Heirloom Planter | Passive hydroponic aluminium kratky pot

Easy To Learn, easy To Master

With so few variables and no complex parts, getting started is incredibly easy. As long as you've got around 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, you'll be able to grow most herbs and leafy greens. With 9+ hours you can grow veggies like beans, tomatoes, and even chillies!

Seasons ahead of the competition

Hydroponics smashes soil gardening on growth size and speed every time. With easy to use liquid nutrients that dissolve into water, your plants don't need to expend energy searching for nutrients through potentially infertile soil. The result is faster growth and bigger plants!

Water every quarter

The Heirloom Planter is fully hydroponic, meaning it grows in water with no soil, so all you have to do is top up the reservoir when it's low and add liquid nutrients. Hydroponics uses 95% less water than soil gardening making the heirloom planter the closest thing to 'set and forget' that you'll find in the gardening world.

No soil needed

The Heirloom Planter grows its plants in a tiny growing medium smaller than a shotglass! The plant roots grow downwards in the reservoir and find water and nutrients ready and waiting for them.

The most recyclable material on the planet

If the day comes that you want to ditch your heirloom planter, don't worry! We've made it out of high-quality recyclable aluminium!

Heirloom planter instructions

It’s so easy you can get growing in under 30 seconds!

1. Put the rockwool cube in the silicone netcup (both provided both in the 2L & 10L kit).
2. Plant the seed of your choice in the rockwool.
3. Insert the barbs of the netcup into the lid.
4. Fill the planter with water up to almost the very top.
5. Add our special plant nutrients (50mL provided in both the kits).
6. Place the lid on the planter and you’re growing!

The Heirloom Planter uses a passive system, meaning no pumps or airstones are required. As the water level drops, roots above the waterline absorb oxygen. For best results, wait until the water level drops to 10% of the pot’s height before refilling to half the pot’s height.

How It Works

As your plant grows it uses up the water, as the water level falls the roots grow downward to chase it. The section of the roots that hang in the air oxygenate your plant. As the pot is an enclosed environment, the heat from outside creates a super high humidity microclimate for your plant which allows for healthy plant and root growth.

Your plant will get all of its nutrients from the nutrient solution which comes included in your pots. Unlike soil nutrients, hydroponic nutrients contain all the essential minerals that a plant needs to grow, and as they are already dissolved and floating around in water, your plants can access them without spending energy in search of nutrients as they would in soil. The result? Stronger, healthier plant growth.
