While we encourage you to try growing a variety of
plant types in your AeroGarden, there are a few that
will not do well in an aeroponic system .
Subterranean plants, such as carrots,
beets, potatoes or peanuts should
not be planted in an AeroGarden .
In addition, plants that require
very dry conditions and have
very low water requirements,
such as cactus and succulents, will
not thrive in an AeroGarden .
SELECTING PLANTS
The following guidelines will help you plant and
grow a thriving indoor garden. Take the time to plan
your Garden and you’ll reap the rewards of healthy
plants and bountiful harvests .
P
lant Height
The maximum height of most
AeroGarden Lamp Hoods is 12”
from the Grow Surface (24” for
Deluxe, PRO 200 and AeroGarden
6 Elite + models). It is important
to select plants that will not
grow taller than this – or to
choose plants that can be
pruned to stay within this
height restriction, such as basil .
12”
When choosing seeds, look for dwarf
or miniature varieties.
