Palo Alto, CA — November 18, 2015 | Growiee USA Inc., a hardware startup based in Palo Alto started crowdfunding campaign. The Growiee Intelligent Home Gardening System is available for pre-order on Indiegogo from November 17, 2015. Growiee enables beginners and experts to easily grow vegetables and spices in their own kitchen.

Designed for the most convenient user experience, Growiee is easily connected to a smartphone to cultivate many different vegetables in the user’s own kitchen. By precisely monitoring, analyzing and controlling the herbs’ environment, Growiee simultaneously takes care of up to three different plants in one device. Additionally, the modular system makes it possible to connect multiple devices to form a circular or straight pattern. Currently, Growiee can automatically cultivate lemon balm, basil, mint, thyme, mini tomatoes and chili. The unique, height-adjustable lighting technology enables Growiee to raise vegetables up to two and a half times faster than a traditional setting, making it a fast and easy way to grow herbs at home!

Smart System

Growiee is designed to combine the analytical data, which it receives from perpetually monitoring the plants, with the natural needs of the respective type of herb or vegetable. The results enable the device to adapt its height, light spectrum, water level and watering frequency accordingly. During the entire process, the user can access the collected data through their smartphone and check the plants’ status when they are not at home!

Hydroponics

Growiee is a hydroponic growth system, which means that it does not need any soil to cultivate herbs and vegetables. Consequently, the usage of water is much lower (approximately 5% – 10% of what would be used to grow your vegetables on a farm) and there is no risk for your plants to get infected through contaminated soil.

Unique Lighting Technology

Growiee’s nine individual LED elements (3x Red, 3x Blue, 3x White) form a lighting setup that enables plants to grow much faster than under traditional circumstances. The cultivation of our herbs was between two (200%) and two and a half times (250%) faster, while our lamps performed ten times (1,000%) better than those currently available on the market!
