Fitting aptly well into the age of AI, Plantaform’s indoor garden is entirely app-controlled. All of its settings, including temperature, humidity, light wavelengths, and watering cycles, are monitored by this app that works on NASA’s fogponics technology, designed to create food from fog. Resembling a giant hummingbird egg, an alien spaceship, or a lettuce spaceship, this autopilot garden comes in two colors: Frost White and Midnight Black.
The technology, according to Homes & Gardens, is a form of aeroponics that incorporates vaporized water and plant nutrients to grow edible plants that are usually grown in commercial agriculture settings. Unlike hydroponics, which deals with dipping plant roots in water, aeroponics involves plants being suspended in the air, with their roots hanging down. Meanwhile, the nutrient-and water-rich mist droplets dangling in the air feed these roots, making them grow and sprout into full-fledged plants, including herbs, vegetables, and flowers.
This particular garden showers plants with an ultra-fine mist containing droplets smaller than 50 microns, per Business Insider. It also comes with window shades provided to dampen the light it emits. Experts at Homes & Gardens claim that this innovative garden uses 30 to 50 percent less water than hydroponics and 98% less water than traditional growing methods. Michelle P used it to grow orange tomatoes for her grandchildren. You can grow whatever you like, not just tomatoes or basil.
The eggshell-shaped garden works entirely on an automated system; you can start simply by connecting it to a plug-point and a Wi-Fi source such as your phone. The Plantaform App provides real-time monitoring, and the specialized horticultural LED lights come with built-in self-adjusting settings that will modify based on the schedule of your plants’ growth. Water can last for as long as two to three weeks before you refill it.
The energy-efficient design helps gardeners grow their own vegetables without digging too deep into their pockets. “I am obsessed! Love watching the progress. Only 24 days to go for my first harvest,” a customer named Tracey wrote in a review on Plantaform’s store.
The remarkable compact garden recently became the winner of the Best of Innovation in the Food and AgTech category for 2025 at CES and is now available to purchase in the US. On Amazon, the status is currently unavailable, but it may be back in stock very soon.
