Effortless Seedling Propagation
 System Included!

Know Your Plants;
It All Begins With The Seed.
Thousands of tiny pepper seeds.

Seeds are the basis for all plant life. Ingrained in every seed shell, is a tiny seed embryo. It contains essentially a tiny version of a full grown plant. It has a small root, stem/stalk and a set of small leaves. Everything it needs to start it's life on earth as a plant.

The Seedling Stage

The seedlings use gravity to direct and orient itself. It positions the root tip in a downward direction, while the leaves point up. The root penetrates the ground, and the leaves erect and absorb light. Plucked energy from the sky and soil (nutrient)..

A close-up of the tiny sproutling developing it's root system. In months, this will expand into a huge interconnected network, to deliver food and nutrients to the plants base. In theory, you rarely want to disturb the plants root systems with excess maintenance or transition. Left & Below: A Seedlings Germination Process

For ease of use, the seeds are started in the provided pucks, which absorb moisture, and expand to allow growth. Rockwool cubes can also be used. The pucks absorb water, and expand, while holding oxygen and moisture. The porous inner material allows the tiny roots to take a foothold, and continue to grow.

Like a solar panel, the tiny leaves open to catch the sunlight. The light is exchanged into energy, and when combined with water and nutrients, the tiny plant can begin to rapidly grow and increase it's size.

Seedling Shown in a Single Humidity Dome

Seedlings do best in a humid environment. Until their tiny root system is large enough, they need to uptake water and air by their leaves! The included humidity dome will keep the environment just right for your baby plants.

Humidity & Foggers.
A Kick Butt Combination.

An ultrasonic fogger is used to efficiently keep the humidity level very high - even in dry environments. It creates millions of fine water/nutrient particles for absorption by the plants leaves and roots. Essential for growth in this early, delicate stage. The plant is surrounded by life giving cool fog. ** Left: A 3-Head Fogger

Close-Up of Tiny Hairs For Water Absorption

A close-up of the root shows thousands of tiny hairs formed, to pick the water droplets right out of the nutrient around it!

Leaves Eat Too..

Leaves feed by opening the petiole to drink and breathe; almost like a human. Thousands of tiny mouths all over the plants leaves open to feed on water and breath oxygen.

In early development, leaves will often do the work that the roots will do later on in life. At first, the plant has to use all it's surface area to extract water. Later the root system will prove to be more efficient at this.

A Tiny Water Droplet Is Absorbed

Once the plant is developed enough, the entire root puck can be removed from the humidity chamber and placed into the main hydroponic system to continue growing. The first stage, known as the seedling stage is complete.

The Vegetative Stage

Here several small plants have developed from seedlings in the humidity chamber, and are being transplanted to larger surroundings; the primary hydroponic system.

Just pick up the entire puck, and transplant. Root system and everything is in a tiny little, transportable package! Simply insert to the waiting grow cup of the hydroponic system. That's it!

Under 18 hours of light, the vegetative stage has started. At this point, leaves can be plucked from herbs and other vegetative plants for eating and preparing.

The Flowering Stage

When you're ready to produce fruit, simply cut the light back to 12 hours a day.  You guessed it; this is the flowering stage! The plants will re-act by producing flowers, and beginning to develop fruit for you! Organic, fresh cherry tomatoes are just days away...

It's Time to Harvest!

Starting seeds on the Flora-Cube is easy. Transplanting the tiny plants to full vegetative and flowering growth is effortless. This system is full proof and easy to use; A gardeners dream. All the guess work has been taken out of gardening. There is no green thumb needed.

 
Freshly Picked Cherry Tomatoes Taste Great

 The Flora-Cube Rainforest will do almost all the work for you. Sit back and watch as your plants thrive generation after generation.
