Features and Functionality of the Click and Grow Smart Garden 9
The Smart Garden 9 features a reinforced ABS plastic encasement that works well to resist all sorts of moisture and heat damage. Its plant bed, consisting of 9 receptacles, accepts Click and Grow brand plant pods that sit inside the little recesses. Underneath, the belly of the kit conceals a water bed that touches the base of the pods and provides fertilized water for the plants to grow and thrive.
Above the indoor garden, an overhanging light – designed to look like a handle – shines heat and brightness over the growth. But unlike other indoor gardens, the Smart Garden 9 uses a set of professional plant growing lights to provide your herbs and produce substantial heat to meet their cultivation requirements.
Each Smart Garden 9 comes with a set of three pods to help you get started on your growing project. If you find that you want to add a few more plants to your indoor garden, the brand offers over 40 different plant pod types (including flowers) to expand your garden variety. Free of GMO’s, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, the Click and Grow brand promises healthy, natural growth perfect for sumptuous home cooked meals.
Are there any downsides? Well, while we definitely appreciate the intuitive and effortless Smart Garden 9 design, this Click and Grow review did find a few small negatives. You’ll notice that this model doesn’t feature a height adjustment for the lamps, despite coming at a steeper cost than some other Click and Grow models that offer that obvious feature.
Another thing is that with 9 plants growing, the water reservoir’s capacity might not be enough to see your plants through a week of their nutritional needs. Expect frequent refills as your plants reach maximum size. And lastly, the pods aren’t cheap, and you can only get them in sets of three without the option to mix up what’s included in the bundle.
The Click and Grow Smart Garden 9 provides you ample space to grow a wide variety of plants, and boasts an effortless design that grows your plants for you. All you need to do is add water, sit back, and watch your harvest bloom.
