About
Plantaform's Pod Packs consist of 15 seeded plant pods. Each plant pod consists of a pod frame with contained rockwool and seeds. The rockwool is the growing medium used and is a mineral fiber made from rock, which has excellent properties in holding both air and water for the seeds to grow.
Plantaform sources optimal seeds for the Rejuvenate system's Fogponics technology; while not all are MOFGA-Certified organic due to their breeding for soil-less agriculture, none are genetically modified or treated with chemical pesticides.
Plant growth rates in the Rejuvenate system vary by type: lettuces typically take 28-40 days to fully mature, while herbs require 6-8 weeks before the first harvest and can be clipped repeatedly thereafter. Flowers, however, have highly variable growth times, ranging from 30-45 days to bloom, influenced by factors such as day length and plant lifecycle (annual, biennial, or perennial). For specific growth rates, stages, and harvest times, please consult the pod pack information on your particular box.
To view a full schedule of each Pod Packs growing cycle please visit the "Pod Pack Timelines" subheading in Pod Packs.

The pods are meant to be used for a complete growth cycle. Some of the Pod Packs can be harvested continuously for months, like the herb essentials pack especially. The rockwool cannot be used after harvest, as the stem and roots of the plants have grown through the rockwool.
Additionally, the rockwool will potentially become infected with bacteria or other pathogens that can harm your plants if reused. It is advised to buy another set of pods 1-2 weeks before you harvest your current crop cycle.
The pod frame is made of recyclable plastic and the Pod Pack box is recyclable as well. The rockwool is technically not compostable because it is made of rock, but due to its excellent ability to hold moisture, some of the rockwool can be broken into small pieces and sprinkled into your garden soil to improve the water retention.
Once the pods are harvested, you can cut the stems and roots of the pods, then push the rockwool out and either put it in the garbage or spread it in your garden, and finally recycle the pod frame. Be sure to keep the humidity domes and the pod covers as those are reusable.
