  1. The 6 Best Indoor Garden Systems, Tested and Revi…

    Our top pick is the AeroGarden Harvest Elite Indoor Garden Hydroponic System with LED Grow Light and Herb Kit, due to its ease of setup, use, low maintenance, and compact size given the number of plants it could grow. For a budget-friendly pick that just requires a little extra watering, we recommend the inbloom Hydroponics Growing System.

    Real Simple

    We tested 18 different indoor garden systems over the course of six weeks and evaluated them on setup, ease of use, design, quality, and overall value for money.

    Size

    When selecting the size of your indoor garden, the most obvious consideration is the amount of indoor real estate that you can allot to it. However, there are also a few less obvious things to consider, including your expertise level, maintenance preferences, and the plants you hope to grow. Many smaller countertop models include only water and nutrient indicator lights, making them best suited for growing small, hardy, low-maintenance plants like herbs that can thrive in low-intensity lighti...

    What can I grow with an indoor garden system?

    You can grow pretty much everything in an indoor garden system, including herbs, salad greens, produce, and houseplants. However, Halleck says the type of plants you can grow largely depends on the type of system. “Small countertop growing systems have a very small footprint and limited height space for growing, so you’ll want to match the mature size of the plant you’re growing to the area covered by your grow light,” she says. Halleck recommends starting with compact herbs, lettuces, and ot...

    Do indoor garden systems require maintenance?

    “Passive hydro, hydroponic, and aquaponic units will require some regular cleaning as well as water and nutrient replenishment and potentially some pH monitoring and adjustment,” Halleck says. “In general, the larger the system, the more monitoring and maintenance it requires.” On the plus side, Halleck says that some units do the monitoring for you and let you know when it's time to add the nutrients or pH buffers they include. Of course, the system itself is only half the story; your plants...
