aspara smart grower circulates water so that your plants can keep growing even when you are on holiday. We would recommend you to fill up the water tank and switch the planting speed to “Slow” when you are away. You can see the planting speed selection in control panel of your aspara in your app, unselect auto growing mode, the planting speed will then be available for selection when your plant is in growth mode. You can switch back to auto growing after your holiday.

You can monitor and track the plant conditions instantly using the aspara app on your mobile device during your holiday.

Program A, B and C are the pre-set planting programs available only when aspara is not paired with the app.

If using the control panel, select program A/B/C according to the instructions on the seed kit box (you may need to extend the germination stage manually if your seeds have a longer germination period).

More planting programs are available in the aspara app. When you are using the app, aspara smart grower will apply the specific program automatically according to the selected plant type.
