Connect the light frame (G) wires to the support pole wires, then mount the light frame onto the lower support poles.

Insert the upper support poles (H) into the top cover and connect them to the light frame.

Use the thumb screws to fasten the light frame to the lower support poles.

Leafy greens, herbs, flowers: any standard cup

Climbing plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, etc.): MUST go in bottom cups (first row, right or left side)

Place MayPod cap on any unused slots (blocks light to prevent algae)

Remove the seed plug from the top of the MayPod

Place the MayPod into a grow basket with the label facing outward

Insert the grow basket into a growing cup

Assign a plant type to each slot in the App

Enter "Garden", tap the machine, then scan the MayPod code or tap a slot to add it. The system will automatically enable the smart mode to take care of your plants.

The device automatically manages light, water, ventilation, and nutrients

During the first 24 hours, the system calibrates water quality and adjusts nutrient levels

Go to "Garden" —> "Water tank" —> "Change"

Activate pause: Long-press the pause button. The device enters pause mode:

Auto-resume: The device automatically restarts after 1 hour

Manual resume: Long-press the pause button again to restart

Open the right-side lid and add clean water only

Do not mix in fertilizer, cleaners, or any other liquids

Do not exceed the max water level

The device automatically detects the water level and refills when the level drops to 40% and stops at 80%

Refill logic runs once per 24 hours maximum

See Chapter 12: Auto Water Refill Mode

Provides nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK)

The device auto-doses based on EC readings

Refill when you receive a low-level alert

Stabilizes pH and helps prevent root rot

Auto-dosed by water volume (1ml/gal)

Refill when you receive a low-level alert

In AI mode, all parameters are automatic — no need to adjust manually

If you change your plant types, update them in the App, and the system will adjust

The App suggests adjustments for your environment; follow its recommendations

Independently controlled via the App

Select different nightlight, candle, cozy and moonlight according to your ambiance.

Perfect for evening plant viewing and ambient lighting.

Place growing medium into each cell of the tray

Place the tray into the dedicated slot on the water tank lid

Close the humidity dome (keep vents closed during germination, open once seedlings emerge)

You can use nutrient solution from the main tank to water the seedlings

Keep the bottom of the tray moist (the overflow gap is 1 cm (0.4 in))

When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, transplant them into the main growing cups

Gently remove the seedling (with medium) and place into a grow basket

Update the plant info in the App

Climbing plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, passion fruit, etc.) MUST be planted in the left or right bottom cups (first row)

Bottom cups have a larger water reservoir, and roots can grow into the main tank — roots may grow into the main tank, but trim them regularly to prevent overgrowth.

Left and right trellis lights are independently switchable

The trellis light must be manually enabled. Once enabled, it synchronizes with the main light schedule.

Requires the separately sold Auto Water Refill Kit

Suitable for homes with an accessible angle valve (under sink or near a toilet)

Once installed, the device can run unattended for extended periods

Normally-closed solenoid valve: Automatically closes if power is lost

Mechanical float switch: Independent of the control board; cuts power to the solenoid if water exceeds 100%

If you hear a continuous long alarm, check whether the water level is too high

Replace the T-valve every 10 years

Check connections before leaving home for extended periods

If you notice minor seepage, push the tube in more firmly

Refer to the installation video for guidance (similar to RO water filter installation)

Long-press the maintenance button on the device, or start via the App

If tap water TDS > 350 ppm, the App will suggest mixing tap with filtered water

You can also ignore and proceed, but some plants may not grow as well

Yes, you must. The Verti 30 is a tall freestanding device. Without wall anchoring, children climbing or accidental bumps could tip it over, causing injury or damage.

Attach the straps to the center column and top cover, then to the wall. Screw into a wood stud if available, or use appropriate wall anchors.

No. The camera takes still photos only (once per hour by default) unless you manually tap to record. It doesn’t record video automatically.
