Build Your Own Living Mini Forest
The Izestee Pro is a desktop aeroponic terrarium with grow light that grows plants in a fine water mist — no soil, no pests, no muddy fingers. Watch every root grow through the crystal-clear chamber, then landscape the base with moss, driftwood and miniatures to make a one-of-a-kind DIY terrarium for your desk, nightstand or shelf.
It's a working indoor garden, a gentle plant humidifier, a soft night light and a mesmerizing desk gadget in one — and a genuinely unusual gift for plant lovers who already "have everything."
Why Plant People Stop and Stare — 6 Reasons
1. See-through root growing — a living "root viewer"
True aeroponics: roots hang in open air and are fed by a fine mist, so they absorb more oxygen and grow faster than in soil. The fully transparent chamber turns the hidden half of a plant into the best part — a living science piece on your desk.
2. Dual-spectrum ring grow light, hands-off 10-hour timer
A full-spectrum ring supports strong, compact growth, while the warm ring doubles as a cozy desk lamp. The light runs a 10-hour-on / 14-hour-off cycle and restarts automatically — no daily plugging, no timers to set.
3. Three mist modes + run-dry protection
Switch between Seedling, Growing and Mature mist levels to match each growth stage; the 500 ml transparent tank runs up to 7 days per fill. When water runs low, misting stops automatically to protect the module — no burnt-out nebulizer.
4. Constant-temperature nursery with live LED readout
A built-in heater keeps young plants and warm-loving species cozy (up to ~113 °F / 45 °C) with over-temperature protection, and the LED display shows the current temperature at a glance.
5. Unlimited DIY miniature landscape
Three open planting holes sit above a wide scene tray. Add moss, ferns, stones, driftwood, fairy-garden figurines or mushrooms — rebuild it whenever you like. It pairs with the same hands-on joy as a bonsai kit, mini zen garden or fairy garden kit, but it's alive and self-watering.
6. Soilless, clean and safe indoors
No potting soil means no soil gnats, no spills and almost no mess — ideal for an office desk or cubicle. The sealed tank, soft mist and warm ambient light make it a calm addition to a bedroom or living room. For indoor decoration and hobby growing; not a medical or sleep device.
What You Can Grow
Most small terrarium plants love it: ferns (maidenhair, button), fittonias, mini anthurium, pilea, small orchids, pothos cuttings, hypoestes, syngonium and succulents in the scene layer. Moss (sheet/pillow moss) creates the classic cloud-forest floor. The open 3-hole top also suits propagating cuttings and watching them root in days.
Important: Use plain water only. Do NOT add concentrated plant nutrient solution to the tank — it crystallizes on and damages the ultrasonic spray module. To feed your plants, apply a diluted feed to foliage or roots outside the tank, following your plant food's instructions.
Where It Lives
A living room centerpiece, a bedroom night-light with gentle mist, an office desk or cubicle companion, a bookshelf or fireplace-mantel accent — even an RV/camper table. At about 7.75 × 6.2 × 21.9 in (19.7 × 15.7 × 55.6 cm) with the grow-light pole, it fits a desk, shelf or nightstand, and the silver finish reads as decor, not equipment.
A Gift That Actually Gets Used (Not Re-gifted)
For plant moms and plant dads, hobby gardeners, bonsai and terrarium DIY fans, desk-setup lovers and "hard to buy for" partners — it's a strong pick for birthdays, housewarmings, coworker and office gifts, White Elephant and Christmas. It arrives as a complete build-it-yourself kit, so the fun starts at unboxing.
From Kickstarter to the Pro
The original izestee brought visible-root aeroponic growing to 1,672 Kickstarter backers ($190,897 raised). Izestee Pro is the second generation: a larger open chamber for DIY landscapes, dual-spectrum lighting, heating with a live temperature display and refined mist control.
In the box: main unit with ring grow light · 3 planting baskets · 3 grow sponges · scene base · power adapter · quick-start guide. Plants, moss and decorative figurines are NOT included.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is aeroponics, exactly?
Aeroponics grows plants with their roots in open air, fed by a fine water mist instead of soil. Roots get more oxygen than in soil or deep water, which usually means faster, cleaner growth — and in the clear Izestee Pro chamber you can watch it happen.
Aeroponics vs hydroponics — what's the difference?
Hydroponics sits roots in a pool or stream of nutrient water; aeroponics mists roots that hang in air. Izestee Pro uses true fine-mist aeroponics, uses plain water in the tank, and needs no air pump, tubing or reservoir changes like a hydroponic system.
Can I add plant nutrients to the water?
No — never put concentrated nutrient solution in the 500 ml tank; it damages the ultrasonic spray module. Use plain water. If you wish to feed, apply a diluted feed to foliage/roots outside the tank following the product's instructions.
How often do I refill it?
The 500 ml transparent tank lasts up to about 7 days on typical use, depending on the mist mode and room humidity. MIN/MID/MAX lines make levels easy to read, and misting auto-stops when water is low.
What plants can I grow?
Small terrarium-friendly plants: ferns, fittonias, anthurium, pilea, mini orchids, pothos and syngonium cuttings, hypoestes and moss. Use the warm/heated mode for warmth-loving seedlings; avoid very large or deep-root plants.
Does it really need no soil?
Correct. Plants root in the included grow sponges/baskets and are fed by mist, so there's no potting soil, no soil gnats and no mess — which is why it works on an office desk.
How does the light timer work?
The ring light runs 10 hours on and 14 hours off, then restarts automatically every day. There are two spectra — full spectrum for growth and warm light for ambience — so no separate timer is needed.
Is the heater safe? Does it get hot?
A thermostatic heater warms the chamber to support seedlings (up to about 113 °F / 45 °C) and has over-temperature protection; the LED shows the live temperature. The outer frame stays safe to touch in normal use.
Is it hard to assemble?
No. Add water to the marked line, seat the 3 baskets/sponges, plant or insert cuttings, landscape the base with moss and decor, and plug it in. Most people finish setup and their first DIY scene in 15–20 minutes.
How big is it, and how much space does it need?
It measures about 7.75 × 6.2 × 21.9 inches (19.7 × 15.7 × 55.6 cm) with the light pole, fits a standard desk, shelf or nightstand, and the 500 ml chamber stays light enough to move when landscaping.
Can kids build it?
Yes, with adult supervision. It's a popular parent-and-child DIY project — planting, moss scaping and watching roots grow is an easy first indoor-gardening lesson. Keep the adapter and electrical parts away from small children.
Does it work as a humidifier or night light?
The fine mist gently raises nearby humidity (good for humidity-loving plants and dry rooms), and the warm ring plus the base mood lighting serve as a soft night light. It is designed for plant care and decor, not as a large-room humidifier or medical device.
How do I clean it?
Power off, empty the tank, wipe the transparent chamber and base with a soft cloth, and rinse the tank. Periodic cleaning keeps the mist nozzle working; do not run nutrients through it.
Can I turn the mist or light off separately?
Yes — mist modes (Seedling/Growing/Mature) and lighting are controlled from the front panel, so you can run light only, mist only, or both.
Is it a good gift? Who is it for?
It's an unusual gift for plant lovers, hobby gardeners, DIY/miniature and bonsai fans, desk-setup enthusiasts and “impossible to shop for” partners — for birthdays, housewarmings, office/White Elephant and Christmas. Because it's a build-it-yourself living kit, it suits adults and families rather than very young children alone.
What's the difference from the first-generation izestee?
Pro adds an open 3-hole chamber built for DIY moss landscapes, dual-spectrum ring lighting, a heating system with live LED temperature readout and refined 3-level mist control. The original launched on Kickstarter with 1,672 backers.
