Make a Kratky Garden

Grow a plant with just water and a jar

A Kratky garden is a simple way to grow a plant. There is no pump and no electricity. The plant sits above a container of water, and its roots drink the water as they grow.

Follow these six steps:

1. Pick a container
2. Add water and nutrients
3. Plant a seedling
4. Check the water level
5. Watch it grow
6. Pick and enjoy
