ROOT contains an automated smart LED lighting and watering system that takes care of your plants for you. ROOT grows hydroponically – without soil claims to provide faster and more efficient plant growth without the mess. ROOT’s sensors are integrated to adjust to lighting in your environment. The plants will grow in small containers called ROOT Pods that hold your plants’ roots in place. The app will sync with your ROOT so you receive notifications and alerts when your ROOT needs water or nutrients.
