Awards at CES 2025
During the show, the Plantaform team also brought home two more honors:
- Digital Trends named the Smart Indoor Garden Best of Show in the Smart Home category
- House Digest also awarded Plantaform Best of CES 2025
What Is the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden?
The egg-shaped Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden grows 15 plants at once in three horizontal rows of five. It uses soil-free fogponics — a fine nutrient mist delivered to the roots — with full-spectrum red and white LEDs that auto-adjust by growth stage. The garden uses a 2 L top tank and a 7 L bottom tank; most gardens need a refill every 2–3 weeks. Harvest herbs and greens any time of day once they’re ready.
Available in white or black, the fully enclosed design is meant to sit in the living room as both a garden and a piece of living furniture. An intuitive app walks beginners and experienced growers through setup, care and harvest.
What Is Fogponics?
Fogponics is an advanced form of aeroponics that uses an ultra-fine mist to deliver water and nutrients directly to plant roots. Compared with soil and many other soilless systems, that mist helps roots get oxygen and nutrients efficiently.
Here’s how fogponics compares:
- Water efficiency: Fogponics uses 98% less water than traditional gardening methods, 30–50% less water than hydroponics systems, and approximately 10% less water than even aeroponics systems
- Growth: Efficient mist delivery supports strong root development indoors
- Space: A compact indoor system fits apartments and homes without a backyard plot

Designed as Living Furniture
Plantaform is designed to look at home in a living room — an egg-shaped, enclosed garden with tinted windows that follow the lines of the device. It’s a statement piece that’s as functional as it is visual: grow food indoors without turning your space into a lab.
The Plantaform App
The Plantaform app (on the Apple App Store and Google Play) guides you from seeding to harvest with reminders and tips. Pair it with the garden so lighting and care stay on track without constant guesswork.
Plant Packs
Plant Packs are boxes of 15 pre-seeded, recyclable plant pods made for the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden. Each pod uses a soil-free rockwool medium with non-GMO seeds. Scan the pack, insert the pods, and let the garden handle the growing cycle.
Browse collections such as Leafy Mix, Lettuce Mix, Herb Essentials (Sweet Basil, Thai Basil, Parsley, Oregano and Cilantro), Cocktail Mix (including dill and thyme) and Cherry Tomato Mix. For setup help, see the Plant Pack Instruction Sheet, the Growing Guide and our Getting Started guide.
