You just received a new box of yCubes or you're ready to start growing some you've saved - how exciting!
If you already have mature plants on your Gardyn and/or plant food in your tank, it's critical to follow the refill tips below since plant food hampers germination.
1. Discover Your New yCubes
If you open the box and don't see your complete order at first, lift up the layer of cardboard to find more yCubes underneath! We pack them tightly to reduce movement during shipping and help use less packaging.
2. Make sure your Sprout Nursery is clean
Whether it's fresh out of the box or your old favorite, be sure to hand wash your Nursery with soap and clean water to give your yCubes the freshest start in life. We recommend washing it once a month or between uses, whichever comes first.
If you already have yCubes germinating in your Nursery and you recently washed it, you can skip this step.
3. Decide what you'd like to germinate & follow the unique instructions
The Nursery's tray can fit up to 10 yCubes, Microgreens, or a mix of both. If you're germinating any yCubes, ensure you remove the small cardboard cover on individual yCubes, and don't add any yCovers or Pod Caps.
