Growing delicious vegetables and indoors couldn’t get any easier than with Botanium’s hydroponic system. Featuring an automatic irrigation system and a built-in water tank that lasts for several weeks, this soil-free growing medium is easy to set up and maintain even if you don’t have a green thumb.   

All you need to do is fill the tank with water, add nutrient solution and expanded clay aggregate (both of which included in the kit), then drop in a seed and connect the system to let the plant grow. The system will water the plant and monitor the moisture level every third hour, so overwatering will never be a worry. It also comes in three beautiful colour options—white, grey and green, making it a stylish addition to any home décor style.

Currently, Botanium only ships its hydroponic system to Hong Kong due to restrictions on the importation of seeds and plants. You may consider ordering the system and seeds for growing basil, chamomile and lettuce via 24 Crisp—the only authorised reseller of Botanium in Hong Kong, which is also known as a local hydroponic startup founded in 2020. Use our exclusive promo code tatlerhk for 15% off your first order at 24 Crisp.
