Tropical Desktop Garden

Your Tropical Desktop Garden comes as a kit with step-by-step instructions and everything you need to care for your plants. As you build your indoor garden, enjoy getting a little dirty in the soil while you build your indoor tropical oasis! Everything in the desktop garden kit is designed with you in mind and customized to the needs of your plants.

Your Tropical Desktop Garden will include:

3 Tropical Plants – Each of the tropical plants have aligned light, soil, and nutritional requirements, making them ideal companion plants for your desktop garden.

Bamboo or Concrete Planter – A reusable planter made of either sustainably sourced bamboo or concrete, and includes planter liner and tray. Both planters are approximately 5” x 5” x 5”.  

Aeration Mat – A green aeration mat made from recycled bottles to be placed at the bottom of the black planter liner. This mat helps keep oxygen available to the plants’ roots, which is crucial for their growth and development.

Tropical Foundation – The Gardenuity Foundation is custom blended compost matched to the needs of your tropical plants. 

Tropical Serum – The Gardenuity Tropical Serum is a soil amendment and matched to the nutritional needs of your tropical plants. Designed to be used monthly, this all natural serum will keep your plants well nourished.

Orange Scoop – To use when watering + feeding your plant! 

Mister Spray Bottle – Fill with water and mist your plants.

When your plants arrive, take them out of the box as soon as you can and remove their travel attire. Check your plants' soil + make sure they are well-hydrated. If they feel dry, place them in a shallow dish of water for 10-15 mins to let them soak up the water they need before placing them in their new home.

Setting up your tropical garden is simple and generally takes 15-20 minutes from start to finish. Printed instruction cards are included in each kit.

PLANT CARE TIPS:

{icon_sunlight}LIGHT{/icon_sunlight} Your desktop garden needs 4-5 hours of indirect, natural light every day.

{icon_watering}WATER{/icon_watering} Water your garden once per week by removing the black planter liner from the decorative planter and placing it in a shallow dish of water for 10-20 minutes; your plant will absorb the water it needs. Let your plant sit a few minutes to allow excess water to drain before placing it back into the decorative planter. 

{icon_feeding}FEEDING{/icon_feeding} Nourish your garden once per month by filling your orange scoop with water and adding 2-3 drops of liquid nutrient (serum). Pour directly onto the soil of your garden. 

{icon_humidity}HUMIDITY{/icon_humidity} Your tropical plants like humidity. Every day prior to turning on your computer, take 5 seconds to lightly mist your plants.
