Click and Grow & Smart Garden 3 Basil Plant Pod, White SGS1US

Love this, it's literally just assemble and forget about it! The pods included were for basil and they started growing within a couple of weeks of set up. I also ordered Holy Basil that started growing around the same time. I'm currently waiting on the experimental pod to sprout but that may be a seed issue more than a product issue and that can't be blamed on this product. Definitely recommend it as a gift for a plant lover in your life or as a treat for yourself if you're looking for a quick and easy way to bring some greenery or healthier choices into your life!

I bought this a few months ago and waited to get a full experience before I gave my feedback. Overall, it's not bad. My initial reasoning for purchasing the Click & Grow garden was because of the lack of sufficient light in my work office. So far I have grown Sweet Allyssums which grew rather fast. I saw sprouts in a matter of 2-3 days. It was really exciting to watch these little guys grow. I am now considering on transplanting them so I can start growing some herbs. I've noticed that over time the 'smart' soil gets a bit moldy from the moisture. I'm not sure if this is just an issue that I'm solely encountering or if this is an issue shared by others. Either way, it hasn't seemed to really affect the growth of the plant. (Sweet Alyssums) The App is okay. It's not necessary and is more supplemental to the Click and Grow than anything. It is helpful for reminding you when to water the garden and giving helpful little tips. You can also use it to track the growth of your plants with it's provided camera app and gallery. But when all is said and done, you could go without it. The garden isn't smart as far using digital technology, the app doesn't control the garden. The garden simply sustains itself with the water tank and the lamp. Taking care of the garden is pretty manageable. The tank will need to be refilled about every two weeks and the app will remind you when to water the plants. The lamp that helps grow the plants is on it's own timer, which can only be set when you plug in the garden. It would be nice to set a specific time on when the lamp turns on. The timer resets when you unplug it the garden and then will restart the cycle when you plug it back in. Overall it's been a great experience and I'm looking forward to growing more herbs and plants.

This product is basically perfect. The design of it looks wonderful in my kitchen. The packaging is clean-lined and clever. Assembly is easy as pie and then everyday i get to watch my sweet little seedlings get a little bigger. No complaints at all except that i wish i had space for many, many more units :) My boyfriend teaches Grade 2 and he is planning to buy a few units for his classroom - so brilliant for children. We couldn't be happier with Click & Grow!

My household which is just me owns several of these click and grow planters and I love them! I stand by this brand for the attractiveness of their product and ease of use.

This is a well built product that looks great in any space. The product should not be considered a 'smart' product - the light is on a 16 hour timer and that's it. No ability to adjust the timer or monitor anything about the planter. The lights are very bright and a harsh white colour and are not visually attractive in the dark. We moved ours to a spare bedroom to avoid the light pollution. You can extend the life of the pods and plants that come with the planter by adding a few drops of liquid fertilizer to the water reservoir when refilling water. Also, there is no need to buy the plant refill pods. Just pack the plastic cup with peat moss or potting soil and sew your own seeds. Be sure to fertilize your DIY pods with liquid fertilizer in the water too. Overall an interesting product, but certainly nothing ground breaking or smart.
