How long until I can start harvesting?

With most plants in your Oliver smart garden, you can expect your first harvest in about 4 to 8 weeks after planting the capsules.

Yes—your future basil empire is probably closer than you think.

Why do plants grow so quickly in Oliver?

Oliver creates the ideal environment for healthy growth by providing the right light, consistent watering and precisely balanced nutrients.

The result? Plants can grow up to 3× faster than with traditional growing methods.

In other words: less work for you, more work for Oliver. Just the way we like it.

Every plant grows at its own pace

Just like people, plants all have their own rhythm.

Some take off at lightspeed. Others prefer a slower approach.

For example:

• herbs are usually ready to harvest sooner
• fruiting plants, such as chilli peppers, need more time to grow and ripen

So if one plant is ready for harvesting while another is still taking its time, that's completely normal.

How do I know when it's time to harvest?

No need to study botany—or develop a telepathic connection with your chives.

In the Olí app, you can always see the current growth stage of each plant.

Better yet, the app will let you know when it's the perfect time to harvest.
