I recieved a hydroponics machine for Christmas and bought these sponges for that machine; it only came with one set of sponges, so I had to find something that was compatable. These sponges work great, and you can either use them to keep root systems water bound, or to transfer the plant into dirt with root systems in-tact. If you choose to keep the root systems water bound, the sponges will descinigrate if you mess with them too much. I also reccommend soaking the sponges in water for 12-24 hours before putting seeds in them. I've used them outside the hydroponics machine, and it works like a charm. It usually sprouts in 1-3 weeks depending on the plant (machine or not.). Pictures included are of a moonflower I grew using the machine, and put into a glass bottle to keep the root system water bound.

Happy with product. Not used at this time, will be used in the spring. They are a nice size and a good price.

My preliminary review is that these are fine. They are a little shorter than the original Aerogarden ones, and the material is more dense. Also, the seed hole is pretty small. Fine for tomato and other small seeds, but I had to dig out the holes to make them bigger for larger seeds. I’m just loading them up today so don’t know yet how they will perform as a growing medium.

A++ five-star seller. EDITED 20240824: as far as I’m concerned all issues have been resolved by the seller and great communication and customer service. Seller is dedicated to the success of their business. Color me impressedEDITED 20240820: rating increases from 3 stars to 5 wrt customer service. Growell stands behind their product and you can order with confidence. They are working to resolve an issue and I’m impressed with their dedication and responsiveness. I can’t explain my initial experience but after being treated so well, I’m willing to invest the time to help resolve it.EDITED 20240819: rating increased from 1 star to 3 wrt to the great customer service response. I wanted to add that a rep of growell has contacted me to troubleshoot the issue and has offered a refund (which I declined). If I can get some/most of their pods to germinate I’ll gladly upgrade to 5 stars, although I’d appreciate it if they replace the non-viable ones (10 so far). I’ll update the review if anything new develops. Thank you to Nancy at Growell for caring enough to follow up several times to try to resolve. Kudos to her.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I planted seeds from the same envelope in these sponges at the same time and alongside original aero garden sponges and only the original aero garden sponges produced lettuce. For context, I planted two aero garden sponges and four of the growell grow sponges at the same time in the same hydroponics water/media with the same conditions. _NONE_ of the growell sponges produced a plant and _BOTH_ aero garden sponges produced seedlings within a week or two and healthy thriving plants in the long term.Pictured are the two original aero garden sponges in aero garden baskets with healthy plants at a few weeks; and two growell sponges in aero garden baskets with plantings that, as far as I know, never germinated (there are two more in the back that are hidden from view with similar results). All sees were planted to a similar depth in the sponges.When I planted all of them I noted a difference in the feel/texture of the sponges (growell sponges were more elastic and felt rubbery to me) but as a carrier media for the hydroponics solution I didn’t think it would matter.

These grow sponges are great at growing mold and slimy green algae. They do not work well growing my starters. They are made from a biochar cotton and do not do well in my hydroponic system. Growing is extremely slow and as you see in the pictures they are not providing healthy growing conditions.

These work well in both an Aerogarden and a MUFGA unit.

Good amount, does the job okay. It's much shorter than the original Aero garden pods though.

Came a little later than scheduled but that's due to the snowy conditions. Packaging is nice and just using the product now.

They say "compatible with iDOO", however this is slightly misleading.While they technically fit in the POD's, they are a bit shorter in length/height (about 1-2cm's). This causes the pods to sit below the lip of the plastic edge of your Idoo and won't catch all the light that they should when they are sprouting. I would recommend paying a little bit extra for the real ones!
