STEP 6

Install your plants

1. If you haven’t already, open and unpack the box containing the 16 yPods.
2. Insert 1 yPod into each of the open slots on both columns. To insert, twist each yPod until it sits flush with the column. Check out our placement guide to find your plants’ ideal spots based on your starter kit!
3. Time to plant! Place the yCubes into the yPods. yCubes are correctly inserted when they sit flush with the yPod.

Tip
Only see one layer of yCubes in the box?
Lift the packaging to find all 16!

Tip
16 plants or fewer to start?
The choice is yours! If you plant fewer than 16, be sure to cover open slots with Gardyn Caps, available in the app.
