What Growly owners say.

4.9 · 384 verified reviews · 96% recommend

  • "I come down in the morning and they've already sprouted. Our kid waters them now and won't let me near it - it's their job."

  • "Honestly, I worried about the electricity. It's 18W, about the same as a light bulb. Now my dinner salad comes off the countertop."

  • "I haven't bought supermarket lettuce in about two months. It grows five centimetres a week, you kind of have to cut it."

How long do plants take to grow?

Most plants start growing in 2–7 days. Herbs and greens reach maturity in 4–6 weeks. Fruiting plants can take up to 2 weeks to sprout. If the seeds haven't germinated in 3 weeks, contact our support team.

Where do I buy capsules and nutrients?

New pre-seeded capsules and nutrients are right here on the site, with a wide range of herbs, flowers and greens - order them with your next box. And after your first harvest, the biodegradable capsules can safely go into the soil - they're inoculated with micronutrients and beneficial bacteria, so they actually do the ground some good.

Can I use my own seeds?

Yes - we launched the "Grow anything" capsules for the curious. Plant your own seeds in the biodegradable capsules following the pack instructions. The germination medium - extra oxygen, water and nutrients - gives them a good start, though we can't guarantee results.
