Miracle-Gro Twelve Indoor Growing System
The Miracle-Grow Twelve Indoor Growing System looks like a nice end table, but it’s so much more. The bottom part of the table is an indoor gardening system. The hydroponic system helps plants grow without soil, so you don’t have to worry about dirt all over your floors. The companion app connects to your garden via Bluetooth to tell you what you need to do and when. Start your garden from seeds, small plants, and cuttings.
Xiaomi 4-in-1 Plant Flower Care Smart Monitor
The Xiaomi 4-in-1 Plant Flower Care Smart Monitor takes a lot of the guesswork out of caring for indoor plants. The small monitor slips into the top of your flowerpot. Use the app to choose your plant(s). Get recommendations on how to take care of the plant along with monitoring the soil, water, and plant health. This monitor is ideal if you don’t want to use an entire system, which can be much more expensive.
AeroGarden
The AeroGarden is a sleek, smart indoor gardening gadget that looks great on a countertop or table. In fact, it makes a great decorative piece as you easily grow up to six plants at a time. Use special pods that already contain the seeds and a perfect soil mixture for optimum growth. Water only when the system tells you to. The built-in light acts as the sun to help you grow perfect plants no matter what time of year it is.
Natede Air Purifier
The Natede Air Purifier is one of the more unique smart indoor gardening devices on this list. It’s not necessarily meant for gardening but as a way to purify the air using plants. While plants do this naturally, Natede amplifies the process, giving you cleaner air with fewer plants. The modern, white pot fits in with any decor.
Monitor your air quality in real time. It works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, though neither are required. A simple hand motion turns the purifier on and off. Vitesy recommends plants for different needs when you’re buying the purifier.

If you’re looking for a more stylish smart indoor gardening system, Plantui Smart Garden is a good choice. While it may not fit in as naturally as the Miracle-Gro Twelve system, the small garden looks almost like a mushroom. It even has a hat with lights to pull down over your growing plants.
All you need to do is add water and nutrients, which are provided. Insert the plant capsules, and the intelligent lighting and watering system does the rest.
Miracle-Gro AeroGarden
Not to be confused with the previously-mentioned AeroGarden, the Miracle-Gro AeroGarden works as a smaller and more affordable version of the Miracle-Gro Twelve system. The compact system fits easily in a corner on a table, shelf, or counter. Insert seeded pods into the device to get started. The hydroponic system and intelligent lighting do the rest. You can buy a wide variety of pods, including herbs, flowers, and vegetables.
Forget complicated indoor gardening. Simply plant in one of these indoor planting systems and enjoy fresh herbs or beautiful flowers without really trying.
