daily. Works great and I will have fresh, organic lettuce without the worry of any pesticides or bacteria making my family sick. Highly recommend!

I love this little grow system! I’ve been dedicating more time to cooking lately and like to use fresh herbs. I’m an avid houseplant keeper, and figured I’d try my hand at growing edible plants indoors since the weather is cooling off. I ordered this as part of prime’s deal days or whatever it was called that took place at the beginning of October. Setup was very straightforward and quick. I really like that the light has an adjustable height. The instructions do say that they recommend you grow the same thing in all of the ports….but I’ve never been one to follow all the rules lol. I have a different plant in each port, which may or may not backfire with differing grow rates and light needs. The instructions also say you’re supposed to change the water weekly, but I’m planning on changing it once per month and will adjust as needed. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase. The light is strong- I have this sitting in an area that doesn’t get much natural light and yet the plants are growing so well. It doesn’t take up too much space and looks like it will last me a long time. I’d definitely recommend this if you’re interested in taking your first steps into hydroponics without having to make too much of an investment or buying a bunch of supplies.

So where do I start. First of all I have no green thumb whatsoever, I’ve killed a cactus okay let’s get real here. I’ve been wanting to grow a garden at home but either wild life gets to my seedlings or I’m just to involved in my own life that I forget to take care of them so there’s that. The ladies I work with have their own hydroponic systems in their office and told me to get one and try it out. So here I was looking on Amazon searching high and low reading reviews etc. I came across this company, InBloom, and honestly what caught my eye was the super adorable rounded design of the whole system and the nice wood accent at the bottom with white and black color options, also couldn’t beat the price. So I placed my order and sat around staring out the window when it’ll be delivered, okay not really but I’m sure yall can relate. The day finally came I unboxed it all and it was super easy to put together mix all the plant food. It was great it came in with everything but the seeds, no biggie. So the pictures you see within a couple of days my seeds popped greenies, then within a week I had plants, then another week they grew taller the last few pics you see is all within a week they shot up so quickly I had to raise the light, yes it goes up and down! The buttons are easy to read and I just pushed the power on button and pressed vegetables setting and off these little seedlings went. Also I have to say the silent pump is awesome, it threw me in for a loop at first because I didn’t know it was working as you can’t hear it. Overall I am so satisfied with this product and also their customer service is on point! I was having issues registering my product warranty and they were like no problem send us your screen shot of order and email phone number and we got you covered. So needless to say I am DEFINITELY purchasing from inbloom and probably going to get another hydroponic set up from them! 5 stars all day!

I bought this hydroponic system because of the number of pods that it had and I liked its tank design. At first, I thought that the unit does not include seeds was inconvenient but being able to pick your own seeds allows for more customization and selection of high-quality brands. The unit is not difficult to use. I can't compare it with other hydroponic systems, because I haven't used them. Pros: The unit is low-maintenance. Good space between pods. Large water tank. Can double as a large night light. Cons: The lights are very bright, and those bright lights are on for 16 hours. I put the unit by a window, but the temperature in that area still feels a little hotter. The water gauge doesn't work. It's supposed to bob to show where the water level is, but it doesn't. The gauge sticks in its tube, so you have to use other methods to check how much water you have. This needs to be improved upon. I only knew the water tank was low when I heard the water pump get louder, otherwise I wouldn't have known that I needed to visually check the tank. This is my first system, so I didn't know how quickly water is taken up by growing plants. Other than that, with good seeds and good water, plants grow well. Another reviewer pointed out that because the lights in the 10-pod unit cannot lower flush to the tank, plants may become more "leggy", with long stems between leaf clusters. I suspect that this may be the case. Having the ability to lower the light fixture to right above the water tank and seedlings would be a good feature to look for. All in all, an uncomplicated, low-feature hydroponic system that has been easy to set up and use but could use a couple of design improvements.

If you knew me, you would be impressed. I cannot grow anything (or keep it alive). On a whim, I decided I wanted an Aerogarden. Then I looked at the price - ouch, a little more than I wanted to spend on a whim. I literally ONLY bought this particular hydroponic garden system for 3 reasons: 1) The black and wood look match my camper, which is where I want to use it; 2) It held 12 pods, which seemed a better option than holding less; 3) The price fit my "whim" and wouldn't cause me to cry if I didn't end up trying to grow things. I ended up purchasing 2 of them (as you see in the photos) and may now be getting a 3rd. Everything you see growing is also from the inbloom plant kits (passion salsa and the salad kits). I have lettuce, chard, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, chili peppers, green/yellow/purple peppers, wild cabbage, and 4 other things started that I can't recall off the top of my head. I put all the seeds into the unit on 5/30/25 to germinate. The first pic, dated 6/8 shows how fast everything started up and popped some of their little hats. Then I have 6/14 and 6/22 pics, just because I happened to take them and could share. None of peppers, or the spinach have germinated though, so likely a seed thing, grrrrr. Anyhow the pump is quite, the lights are working and doing their weird cycles, and the water level bobber thing are very helpful. It is easy to top of your water with the front access hole, cap off unused pods spots with the provided covers, and adjust the light up and down as your plants grow. I have sampled my lettuces and they taste great, and I am now even watching the pH and EC of my water. I am really impressed by these little units, though I have nothing to compare them to help you there. The black is nice, just plastic as you would expect. The bottom "wood" look is a bit more yellowy than I like, and is obviously NOT wood, but it keeps it from being boring. All components are pretty easy to clean as well. Very excited for my new hobby and the chance to throw away less produce than I have been lately. Not sure how feeding myself on this volume could ever be realistic, BUT you have to start somewhere!

This garden is great! I actually bought two! Your plants will grow fairly quickly. I had huge lettuce and basil plants within a few months Once they start getting really big, you do have to refill the water tank A LOT! And if you forget and the level gets too low, it will beep loudly literally nonstop until you fill it back up, which is super annoying. The lights an also very bright. If I had to sleep anywhere near it, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand the lights on this. Other than that, great product and very easy to use.

This hydroponic setup is literally the easiest and most functional compact gardening solution I have ever heard of, let alone bought for less than $100! I’ve always struggled with gardening because I inevitably get the soil balance wrong, mess up the watering schedule or just generally have no idea what I’m doing. But not with the Inbloom! I managed to grow a decent stock of oregano, some really nice parsley and cilantro, and a truly monstrous amount of basil. The light is pretty bright, so be sure not to leave it near anything that could be damaged by UV exposure. The pump is surprisingly quiet, though nose sensitive people will still notice it. (It’s easily blocked out by pretty much any set of headphones on a low volume.) I got the largest model and it’s the perfect size to sit on a 50 inch desk next to my computer. Thus far I haven’t had any trouble with needing to replace parts, etc. – in fact it seems pretty sturdy!

This seller is an absolute nightmare! I ordered this unit to replace a different brand I'd received as a gift which was missing instructions and damaged as I liked the idea of growing fresh herbs inside. I was excited to receive it so promptly unboxed and set it up using the instructions provided. Nothing happened, nothing grew so went back to the instructions and started over again. In doing so I discovered that the instructions actually included two very different sets of instructions, one contradicting the other but did my best trying to figure it out. Cleaned out the unit, disposed of the old accessories and started over again with new seeds. Nothing happened, nothing grew. I contacted Amazon customer support and the "product expert" kept contradicting herself which I commented on. Turns out she was reading the manufacturers contradicting instructions. In addition, by her own admission, she had never used this or any other hydroponic system so the instructions she eventually gave me were for planting in dirt, not the same concept at all! I asked her to provide me with seller information so I could contact them. She transfered me, however I was disconnected half way thru my explanation of my experience with this unit. I then received an email from Amazon with the seller information. I tried twice to call them with the number provided, it was answered by a message in a foreign language with no option for English. I then contacted Amazon again who offered to send a message for me to the seller via Amazon's message center. I shortly received a response which did not answer all of my questions and instead provided a complete set of instructions which contradicted both of the included sets of instructions. In the meantime I received a lengthy text from the sellers Customer Support Team. Again, not all of my questions were answered and instead I was provided yet another set of instructions that contradicted the included written and messaged instructions. This continued with me receiving 4 texts and 5 messages over the course of a week, all with different contradictory instructions. Some examples of the contradictions from the texts and messages are; (1)Soak the sponges for 6 hours, soak them for 2 hours, soak them for 5 minutes, don't soak them at all, (2) For germination the seeds need to be placed in a warm (75-85 degree), dark environment with airflow, the seeds don't have any temp requirements, the environment doesn't need to be dark but should not have any direct sunlight, the seeds need sunlight to germinate, the pump in the unit should be turned on, it should be turned off, the lights on the unit should be turned off, the lights should be turned on, the unit should be filled with water during germination, the unit should be filled with a limited amount of water, the unit does not require water during germination, the A & B nutrients should be mixed with water per the bottles instructions and added to the water for germination, the A & B nutrients should be mixed with water but added in a reduced amount for germination, the A & B nutrients should be added dry to water in the unit, no nutrient is necessary for germination. This is only a few examples of all the contradictions. The worst part is they never answer all of my questions but instead offer these contradictory instructions. I give up!!! Per the last Amazon rep I've spoken to to voice my frustration with this company, he recomended returning the unit to the seller. This is what I did yesterday. I hope this is the end of this as I am very frustrated with this company. How do they expect first time users of Hydroponic systems to figure out how to use this unit if they cannot provide clear consistent information? There are a lot of sellers of hydroponic systems on Amazon, my advice to you, select any other seller than this company! What a waste of time, money (I purchased seeds twice and sponges twice) and energy!

I have enjoyed growing lettuce and dwarf tomatoes in this. Found it so effective bought a second one

Prodotto assolutamente da evitare! Ho provato a coltivare diverse varietà di vegetali con risultati pessimi. Le illustrazioni del prodotto sono ingannevoli. Dopo 2 mesi non posso nemmeno restituire il prodotto.

Can’t switch it on yet because it’s not a British 3 pin plug. Everything else looks very nice.

Fonctionne vrm très bien

Not had a chance to use the machine because it came only with a US plug, which I believe is a breach of the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1987.
