What if I see bugs?
Although leafy green plants are rarely attacked by
bugs, it is good to know what to do just in case.
If you see bugs, they probably found their way into
your home by hitching a ride on clothing or cut
flowers. They are clever about hiding under leaves
and in the joints between leaves and plant stems, so
they can be difficult to see at first.
Initial signs that you have bugs are either your
plants look unhealthy or you may see a sticky
substance on your AeroGarden’s Grow Surface.
This is the easiest way we’ve found to get rid of bugs:
Unplug AeroGarden and remove the Bowl from
the Base.
Carefully lift entire Seed Pod and plant out of
the Grow Surface.
Turn plant upside down in a sink and gently run
room temperature water over the underside of
leaves to rinse bugs off.
Check your plant for any remaining bugs – rinse
again if necessary – and then return plant and
Seed Pod to the AeroGarden.
Check all surrounding plants to make sure bugs
haven’t spread. If they have, follow the above
steps with any other buggy plants.
Replace Bowl on Base and plug in AeroGarden.
How do I take care of my Garden when I go out
of town?
Add water to raise the level up to “Fill To Here.” A
newly planted Garden with Domes removed may
not need care for up to 2 weeks. However, if your
Garden is mature and you will be out of town
