If you grow culinary plants, it is important to continu-
ally harvest to keep plants healthy and productive.
Here are some general guidelines for harvesting plants
grown in an AeroGarden .
•
Do not remove more than a third of leaves or
stems from any one plant at a time .
•
Harvest just before using for best flavor .
•
Remove ripe fruit .
•
As you harvest, try to keep plants at about the
same height so they all receive enough light .
•
After harvesting, lower light(s), if necessary .
How to harvest each plant depends on plant’s structure
and growth . Here are some general guidelines for some
common plant types .
Leafy Greens
(such as lettuce varieties)
•
Remove entire leaves by
cutting at base of the leaf .
•
To ensure healthy new
growth, do not harvest all
the leaves from any one
Grow Pod . For continuous
harvesting, we suggest you
never harvest more than
1/3 of a plant at any time .
