Many people enjoy the benefits of indoor gardening, and those of you that love IKEA can finally enjoy their own product in this sphere. Ikea has launched its new indoor gardening product into stores, bringing home hydroponics to a larger market. The Krydda/Växer series allows consumers to grow their own plants and vegetables inside, without soil or sunlight. It works through two interlinked systems: first seeds are placed in the Växer’s moistened stone wool starter plugs. Once they have sprouted, the plugs are planted into Krydda pots, where they are hugged by water-retaining pumice stones as they mature. Units can either be placed in a windowsill to take advantage of natural sunlight or affixed to a specialized low-energy LED lamp to enable cultivation anywhere, at any time of year.
