The Hyrdro Greenhouse 2 easily fits on a counter or table top. Just add seeds and water, and watch 'em grow! |

| I read the reviews before I bought this product...and it will come apart but I taped it and it works great. I think sometimes people expect to much out of things. But I am very happy and I am going to purchase a bigger one to use in a greenhouse. |
Worked Perfect

| My mom just got one of these, and growing her own herbs inside with checking on it only once a week has made it really easy. It comes with food, growing medium and scoop. Making the water food is so simple. |
Works Well!

I bought the Hydro Greenhouse 2 offline at Toys r Us, as a gift for my girlfriend. I was rather disappointed when I opened it because its incubator case looked nothing like that shown on the box. It was made of flimsy soft plastic which couldn't really hold on to its place, and really made the greenhouse aesthestically less appealing.
However, it really worked like it said it would. Its instruction manual had a list of vegetables, herbs or flowers that you could grow (which wasn't mentioned elsewhere), so I'm not sure if other kinds of plants would work. I planted two types of seeds (not included in package) - Livingstone Daisy (which was not on the list) and Marigold. Within 3 days, my marigold seeds sprouted, although the seed packet said that it would take 7 days. Whether this was due to the excellent conditions of hydroponics is unclear. My daisies have yet to sprout, though it's only 5 days and the seed packet said it would take 2 weeks.
Overall this is pretty cool. You don't have to water them daily, or even take care of them, the water reservoir does the job for you, and you only have to refill it once a week. You also won't have to worry about weeds or bugs since you can keep it indoors and it's covered up (I had a fly trying to build a next though, thankfully it was too fat to squeeze in the holes!) There's also a year's supply of Nutrients to mix with the water. I wonder if normal fertilizers would work as well, since my area doesn't have refills available.
I'll recommend this if you like growing plants but don't like the hassle that comes with it. Highly convenient and delightful to watch your seedlings grow each day! A perfect product if the manufacturers could improve on its incubator casing to make it more sophisticated. |
nice greenhouse, but doesnt look like the picture

| this is a fun little toy. i attempted to grow mint in it (it was on the list of plants to grow which came with the kit) and it worked well. I have currently ordered a refill package (it comes with new growing medium, nutrients, and a transfer strip) and it only costs $6 off the Uncle Milton website. my only complaint with it however is that it doesnt not look like the picture. the top of the greenhouse is flimsy and is hard to get on and if you barely bump it, it goes flying off. it looks more like a toy than a nice green house. |
