Indoor Gardens

1. A garden really autonomous, compact, very easy to use and patented. It adapts easily to your interior and the light blinks when you need to refill the water tank. The plant refills are ready to use: you do not need to plant the seeds or add nutrients: everything is already integrated in the Lingot^®.
   
   
2. The speed of growth and the pronounced flavor of the plants: this is due to our energy-efficient LED grow lights (blue and white) which develops the flavors and accelerates the growth.
   
   
3. A large quantity of aromatics and an extended duration of harvest: our Lingots^® have a culture surface 3 to 10 times higher and you harvest most of our plants during 4 to 6 months. Which makes them the most economical refills on the market.
   
   
4. The possibility of growing 4 plants at the same time while occupying little space on your work plan.
   
   
5. Our wide range of plants: currently 30 species (aromatic herbs, baby-vegetables, edible flowers and baby herb salad). We work every day to expand this catalog and always bring you more choices with rare and tasty species.
   
   
6. Our 2 independent adjustable lighting poles : they give you the possibility to grow plants of different sizes and at different stages of growth.
   
   
7. Our products are made in France, of which 80% within a radius of 200km. Indeed, all Véritable^® products are designed, made, assembled, packaged and shipped by French companies. We have carefully chosen the best materials and finishing touches by working with local partners recognized for their know-how.
   
   
8. Our products are eco-designed: no unnecessary packaging, recycled and / or recyclable materials, biodegradable and compostable refills, Véritable^® works every day to respect these ecological and eco-responsible values.

The VERITABLE^® garden has 4 slots to receive 4 Lingots^®.

The EXKY^® garden, more compact, has 2 slots to receive 2 Lingots^®.

We have two models available in several technologies:

The CLASSIC garden can be grown in a room little exposed to the sun.

The SMARTgarden adapts to any room: it automatically modulates the intensity of its lighting according to the ambient light, to bring the right amount of light to the plants and thus guarantee optimal growth. 

The CONNECT garden uses the SMART lighting system. It also has a dedicated mobile app that allows you to follow the evolution of your plants or choose your lighting mode.

The Véritable® Garden is very energy efficient, it consumes 11W when lights on. This represents 64kWh of electricity per year (approx. cost of 11 euros per year). This is 3 times less than your Internet Box.

It operates on power supply, with a 15V adapter 100-240 V, 50-60Hz (no battery).

1. It enables to cultivate at home healthy plants without GMOs, without any pesticides, fungicides or other harmful treatments to man and the environment.
   
   
2. It uses water with precision. The automatic irrigation system allows the plant to use the water according to its needs, without losing a drop!
   
   
3. Thanks to its energy-efficient LED grow lights, it is very energy efficient and consumes only 11W, or approx. 10 euros of electricity per year.
   
   
4. Lingots^® (refills) are compostable and biodegradable.
   
   
5. The packaging is printed with vegetable inks and is recyclable. No superfluous packaging is used.
   
   
6. Choosing the Véritable^® garden is a choice for a local and responsible consumption without any transport, because the producer is YOU !

The Véritable^® garden is completely quiet because it does not use a pump but a watering system by capillarity called "passive hydroponics".

When the water level in the tank is low, the LEDs in the garden will flash slowly to warn you.

To fill the reservoir: pour water into the central hole of the garden until the float rises and closes this hole (it takes 2L to fill the reservoir). 

As soon as you start filling the tank, the vegetable garden stops flashing and turns on normally (blue and white fixed). 

Important: the float only indicates the maximum water level, it does not indicate the low level. To take full advantage of your Veritable^® garden's autonomy, wait for the LEDs to flash before filling the tank.

The Véritable^® garden is autonomous up to 4 weeks.

The autonomy of the reservoir may vary depending on the size of your plants and the temperature of your room.

This is how the autonomy of the Véritable^® garden evolves:

• New Lingots^®: 4 weeks
• Young plants: 2 to 3 weeks
• Adult plants: 1 to 2 weeks

Before you leave, be sure to fill the reservoir of your Véritable^® garden maximun. Harvest your spices before leaving, so they will consume less water.

You can use non-softened tap water or rainwater.

No softened water: it is fulled of sodium, which can affect the growth of plants.

No demineralized water: minerals are essential for the good development of plants.

Your garden is designed to be used indoors, in your kitchen, living room, or any other well-ventilated room, at a temperature between 19°C and 30°C. The temperature of your room and the humidity rate influence the growth of your plants. The hotter it is, the faster your plants will grow.

The garden does not need sunshine to work, so there is no need to put it near a window. You can even place it in a room without a window. Avoid placing it in a veranda in summer, near a radiator, an air conditioning, a source of pollution (eg laundry room). We do not recommend its use in a bedroom: its bright lighting lit 16h per day may disturb you.

Place it on a flat, stable surface near a power point.

We recommend that you clean your Véritable^® garden every 4 to 6 months, which is when you renew your Lingots^®. 

You can clean the tank and lid by hand with soapy water and a soft sponge. If your water is hard, use hot white vinegar to descale it.

Never immerse the tank, light poles or power adapter in water.

The Lingot^® baskets and float can be placed in the dishwasher, taking care to remove the irrigation wicks first.

The problem may be the magnet at the bottom of the tank: it may be stuck or blocked by plant roots.

-> Remove the cap above the magnet at the bottom of the tray and check that the magnet floats freely. Clean your magnet, and place it back in its place, round disc up and push the cap over it.

We've even made a little video to show you just how simple it is.

It should work again! If not, please contact our customer service.

You indicate a potential malfunction of your water level alarm.

The low water alarm is triggered when there is only 4 to 6 mm of water left in the tank.

Caution: The float that tells you the maximum water level does NOT tell you the low water level. Do not rely on its height to determine the low level in your tank.

For your information, here is the average watering autonomy during the life cycle of the Lingots^®: 

• New Lingots^®: 4 weeks
• Up to 1 month: 2 to 3 weeks
• After 1 month: 1 to 2 weeks (depending on the species and the temperature of your home).

If your water level is lower than 4 mm and your alarm has still not been triggered, it is because the magnet that captures this level is blocked.

To remedy this quickly: 

- Remove the basket n° 3 (for the Véritable^®): at the bottom of the tank, remove the cap above the magnet and check that the magnet floats freely in its housing. (see p.1 of the manual to know its location).

If the magnet is blocked, remove it, check for roots underneath and replace it in the right direction (white dot up). Replace the cap by pressing firmly on it.

We've even made a little video to show you just how simple it is.

Tips:

• Remember to descale your tank regularly with hot white vinegar because the lime in your water can interfere with the proper floating of the magnet. Ideally, this should be done every 6 months.
• When your plants are mature, check also that there are no roots or dead leaves that would have been lodged in this place.
