The system tells you when to water and when to add food, so it's basically foolproof.

Small Grow Light
Finally, a plant grow light that isn't ugly! Most grow lights don't blend well with existing decor. But this stylish light, made in the U.S., is designed to maximize growth and looks good, too. It comes with all mounting hardware, a fabric cord, and timer to grow healthy plants, even in dark corners.
