I promise that headline isn't a Mad Libs.
The Watch Leverage OnlineCanadian company Plantaform introduced its eponymous smart indoor garden powered by "fogponics" at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, marking its hard launch in the U.S. CEO Alberto Aguilar plugs it as a "Nespresso for your vegetables" that uses an ultra-fine vapor to hydrate plants, resulting in faster growth and 30 to 50 percent less water usage compared to standard hydroponic systems.
The Mashable team caught the Plantaform at CES' Pepcom media showcase Monday night, and it's easily one of the neatest smart home gadgets I've seen here all week. The Consumer Technology, the trade show's organizer, shares my enthusiasm: It's a 2025 CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation winner in the Food and AgTech category.

Design-wise, the Plantaform is a 26-inch-tall egg-shaped vessel (available in midnight black or frost white) with removable windows, full-spectrum LED lights, and a central chamber filled with holes for up to 15 individual soil-free seed pods. The Plantaform tends to the plants throughout their entire growth cycles using an algorithm-determined combination of water, light, and nutrients, per the company's website.

Its companion mobile app offers setup guidance and care reminders. Notably, the system features a self-cleaning cycle, eliminating a tedious between-plants chore. Popular indoor hydroponic systems like the Gardyn and the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand need to be emptied, taken apart, scrubbed of algae and grime, and then reassembled before new rounds of seed pods go in.

Plant pod packs are $29.99 each and available in mixes of lettuces, cherry tomatoes, and cocktail herbs.
Aguilar said the Plantaform will also support users' own seeds by the end of the year.
