What is the difference between the AEVA and the EVE?
remove
add
The EVE has the same functionality as the AEVA but smaller. It is designed to fit in the tiniest of spaces, without compromising the quality and efficiency of this vertical garden. In the EVE, the main difference is that the plants are closer to the lights, meaning it is harder for fruiting plants to be grown to maturity.
What is a hydroponic garden?
remove
add
A hydroponic garden is a method of growing plants without soil, using a nutrient-rich water solution to deliver essential nutrients directly to the plant roots. This allows for more efficient nutrient uptake and accelerated growth compared to traditional soil-based gardening.
How do hydroponic gardens work?
remove
add
Hydroponic gardens, like those found in Just Vertical systems, work by circulating a nutrient-rich water solution throughout the system using a pump. This solution is delivered directly to the plant roots, providing them with essential nutrients and hydration multiple times throughout the day. Instead of soil, special growing mediums support the plants while allowing their roots to access the nutrient solution. It's like a continuous nutrient delivery system for plants, ensuring they thrive without the need for soil.
How can I ensure optimal seed growth?

add
Before placing seeds in the grow plug, run warm water over them. Additionally, spray the seedling kit dome with warm water every day until germination.
How do plants receive nutrients in hydroponic systems?
remove
add
In hydroponics, plants receive nutrients through the water because they lack access to soil, where they would typically obtain nutrients. Liquid nutrients are added directly to the reservoir along with water, and instructions for feeding specific plants are provided in the AEVA and EVE user manuals. The pump then circulates these nutrients directly to the root systems of the plants, ensuring they receive what they need to grow healthy and robust.

Just Vertical gardens feature a built-in 12L water reservoir at the bottom. You refill it every 2 weeks for the AEVA and EVE. A pump inside circulates water and nutrients through watering pipes on the sides, running every 30 minutes for 30 seconds (48 times daily). This system ensures plants get what they need without waste, saving up to 95% of water compared to traditional methods.
