Hi! My name is Eli. I actually bought my Pico for a friend. It was originally for her birthday, but I think I’ll wait and give it to her, as a housewarming present.

Eli Welcome to the Altifarmers community!

Shipping is underway, just a matter of time until we dispatch your order and share the tracking information with you.

I’m sure your friend will appreciate this well thought out housewarming present!

Thanks for your patience & support 🙂

Hi my name is Liette
I have had plants for most of my life. When I lived in Brooklyn, NY I always had a few plants from spider plants, Christmas cactus to tomato & bell pepper plants. Now that we moved to Narrowsburg, NY we have several fruit trees and have set up a vegetable garden during the quarantine 16X16 as well as the several hanging baskets of flowers.
I ordered the Pico to be able to have a few additional plants inside during the winter. As I say you can never have too many plants 😄 🌱

Resticon

Hey, I’m Resticon. Got my Picos set up today and I am looking forward to getting a few Bonsai started. I’m also going to see if I can get a Dewy Pine Drosophyllum to grow but that one could be really tough since the climate here is really not made for it. I can always work on some cooking herbs if all that fails but I really want to push these devices and see what kind of things I can get to grow in them with the grow lights.

Mrunal

Hey Resticon

Newbie, but an ambitious one, interested in growing fruits and vegetables for my family. Backed Pico in May and got it yesterday!! I bought it to explore its grow lights and to grow herbs and ornamentals in it. I hope to learn gardening from you all seasoned vets..thanks in advance for whatever help you guys offer.

Hi All! Christine here. I am a plantoholic and a plant killer. Lol..😄I’ve finally, finally received my pico. Super happy to get it before Xmas. I’ve been waiting for it since May but better late than never. Bought it to take care of my plants as I ended up killing them. So, hope pico will keep my precious plants alive & happy. Fingers crossed!!

Mrunal

Hi all! I’m Leah and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest USA. I got a Pico because I’m seriously horrible at keeping plants alive, and I also live in a small condo with very little natural light. (Plus my cat loves eating everything plant-like, so being able to put it on my fridge/wall will be so lovely.) I’ve planted some mint seeds in my Pico but nothing has sprouted yet… think I may have overwatered (again, good at killing plants haha). I look forward to being able to make some mojitos using my own home-grown mint!

Mrunal

Hey @squirrelleah,
Welcome to the community!!
We’re so glad to hear that you’ve received your PICO. Don’t worry about your black thumb, you’ll surely get there with PICO. Mint seeds take around 12-16 days to germinate, may need to wait a little longer. We wish you to see a little tinge of green on your black thumb with PICO. Happy growing!!

squirrelleah

Thank you Mrunal !

I’ve had a few problems since my last post and don’t know what I’m doing wrong… I keep getting some sort of green mold/fungus growing in my PICO, and still no mint sprouts! The first time I saw this fungus I emptied out the PICO and replanted more mint seeds in fresh soil, but the same thing has happened again. I am making sure not to overwater (have only watered once the soil got dry). Do you have any tips??
