The devices

Tools that feel more like houseplants than tech.

Everything Gardun makes is designed to blend into a warm, plant-filled home — in matte cream, soft terracotta, and living green.

Self-watering, quietly

Ceramic reservoirs sip just enough — no puddles, no droopy leaves, no guessing.

Sprout Sensor

A slim probe reads soil, sun and temperature and whispers advice to your phone.

Grow-light glow

Warm, plant-tuned LEDs supplement dim corners without turning your home into a lab.

Calm connectivity

One tap to pair. Nothing to log into. Your plants get smarter — you stay unbothered.

The daily ritual

Three small steps.A garden that grows itself.

Gardun is not another dashboard begging for your attention. It’s a soft nudge, a slow drink, a warm morning light — the sort of care a plant would give itself, if only it could.

  1. 01

    Plant it

    Choose a Gardun planter or fit any pot with a Sprout Sensor. No wiring, no fuss.

  2. 02

    Pair it

    Hold your phone near the device. It’s connected before the kettle boils.

  3. 03

    Forget it

    Water, light and reminders happen quietly. You just enjoy the greenery.

Growing stories

Loved by people with brown thumbs.

I have killed every plant I've ever owned. The Little Greenhouse has kept basil alive on my counter for eight months — through two vacations.
Priya N.
Little Greenhouse owner, Chicago
The sensor told me my fiddle-leaf fig was getting too much afternoon sun. I moved it three feet. It's put out four new leaves since.
Marcus T.
Sprout Sensor owner, Portland
It's the first 'smart' thing in my house that doesn't look like it belongs in an office. Guests ask about the planter before they ask about the plants.

Common questions

Everything else you might wonder.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Every Gardun device works fully without one — the app, sensor readings, and watering schedules are all included. There are no monthly fees, ever.

What phones does the app support?

The Gardun app runs on iOS 16+ and Android 12+. Pairing uses Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) is only needed if you want readings while you're away from home.

How long does the Sprout Sensor battery last?

About six months on a single CR2477 coin cell in typical use. The app warns you a few weeks before it runs low, and replacements are available anywhere batteries are sold.

What if my plant still dies?

Write to us. We'll help you read the sensor history, figure out what happened, and share the small adjustments that usually turn things around. Keeping plants alive is a conversation, not a warranty.

How can I get a Gardun device?

We don't sell online. Gardun devices live in a small circle of independent plant shops and garden studios we work with directly — write to us and we'll point you to the nearest one, or let you know when we're visiting your city.

Are the planters safe for herbs I'll eat?

Yes. Reservoirs and soil-contact surfaces are unglazed food-safe ceramic and BPA-free polymers, and the grow light spectrum is tuned for edible herbs and leafy greens.
