Why wait for the perfect weather to have a great gardening day? Meet the AeroGarden Sprout, a hydroponic garden that grows up to 3 of your favorite herbs, veggies, or flowers year-round - no sun, soil, or green thumb required. The indoor garden's grow light hood contains 10W of white, red, and blue LED lights, giving your plants the full spectrum of light they need to grow quickly - up to 5x faster than in soil. The Sprout is compact and adjusts for up to 10" of grow height. The automated timer makes sure the lights go on and off at exactly the right time, and the soft-touch button on the grow light hood lets you manually control light and reset plant food reminders. The AeroGarden Sprout looks great anywhere - kitchen, office, you name it. Not to mention, the Gourmet Herbs Seed Pod Kit, featuring Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, and Dill, lets you keep the fresh flavors of summer all year long.
- Faster Yields: Sprouts in days, harvest in weeks, enjoy for months!

Q: Can I grow mighty mini cherry tomatoes in this system
A: Yes, the Mighty Mini Cherry Tomatoes do very well in the Sprout Aerogarden.
Q: Can I use my own seedlings, or does it need to be the pods?
A: You can grow anything you want, but you would need their pods for it to work correctly. They sell pod kits where you can plant your own seeds in them, or they sell pod kits with seeds already included.
A: You add water to the reservoir and there is a pump in the unit that periodically stirs up the water. Once the plants start growing, they go through quite a bit of water. I have to add water every day.
Q: Can you transplant after started?
A: Yes, we even have Seed Starting Systems specifically for people who want to transplant their plants into a larger garden. Please visit our website to find more information about our Seed Starting Systems, and please reach out to our Customer Service Team for instructions for transplanting.
Q: Will this increase my electricity bill?
A: Let's get real - these days, it's important to have an understanding of how much energy you use. It's the responsible thing to do! We take pride in the low amounts of energy that AeroGardens use. Read on, we did the math for you! To calculate how much energy an AeroGarden uses, we use the following formula: -- The number of hours each day that your AeroGarden is on (based on type of garden planted and AeroGarden type itself), multiplied by -- The wattage figure given above for your model AeroGarden (divided by 1000 to convert it to kilowatts, as used by the electric company), multiplied by -- 31 days a month, multiplied by -- The cost per kilowatt hour charged by your utility (in this case $.11 kw/hour) For example, in a cubicle in one of our office at AeroGrow we are growing Gourmet Herbs (on 17 hours a day) in an AeroGarden Bounty (which uses 48 watts, or 0.048 kilowatts, of power). This AeroGarden is on for 31 days a month, at an average utility rate of approximately $0.11 per kilowatt hour of electricity. AeroGarden Model Wattage Used (Average) Cost to Run Per Month at 11¢ Per kw/hour AeroGarden Farm 126 watts $7.30 per month AeroGarden Bounty 48 watts $2.78 per month AeroGarden Harvest 23 watts $1.33 per month AeroGarden Sprout 13 watts $0.75 per month
Q: Can you grow lettuce in this Aerogarden or only Herbs?
A: You can grow Lettuce wonderfully in the Sprout model of Aerogarden. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team with any further questions or concerns.
Q: I understand pod kits are needed to use your own seeds. I'm new to this: are pod kits reusable?
A: We don't recommend re-using our seed pod kits. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team on the Aerogarden website with any further questions or concerns.
