What is high-pressure aeroponics and why is it better than hydroponics?

Aeroponics uses a fine oxygen-rich nutrient mist instead of flowing water. This increases nutrient absorption and root oxygenation, which can accelerate growth and boost yield by 20-60% compared to hydroponics. It also uses up to 95% less water.

Do I need natural sunlight to use the VertiLeaf Grow Tower?

No. The full-spectrum LED grow rings included provide everything plants need to grow indoors year-round. Sunlight is optional.

How often do I need to add water or nutrients?

Typically once every 7-14 days, depending on temperature and plant maturity. There is a clear reservoir level indicator for easy monitoring.

How long does setup take?

Most customers fully assemble and plant the system in 30-45 minutes — no tools, plumbing, or prior gardening experience required.

What power does the VertiLeaf Grow Tower require?

Standard household power 110-240V. Very low consumption thanks to energy-efficient components, compatible with South African power outlets.
