insert cutting 1/3 to 1/2 of its
length into Grow Sponge .
•
Carefully push Grow Sponge

Pod Label and into Split-Apart
Basket.
•
Insert assembled Grow Pod
into Grow Surface Opening
(see page 13 for instructions) .
•
Repeat above steps with each
cutting and Grow Pod .
With all Grow Pods placed in Grow Surface…
•
Completely cover Grow Pods using a clear plastic bag
(1-gallon size), or plastic container(s) to maintain
high humidity levels . Cover all plants in groups or
individually – just be sure each Grow Pod is covered .
Mist cuttings with water once or twice daily to maintain
humidity levels .
•
Do not add nutrient tablets until you see roots extend
from bottom of Grow Sponges . Once roots extend from
Grow Sponges, start adding nutrients (see pages 14-15
for feeding recommendations) .
•
Plants are sensitive to pH levels . To eliminate potential
concerns regarding pH levels, we recommend using
distilled water UNTIL you begin adding nutrients .
•
Continue to monitor cuttings and water level in Bowl .
Within a few weeks you should start to see roots extend
from the Grow Sponges.
•
Check cuttings regularly and remove any unhealthy
(rotten or dried up) plants . Use these plants as a guide
to determine if the growing environment is too moist
or too dry .
