Everything you might want to know before your first pod. Still curious? Get in touch.

Using BioPod

Place one pod at the base of your plant or just below the soil surface, then water as you normally would. The shell dissolves in 30 to 90 seconds and the nutrients release into the root zone gradually over 8 to 10 weeks.
One BioPod lasts 8 to 10 weeks under normal indoor conditions. A 12-pack is twelve feedings, about a dollar each.
A simple rule: about one pod per six inches of pot diameter. One pod for a 4-to-6-inch pot, two for 8-to-10 inches, three for 12 inches and up.
BioPod is designed and optimized for indoor plants. An outdoor line is on our roadmap for the future.
BioPod is odor-light by design. There are no dusty powders, no strong chemical smells, and no open bags of granular fertilizer. The controlled biological process inside the pod prevents the uncontrolled decomposition that causes odor in some organic products.

The product

A blend of organic, plant-derived and ocean-derived nutrients with beneficial soil microbes, arranged in four functional compartments inside a biodegradable cellulose shell. No synthetic chemicals of any kind.
No. Even placing two pods in one pot will not cause chemical burn. The organic formulation and natural buffering make overdose impossible at any dose. This is the core design principle.
Yes. BioPod contains no synthetic chemicals, no toxic ingredients, and no plastic. The cellulose shell and all nutrient inputs are non-toxic and safe for pets, children, and soil organisms.
The shell is made from FSC-sourced wood pulp cellulose. It dissolves in soil within 30 to 90 seconds when watered, biodegrades fully, and leaves zero residue. No plastic. No microplastics.
Yes. BioPod is made entirely from organic, plant- and ocean-derived inputs with beneficial soil microbes. There are no synthetic chemicals of any kind.

Sustainability

None. The shell is biodegradable cellulose. The packaging uses compostable materials. From the pod to the pouch, there is zero plastic.
The founder tested PVA film and rejected it due to microplastic persistence concerns in soil. As an environmental scientist, she applied the same standards to the product that she applies to her research.
