and bountiful harvests. You will see sprouts in 1 to 3 days.
In about 3 weeks, you will experience the transformation
of your seeds into salad greens ready for your table.

Please take a moment to review this section shortly
after planting your Garden (see page 9 for Reminders
About Planting Your Garden).
R
emove Domes
• A few days after planting
your AeroGarden, tiny plants
will appear through the
holes in each Seed Pod Label.
When this occurs, remove
the Domes from each Seed
Pod with emerging plants
and discard or recycle.
Do not remove the Label!
• To reduce plant stress, we
recommend removing the
Domes shortly after the
light(s) turn off or near the
end of the light cycle.
• You do not need to thin your
plants as the AeroGarden
can support multiple plants
in each Seed Pod.
Each Seed Pod Label shows
the number of days until
seeds sprout.
Don’t let this happen!
If your plant is curled
inside the Dome, it was left
on too long. Immediately
remove Dome.
Never remove Labels. They promote germination,
inhibit algae growth and identify your plants.
