Give your kitchen bench a living centrepiece. The LaNiTex Smart Microgreen Growing Kit (Wooden) is a self-watering microgreen growing kit that turns seed into a tray of fresh, nutrient-packed microgreens — broccoli, radish, sunflower, pea and more — in roughly 7 to 14 days, while the timed full-spectrum LED quietly does the work. It works just as well as a micro herbs growing kit: the same kit raises the herb microgreens known as micro herbs, like basil and coriander, for fresh kitchen garnish.

Because microgreens are cut so young, they pack plenty in — a study of 25 varieties found them generally higher in vitamins and carotenoids than the fully grown plants (USDA / University of Maryland research, Xiao et al. 2012).

Why you'll love this countertop microgreen growing kit

• A tray of microgreens in 7–14 days. The controlled light and moisture get seeds sprouting fast and growing evenly, so harvest comes around in a week or two.
• Rinse the roots in seconds. Lift out the inner basket and the whole root mass washes clean in one motion — no soil, no scrubbing.
• Waters itself. The reservoir keeps the mat evenly damp and takes the over- and under-watering guesswork away, so the kit happily runs for days unattended.
• Light on a timer. The full-spectrum LED follows an automatic day/night cycle that stands in for sunshine — no bright windowsill needed, nothing to switch.
• A stronger start under the dome. The blackout germination cover holds in the dark, humid conditions that lift early sprouting rates.
• Looks like furniture. Food-safe, hard-wearing materials wrapped in a warm wood-grain finish that suits a natural, considered interior.

What's in the box

• Wood-grain base with built-in self-watering reservoir
• Lift-out inner growing basket (the 2-second root-rinse)
• Automatic full-spectrum LED grow light with timer
• Blackout germination dome
• Biodegradable transplant bags
• 2 starter grow mats

Two starter grow mats come in the box so you can sow on day one — all you add is seed. The germinating growing mat is the soil-free surface the seeds sit on; top up with the 10-pack once the starters are spent.

How to grow microgreens in 7–14 days

1. Sow — scatter seed evenly over a damp mat in the basket, then fill the reservoir.
2. Cover — sit the blackout dome on top and leave it dark for 3–5 days while the seeds wake up.
3. Light — take the dome off and switch on the LED; it keeps its own daily rhythm from there.
4. Top up — refresh the reservoir every few days and the mat wicks moisture up to the roots.
5. Harvest — snip just above the mat at 7–10 days (radish, broccoli) or 10–14 days (sunflower, pea), for roughly 80–120 g a tray.

We test-grew trays before listing, so the 7–14-day window and ~80–120 g yield above reflect our own runs, not estimates.

Black vs Wooden — which kit is right for you?

Why the Wooden edition costs more: the extra goes into the premium wood-grain finish — the growing engine is exactly the same as the Black Metal kit, with the same automated LED, self-watering reservoir and 7–14-day harvest. Pick the Wooden kit if you want a natural-material piece that sits well in a warm, timber-toned room.

Where to get microgreen seeds in Australia

The kit is the hardware — seed is bought separately. Any untreated microgreen or sprouting seed from an Australian supplier will do. Unsure where to start? The free Australian guides below pair each crop with its seeding rate and harvest window.
