9 GOLDEN RULES FOR A BEAUTIFUL GROWTH
A little mold and algae never hurt anyone.
We’ve created the best possible environment for
your plants. Because of this, it’s difficult to blame algae or small mushrooms that decide to settle
in your pod or on your floaters. Do not panic, they don’t harm your plants and won’t affect the quality
of your harvests. To clean the algae off the floaters, use a sponge and some soap.
Not all plants have the same light necessities.
Your plants have different needs in terms of
light cycle and intensity (check out the growing guide that comes with every pod or our app to find
out more). These lil’ fellas also need a good night’s rest, so avoid leaving Lilo on at night and let
them follow the natural day cycle.
If your plants have different needs in terms of light, always choose “spring” mode.
In
general, if you have two plants under the same lamp that don’t have the same light needs, you’re
better off choosing the softer mode.
Some plants are a tad slow.
Do not be surprised when your Basil is already reaching for the
sky while your Mint hasn’t even had its first leaves yet. Some plants can take up to 3 weeks to
germinate. However, if nothing has sprouted after 4 to 5 weeks, it’s time to send us a photo of your
pod (via the app or [email protected]).
Not too close, not too far.
5cm between your tallest plant and the light would be ideal. Too
close means that the leaves will burn, too far will cause them to lose energy and they will stop
growing.
Insects do love plants, and this is how to get rid of them!
In general, a bit of sand or clay
sprinkled onto the pod’s surface will keep flies away. For insects found on leaves, try spraying the
latter with a soft soap and room temperature water mixture (5ml to 100ml ratio). While doing so,
take your plant aside.
Your indoor garden is autonomous.
But not your plants! Take care of them. Chives need a good
cut from time to time and Basil hates it when you tear his leaves away. Mini-tomatoes like to be
ruffled and Mint needs to be harvested frequently. Each plant has its peculiarities, learn to tame
them by reading the growing guides coming with each pod or the tips in the Prêt à Pousser app.
