What to do if my seedlings' roots aren't visible?Updated 2 years ago

In order to grow in the Airgarden, plants' roots need to be able to access the water and nutrients being circulated throughout the system. As such, they must be visible to the eye before being transferred to the Airgarden.

When you buy ready-to-plant seedlings we want to strike the balance between getting you your seedlings ASAP so you can start growing, and ensuring that all of them are 100% ready to go. 

As such, when your seedlings arrive, some of them may need a little bit more time to grow before you plant them in your Airgarden. If they do, here's what to do.

  1. 1. Transfer seedlings into the base of your propagation kit or a tupperware container. Make sure you TAKE THE LID OFF your propagation kit.
  2. Place seedlings in direct sun for 3-4 hours per day
  3. When grow plugs dry out / turn light brown , add water and nutrients
    • Using a measuring dropper add 1ml of Part 1 and 1ml of Part 2 Airgarden nutrient solution to 1 litre of water
    • Add the water/nutrients mixture to seedlings as required - you can either dip the grow plugs into the water, or pour it into the top
  4. Continue to put in sunlight and add water/nutrients when required until roots have sprouted
  5. When roots have sprouted you can move these seedlings into your Airgarden
