Just some tips. Instead of using the zip lock bag just use some clear plastic and go over the top of container and use a string and tie around the top. Also when removing the roots from plastic tray gently twist the plant as you are pulling and they will come out easier. That lettuce you harvested at the start of video looked yummy !!
Like that you save your baskets!! It’s both cost effective and one less piece of plastic in the landfill. Just got my Aerogarden and excited to see what I can do with it.
I have had mine for five yrs and start my tomatoes in the winter and transplant into pots. They are in the ground now. Have peppers in it now. Great product!
Thank you for a very informative video on transplanting. I love that you are reusing the plastic parts. You also are so gentle with your plants! Gave me a lot of ideas. I just received an aerogarden as a birthday gift!
I'm looking forward to trying to transplant several varieties of plants from AeroGarden to outside when the weather gets to where it needs to be. This was helpful for that!
Thank you for this wonderful, informative and caring video! I'm new to gardening, just rcv'd my AeroGarden & had lots of general questions. I went to AeroGarden's website, watched 2 videos which were good but companies tend to leave out just common basic information or the what if's, how to fix solutions/answers so with this in mind, I went to UA-cam, found this video and WHAT A BLESSING!! Please keep the wonderful videos coming. I would like to say too, I really enjoyed your calmness in your voice. I have major anxiety & so many How To videos I watch they are either disorganized, going 90 to nothing, loud and oh I must not leave out...the loud irritating music they play in the background. My point is, keep being you!! You caring about the roots shows a nice genuine attribute of yourself. Unfortunately in this world we live in today that is so hard to find. Happy and Safe Holidays to you & your family. 🤗☺️
Yes, thank you! I was wondering why my plants didn’t transplant to a pot well, but I see I didn’t think the soil had to be super moist and my roots were too thick. Subscribing 🤠
I’m so glad I found your channel! You give such practical advice! We just set ours up today and are excited to see where this goes. Would you mind doing a video on some of the things you learned when you first started transferring from your Aerogarden to containers? I am brand new to gardening
Quick tip: Sealing that container is KEY... You should have used a large clear plastic garbage bag over the entire thing or cling wrap the top... this keeps the bugs and fungal spores out... 'sealing' the entire container you'd see better growth and zero dehydration...It keeps the inner air warmer and plants can live in a sealed container for months...Even though plants are CO2 sinks it takes a really, really long time to actually 'RUN OUT' of Co2 due to respiration of the plants! Sealing anything with clear plastic only makes the plant stronger. BE SURE TO BOTTOM WATER ONLY!
When I go hydro to soil I'll do a daily watering for 3-4 days to acclimate them from their environment. After that week passes, They're good for basic soil maintenance. Really don't need a bag. Plants simply require a constant water supply for those 4 days to get used to living in that medium.
I just planted 6 pods of Lettuce and 6 pods of cherry tomatoes in my hydroponic garden. This is the first time I'm doing this. I'm planning to transplant everything to a raised garden I've started outside. I have no idea what I'm doing but just watching videos and trying to learn. Your video was very helpful. When do you move the pot outside? Or do you just always keep it in the house?
@@PiggyPickem I've received replacements a twice now. One didn't grow so I requested another replacement. I've found the customer service very good about it, just request online and get it in about 1-2 weeks. For this reason though, I ordered more pods than I needed so I don't have to wait so long or have uneven growth - that was the most annoying part. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to take your advice! This is my first time ever gardening & I'm loving it already! Some of what you're advising matches what I was thinking, & I also learned some new things!
I'm one week behind you. Thanks for the tips. I suppose if you have bigger bags or smaller pots you could use one bag per pot. I'm transplanting tomatoes tomorrow.
Great video! My grow baskets are connected at the very bottom which presented a challenge for me to get the young plant loose from the basket without damage to the roots. I am going to look for some grow baskets that are more flexible and "kinder" so that I can release the plant easier. Thank you for the info!
I just wanted to let you know that mine at the bottom are connected too and I managed to get them out with ease by using a chopstick and gently nudging them upwards from the side to loosen them from the basket. Just be suuuuper super gentle with the roots, treat them with lots of love n care and they shouldnt get damaged. If you dont have a chopstick try nudging gently with a toothpick. Hope that helps you :D
I think the plastic baskets are normally connected at the bottom, but you can cut them to separate them like in the video. It's probably best to do this before planting, so you don't damage the roots by cutting the baskets at this stage.
Hi Elise! I did cut the bottoms because the roots were significant. If you transplant from your Aerogarden when your plants are younger though, you shouldn't have to cut the baskets. Hope this helps!
Very helpful -- thank you! Any tips for transplanting more mature plants to soil? I have a couple of Genovese basil and a Thai basil which have gotten huge. I'd love to put them in pots so I can continue to harvest the herbs while I replant my Aerogarden.
Very nice video I loved everything about it and great information. Didn't really know about the roots is like taking off a finger nail. keep up the great content, Thank.
Hi my name is debbieWhite yesterday I replanted my basil and thyme to a pot with soil they are next to aerogarden to get the light how long should the herbs stay by the light and when should They go outside 😊😊
Hello. I enjoyed your video. I am 64 and disabled. U luve in a small apartment and don't have a lot of room to work with. But I have a tiny food budget so I was thinking about getting an aero garden just for salad veggies. I could use any tips or help I can get in choosing the correct one for the best price and for what I want to grow. I was originally wanting romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes and baby spinach and some herbs. But I cant afford a huge aero garden. Any suggestions? I'd also like to grow some hot peppers or baby bell peppers. But I just don't know how to get started.
Debbie, if you have access to QVC for online purchases, they have Aerogarden mini on easy pay. It has fewer spots for pods than the larger versions, but if you can then transplant the starters into regular pots, it just means you take a little more time to get a variety going. They sell the salads as a separate set of pods. The mini comes with herbs as starters.
bushy plants like tomatoes and peppers need more room than herbs and lettuce. u either space out the plants in the pods [not using them all] or transplant the seedlings into a pot for a container garden. it helps to use dwarf plants.
Thanks for the video! Just got mine in today and I'm looking for tips and tricks. Can you elaborate on one point? You said that tearing the roots is like ripping off a fingernail... I have a horrid vision in my head now. What does it actually do to the plant? I'm asking because everytime I buy potted flowers or plants and I go to plant them in my garden the roots are normally really bunched and my hubby has advised me to tear apart the bottom of it to loosen them up, he says they grow better that way, that he learned this while working for a landscape company many years ago. I've never had a problem with the plants dying but I'm concerned I'm doing something wrong. Your input/thoughts/opinion would be greatly appreciated!!!
Your husband is right. I landscaped for a multi-million dollar house that had everything from herbs and veggies to flowers, bushes and trees. The roots will bunch up and they will strangle the plant. So you can either tear them or cut them and then tease them to loosen them up. This will help them grow into the new soil much better. Ripping off a fingernail wouldnt do anything physiologically to a human.. it would just hurt. Plants cant feel anything. But what it does, when you traumatize the roots is it causes the plant to basically go into protection mode and it will stop drawing water/nutrients from those roots. Which is why you want to transplant it quickly so the plant doesnt go into actual shock. But that takes about an hour+
@@TopODaMernin Thanks so much for taking the time to answer! I'm not tree hugger enough to believe the plant was feeling pain, lol! I just had this vision that I was causing some kind of major damage. But that didn't quite seem to be correct, because they've never died or shown too much stress. I mainly have a ton of various kinds of milkweed and some of the more "exotic" kinds get pricey per plant, so honestly I just wanted to ensure I wasn't damaging the plant or affecting it's growth rate by tearing up the bottom. It's actually why I bought the aerogarden. I wasn't having any luck sprouting any of the seeds from my milkweed plants. So I'm hoping this will work and if it does, I'll be transplanting them outside. Again, thanks so much!
when u buy potted plants they are almost always pot bound [have roots circling the root ball on the sides and bottom]. these are not fragile new plants... i use a three prong garden claw and aggressively rake the sides from top to bottom and across the bottom with long strokes. fear not. i just put the newly potted plants in a tray* with 1-2" of water in the shade to recover. when they dont wilt anymore it's time to put them in the ground and/or in the sun. *plastic concrete mixing trays [about 2 ft W x2.5 ft L x6 inches H] work just fine and u can carry a lot of pots in them. if u want to separate crowded plants just sink two opposing garden claws in the roots where u want to divide it and pull them apart. what the girl in the vid is talking about is tender young starter plants with very little root systems. different ball game.
Thanks for the video! Can you please let me know where you bought those grow cones (without the bottom) that make it easy to take out without the roots getting tangled? Or did you cut the regular grow cones yourself?
Do you have to replant into soil ? I want to put them into LECA Balls. Or do Hydroponic plants that have once started have to be in dirt. This goes against what I learned and want.
Maybe someone in this wonderful group can help me. I am looking to get into full time rving and am looking for good ways to save money on the road. Do y'all think this form of hydroponics will work on the road? Any full time rv gardeners? Than you so much!!
I just purchased an Aerogarden and I cant wait for it to come it! Love your videos. Can I ask which model you have and if you have ever tried growing your own seeds?
If I have an outdoor green house already could I just transplant them in soil and then put them in the greenhouse and everything would be okay? Or should I double up with putting something plastic over the plants for extra warmth?
Hi! I have a small AeroGarden that I've had mixed success with transplanting...since I didn't watch your videos. :) Your reused grow baskets--did you cut off the bottoms yourself? Do you have a video on that and how you arranged the tinfoil? Thanks!!!
There’s a product called Spray-N-Grow. I’ve used their fertilizer for over 25 years, and have had great success with transplants, as well as anything else, indoors and out. It’s highly concentrated, so the smallest bottle will go a long way. 😉
u can; it says so in their literature but i'd look for clarification on how much to use and how. it's pricey though so i'd dissolve some regular miracle gro in water per instructions and just spray that onto the plants once a week or as recommended for that plant. it is absorbed thru the leaves.
Hello! I created a video showing another transplant from an Aerogarden to soil if that helps: ua-cam.com/video/Jhgk52UdlA0/v-deo.html. Here is a photo of one of the transplants I took just today: instagram.com/p/CLvOEf2lQiJ/?igshid=bh7kyum03sqd. I will say sometimes transplants just don’t survive the shock of moving to soil, but if you try not to overwater and give your plant the proper sun and plant food, you should be ok.
@@easyapartmentgardening6761 thanks, I tried to transplant lettuce but it didn’t do as good as aerogarden. My friend tried the aerogarden lettuce and said it taste better than store bought.
what she didnt say was 'why'... the tops are covered [with a pencil sized hole in the cover] when the seeds are started. this helps prevent algae growth in the water tank by blocking the light source.
in an aerogarden the top of the seed pod is covered to help prevent algae in the water by blocking the light from going into the pool of water in the bowl. seed pod kits from aerogarden come with paper covers. there is a hole in the center about the size of a pencil [for the sprouted seeds to come out] and then the paper cover is clipped around that opening about every quarter inch apart all around the center hole and about 1/4 inch deep. if u watch an aerogarden ad/vid u can see that. the foil was her homemade substitute.
I would love it if there was a follow up video to see how the plants are doing now. :)

You can just cut the plastic pod if the roots are longer or more tangled. Minimal shock to the plants. We don’t reuse our pods.

Will the pods choke the roots once growing in the earth ??
Do you have to replant into soil ? I want to put them into LECA Balls.
Or do Hydroponic plants that have once started have to be in dirt. This goes against what I learned and want.

Did this batch grow like you wanted?
If I have an outdoor green house already could I just transplant them in soil and then put them in the greenhouse and everything would be okay? Or should I double up with putting something plastic over the plants for extra warmth?
this would depend on how early in the season u put them in the greenhouse, if the greenhouse is heated, and what temps the seedlings will tolerate.
How long do the plants need to have the bags on?
Hi! I have a small AeroGarden that I've had mixed success with transplanting...since I didn't watch your videos. :) Your reused grow baskets--did you cut off the bottoms yourself? Do you have a video on that and how you arranged the tinfoil? Thanks!!!
Hi, roots have grown out of control. Could I just plant them with the pods?
Do you have a video on reusing plant pods? Why did you use foil around plants?
the foil around the top of the basket only, shields the water in an aerogarden from the sun to help prevent the growth of algae in the water tank.
Micro climating at 10:35.
my plastic baskets do not look the same, they have a base at the bottom, i will have to cut the bottom off to extract plant.
If the roots are entangled at the bottom then yes, you would cut the bottom part off. Happy planting!
Do you have a video on reusing pods, notice you had foil around your lettuce plants. Why?
the foil blocks sunlight to help prevent the growth of algae in the water tank
Should I remove most of the greens before transplanting?
Hello! No, you do not.
Thank you so much for this!
can you use the aerogarden plant food for the potted plants? if not what would you suggest?
There’s a product called Spray-N-Grow. I’ve used their fertilizer for over 25 years, and have had great success with transplants, as well as anything else, indoors and out. It’s highly concentrated, so the smallest bottle will go a long way. 😉
@@adm6785 Thank you Audrey! I will try to get some
u can; it says so in their literature but i'd look for clarification on how much to use and how. it's pricey though so i'd dissolve some regular miracle gro in water per instructions and just spray that onto the plants once a week or as recommended for that plant. it is absorbed thru the leaves.
@@rosemaryus-ct6151 Thank you Rosemary

it's only to create humidity and help keep the small plants warm while they are little.

And so you will transplant again? After how long?
I will if the plants get too big for the container. So far I haven’t had to.
Why the foil?
Usually the aerogarden seed kits come with paper covers, and instead of buying more through aerogarden, I just use foil to cover my pods.
@@easyapartmentgardening6761 I thought that was just used for labeling.
what she didnt say was 'why'... the tops are covered [with a pencil sized hole in the cover] when the seeds are started. this helps prevent algae growth in the water tank by blocking the light source.
What kind potting soil do you use
she said miracle grow moisture control potting soil
What is the foil for around your seed pods?
in an aerogarden the top of the seed pod is covered to help prevent algae in the water by blocking the light from going into the pool of water in the bowl. seed pod kits from aerogarden come with paper covers. there is a hole in the center about the size of a pencil [for the sprouted seeds to come out] and then the paper cover is clipped around that opening about every quarter inch apart all around the center hole and about 1/4 inch deep. if u watch an aerogarden ad/vid u can see that. the foil was her homemade substitute.
Thank you, of course. BUT SOOOOOO SLOW. Painful to watch. Unwrapping everything so slow, one by one. We don't have so much time to waste!
I just can't watch this with the music constantly interrupting the speech.
Good video with unfortunately horrible music.
