AeroGarden Tip #5 – Trim your AeroGarden’s plants

One of the most important things your can do when your AeroGarden is just starting is to trim your plants. There are far too many types of plants that you can grow in your Aerogarden to discuss them all here…so we will only give you a few basic pointers that apply to most all plants. We highly recommend you follow the trimming instructions in the guide included in your AeroGarden Seed Kits. Here are some basic trimming principles you can use:

How to trim your AeroGarden plants

• NEVER trim more than 1/3 of your plants at one time
• Once you trim, give them some time to continue growing and regenerate
• If the plants would normally grow too tall for the AeroGarden, you can ‘train’ the plants to grow out instead of up by cutting the top of the plant off, above the 5th stem. This will encourage the plant to grow and fill out sideways rather than up.

Why should you trim your AeroGarden’s plants often?

By trimming your plants often, you will encourage them to produce more, and your plants will be healthier and more productive. Don’t be afraid to trim your plants, but don’t trim them too much. Think of it like a haircut for your plants – you wouldn’t want to take too much off the top would you?

Okay, the first AeroGarden tip we have to offer is a real basic one. Here is

AeroGarden Tip #10: Read the Manual

We know this is a very basic tip, but believe it or not, it is one that most people ignore. If you do not read the manual, you will not know how to set the AeroGarden lights to go on (or off) when you want them too. You will not know how to super-charge your garden using the 24-hour light cycle (only available on some AeroGardens), you will not know how to maintain your AeroGarden so that it doesn’t stop working, and you will not know when the proper time is to use the AeroGarden Seed Kit Nutrients.

There is a ton of information that is extremely simplified (with pictures) in the AeroGarden Quick Start Guide and the AeroGarden Seed Kit tending and harvesting guides. Reading the AeroGarden Training guides are a great way to get a great start with your AeroGarden! More AeroGarden Tips to come…
