WHY WE BUILT THIS
Grocery herbs were never meant to last.
A $4 bundle of basil travels almost a week before it reaches your kitchen. You use a third of it, and the rest turns to slime in the drawer. Then you buy another one.
Evo Mini ends the cycle. You plant your own seeds in the 12 slots, top up the reservoir once, and walk away. Three weeks later, you're snipping fresh herbs off a plant that keeps producing — for months.
No soil. No schedule. No expertise.
HOW IT WORKS
Plant. Plug in. Harvest.
01
Plant your seeds
Drop seeds into the included grow sponges, place them in the 12 slots, top off the 4.2-liter tank, add a cap of the included nutrient. Takes about 25 minutes.
02
Plug in the timer
The full-spectrum LED runs 16 hours on, 8 hours off — automatically. The silent pump circulates water every 30 minutes. You don't set anything manually.
03
Harvest
Seeds sprout in 3–7 days. First real harvest lands in 3 weeks. Snip what you need, and the plant keeps producing.
WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES
One small unit. Six honest features.
Full-spectrum LED.
A 24W LED panel delivers the exact wavelengths plants use — 660nm red, 470nm blue, 730nm infrared, 3000K warm white — so plants thrive without any natural sunlight.
Silent circulation.
The built-in pump runs 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off. It circulates water quietly enough to leave on in a small kitchen or studio apartment without noticing it.
Low-water alarm.
The tank holds 4.2 liters — enough for 15 to 30 days of growing, depending on plant size. When it dips low, a built-in alarm tells you to refill.
Height-adjustable light.
The LED arm moves up as plants grow. Start low for seedlings, raise as needed — keeps leaves close to the light at every growth stage.
Zero pesticides, ever.
It's a closed indoor environment, so no pests find their way in. No chemicals. No soil pathogens. What you harvest is what you grew.
IN THE KITCHEN
An object, not an appliance.
The Evo Mini is designed to live on your counter like a kettle or a speaker — not a gadget you tuck away when guests arrive.

EARLY GROWERS
What the first kitchens to run Evo Mini are saying.
★★★★★
Haven't bought lettuce in three months.
I was skeptical. I've killed every plant I've ever owned. But this runs itself. I top up water once a week and harvest lettuce and basil every other day.
Jamie C., OR
★★★★★
My kids ask to check it every morning.
My eight-year-old checks on the plants before school. It's beautiful, and it's changed how we eat.
Maria R., TX
★★★★★
Every dinner guest asks what it is.
I live in a small apartment with no outdoor space. It sits on my kitchen counter and looks like an object, not an appliance.
Rachel L., NY
★★★★★
I finally have a green thumb.
I'm not a gardener. Three weeks after setup I was cutting fresh herbs for dinner. The pump is quieter than my fridge.

THE METHOD
Why hydroponics grows faster.
Plants in soil spend most of their energy searching for nutrients. In a hydroponic system, nutrients are delivered directly to the roots through circulating water — so the plant spends its energy on leaves, flavor, and yield instead.
-
Uses 90% less water than soil.
A closed-loop reservoir recirculates water; nothing evaporates or drains away.
-
Delivers 50% more oxygen to roots.
The self-circulating pump keeps water moving, oxygenating roots continuously.
-
Grows 5× faster than soil.
Plants hit harvest size in about a third of the time outdoor gardens take.
THE MATH
Pays for itself in one season.
At roughly $10 a week on grocery-store herbs and greens, Evo Mini pays for itself in four to five months. After that, it's free food.

We estimate 60% of herb and green spend can shift to Evo Plant output based on typical household consumption. The remaining 40% covers produce Evo doesn't grow well (root veg, full-size fruit, alliums). Your savings will vary.
QUESTIONS
Everything before you buy.
I've killed every plant I've ever owned. Will this work for me?
Yes. The Evo Mini runs on an automated timer and a self-circulating pump — it doesn't rely on you remembering to water. You fill the 4.2-liter tank, add a cap of nutrient, plug it in. The system handles the rest.
Does it come with seeds?
No. Evo Mini ships with the grow deck, LED panel, pump, timer, 12 grow sponges, 12 grow baskets, 12 domes, plant labels, a nutrient starter, and a power adapter. You supply your own seeds, which means you're not locked into any specific catalog. Standard seeds from any nursery or online supplier work with the included sponges.
What seeds should I start with?
Fast-growing herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley, mint) and leafy greens (butter lettuce, arugula, kale, spinach) produce the quickest first harvest. Once you're comfortable, try cherry tomatoes, mini peppers, strawberries, or microgreens. Aim for plants that stay under 12 inches tall.
How much space does it take?
About 1 square foot of counter. The unit is 15.94" wide × 6.49" deep × 6.96" tall with the light arm collapsed — roughly the footprint of a large toaster.
Is it noisy?
No. The pump cycles for 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off. During its off cycle, the unit is silent. During the on cycle, most users don't notice it from across the room.
How often do I refill the water?
The 4.2-liter tank typically lasts 15 to 30 days depending on plant size. When the level dips below 700ml, a built-in alarm lets you know.
Does the light stay on all night?
You control the schedule with the built-in timer — it runs 16 hours on, 8 hours off. Most users set it to turn on at 6am and off at 10pm so the lights aren't on at night.
How much does it cost to run?
Around $4 to $6 per month in electricity. The LED and pump are efficient — roughly 24 watts running average.
What happens if I go on vacation?
The reservoir holds enough for up to 30 days depending on plant size. For a weeklong trip, just fill before you leave.
Is it safe around kids and pets?
Yes. No pesticides, no exposed electronics beyond the sealed pump, and the water reservoir is enclosed.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You have 100 days to return it. We cover return shipping, and we'll refund you fully. If anything fails in the first three years, we replace it.
What plants won't grow well in it?
Anything that needs more than 12 inches of vertical space — like full-size tomatoes, corn, or indoor fruit trees. The LED arm tops out at around 12 inches above the deck, so tall fruiting plants will outgrow the light.
Plant tonight. Harvest by the weekend after next.
