P lant Habit & Layout

P lant Habit & Layout

Some plants are bushy, others feathery, some grow straight, others branch out.. As you plant your Garden, think about shape and growth habits of plants..You may want to put a feathery leafed plant in front where it can be seen and use the back row for plants that grow straight or bushy.. Even after you’ve planted your Garden, you can remove Grow Pods and rearrange them.. (Just be gentle with the roots!)

Horizontal Spreading

If you grow plants that have extensive branching or will spread horizontally, you may want to leave some Grow Surface Openings empty.. Example: for 3-Pod AeroGardens, plant only 1 Grow Pod for tomatoes and peppers and leave the remaining 2 Grow Surface Openings empty; for 6-Pod models, plant 3 Grow Pods and leave 3 openings empty; and for 7-Pod models, plant 3 Grow Pods and leave 4 openings empty.. This will give plants room to grow and assure they get the light they need..

Be sure to cover unplanted Grow Surface Openings to inhibit algae growth.. Our Plant Spacers are a perfect fit and can be re-used in any Garden.. Plant Spacer Kits include 6 spacers and can be purchased at www..aerogardensupport..com..

Or, choose a material that will stand up to moisture, such as aluminum foil or a plastic milk jug cap..
