Can you put already started plants in this or is it for seed starting only?

I did it the other way around. Seeds then transplant which it what it seems to be designed to do. It is compact and provides plenty of light, but the size may limit what you want to use it for. I don't know what your started plants are but look at the dimensions. Even my cherry tomatoes outgrew it but it does everything it is designed to do well. Very well. It is plant and forget. It will tell you what it needs - water,fertilizer,etc.

There are ways to do both just work through the germination mode empty about 2 weeks then start your mature plants or start young plants earlier maybe a week in

It would be difficult to put a started plant in this, as there is no soil, so you would need to clean it first and put it in the cone. If the plant was very small you probably could.

There are no plants in the kit. That's what confused me. I think it is just a bunch of pods for you to grow your own seeds.

You certainly can. The planter is for indoor/outdoor use. The three tiers will allow you to have 9-10 plants in it.

The planter has a botton but it is open on the sides. You can place a pot in it. I am very pleased with this planter.

Yes, we use these every year to start both our vegetable and flower gardens. Just use a tweezer to insert the seeds in the pods.

No. You must put in your own potting mix and a plant. The plant goes through the hole in the bottom. Seed won't work. I put in a cherry tomato plant on June 1st and I have about 40 tomatoes on the plant.

My husband said yes. It shows on the box how you can do that he said. Great garden and more than enough output for a family just starting a garden. We did lots of tomatoes, wax peppers, cucumbers, 4 different herbs, green beans and small onions.

You can use seeds from your own veggie collection--I do! It's how I start all my vegies. However, you do need the sponge. The containers hold the sponge, which soaks up water and nutrients, and your seeds grow in that.

You can plant directly in this pot. It has a water reservoir at the bottom built in inside to prevent overwatering

Yes, you can put different plants under one roof. I did tomatoes, herbs and peppers all in one. 100% germination and I'm a newbie, too.

The openings are pretty small....a normal mixed seed with sunflower and corn pieces etc. would be too large for the openings. I'd say it's better suited to just niger seed.

Just got ours and haven't set it up yet, but it looks like it would handle just 1 plant.

Yea, you can use these to germinate any seed that fits inside. Just keep it moist and store in a warm, dark place until they sprout. The largest seed I've used is green beans, and it worked great for me. I've also had success with plain sponges, just cut them to size, cut a slit in the center, add seed + water + darkness. These are definitely the best thing on the market I've used to start seeds and clone plants.

no you can grow small plants in this throughout their life cycle. as long as they are small plants. but if you do change them into a bigger set up do it before the roots come out of the bottom of the individual 3inch net pots.

No! You turn the top & add seed, it's not complicated. That is for cleaning purposes.

The product is too course to sprout seeds. It is reusable, however, the root system will be too entangled with the product to be removed completely without a sigificant amount of time and effort.

Because its a cloning machine, I haven't tried to start any seeds. I'm not sure how that could work. But it's great for cloning. I've used it for orchids that are dying and also with some cuttings. I love it.
