Which pods & nutrients fit your smart garden?

Own an AeroGarden, Click & Grow, Gardyn, Rise or a generic countertop garden? Tell us the brand or model and we will show the pods, grow sponges and nutrients that fit it -- OEM where it exists, plus the cheaper aftermarket/DIY options that fit the same deck. We read 16 system families and do not guess.

2 possible matches -- pick the system that matches your unit:

iDOO 12-Pod (round-pod family)

Open format Aftermarket cross-ref Refillable

Pod format: ROUND inverted-cone peat sponge in a round slotted net basket -- AeroGarden footprint (the open/universal standard).

OEM pods: iDOO Seed Pods kit (12 sponges + 12 baskets + labels + domes + A&B food, B08F4Z95G6); 60-pc sponge refill (B08F4Y7P13) + 60-pc basket refill (B0928NZ54D).

What fits (aftermarket / DIY): Any AeroGarden-format round sponge/basket fits: moistenland, inbloom, Ahopegarden, Growell, DRYADES, generic 50/100-pk baskets.

OEM nutrient: iDOO A&B solid (tablet/powder) nutrient (included).

Aftermarket nutrient: Any general 2-part hydroponic A&B (liquid or solid); not pod-locked.

Heads up:

  • The 12-pod ROUND family (ID-IG301/302/303) is a DIFFERENT format from the 7-pod ID-IG201 (square) -- iDOO's own refills are stamped 'Except ID-IG201'. Do not cross them.
  • Some thin third-party baskets are smaller inside than OEM and can pinch a fully-soaked plug -- buy sponge + basket from the same vendor.
  • Solid A&B is lower-dose than liquid GH-style; heavy feeders may need a supplement. (Exact 12-pod basket top-diameter ~1.7 in is the cross-listing consensus, not a single iDOO spec sheet.)
Recommended grow sponges & pods for the iDOO 12-Pod (round-pod family) -- once you have confirmed the exact model, search for it at your preferred retailer.

Many "compatible" / DIY methods are COMMUNITY-tested, not manufacturer-endorsed -- match the physical format (basket diameter, pod type) and dose by the AFTERMARKET nutrient's own schedule, not the unit's reminder light.

iDOO 7-Pod (SQUARE-pod family)

Supported (brand active) Aftermarket cross-ref Refillable

Pod format: SQUARE grow sponge in a SQUARE net basket -- NOT the round AeroGarden format (this is why it is carved out of every 12-pod refill).

OEM pods: iDOO ID-IG201 Seed Pods kit (14 sponges + 7 baskets + A&B solid, B0888PT83Q).

What fits (aftermarket / DIY): SQUARE-format only: Aooccder square baskets 'Compatible with iDOO IG201' (B09K6ZWWT6); Yoocaa square sponges (iDOO/QYO/LYKO, B0949G6JPW). Round AeroGarden sponges/baskets do NOT seat.

OEM nutrient: iDOO A&B solid (same chemistry as the 12-pod line).

Aftermarket nutrient: Any general 2-part hydroponic A&B (nutrient is not pod-shape dependent).

Heads up:

  • DO NOT buy 'AeroGarden-compatible' ROUND sponges/baskets for this unit -- it takes SQUARE pods.
  • Easy to mis-order: same brand name (iDOO) as the round family -- buyers grab the wrong (round) refill. Match SQUARE.
  • Square exact edge length is not published in one OEM spec; the format + the IG201 carve-out are firmly evidenced by the OEM + Aooccder/Yoocaa listings.
Recommended grow sponges & pods for the iDOO 7-Pod (SQUARE-pod family) -- once you have confirmed the exact model, search for it at your preferred retailer.

Many "compatible" / DIY methods are COMMUNITY-tested, not manufacturer-endorsed -- match the physical format (basket diameter, pod type) and dose by the AFTERMARKET nutrient's own schedule, not the unit's reminder light.
