Which membership is right for me?
Vext+ with pod discount
This membership is perfect if you want flexibility and don’t mind a bit of hands-on planning. You only pay for pods when you need them, which is great if you like to grow at your own pace, skip seasons, or even make your own pods. The upfront cost is lower, and you still get full access to the Kare AI assistant for support with growing, cabinet use, or even food-related tips.
Just keep in mind that you’ll need to manually reorder pods when you're running low, and over the course of the year, this option may end up costing about 10% more than the bundled alternative.
Vext+ with included pods
This version is designed for ease and value. You'll receive a curated pod delivery three times a year—just choose what you want, and we handle the rest. It’s the lowest-effort way to keep your garden growing year-round, and the included pods and nutrients come with our biggest discount.
It does come with a larger upfront payment and a bit less flexibility in timing, but if you prefer convenience and a more hands-off experience, this is the better choice.
How often do I get new plant pods?
With the "Vext+ with Pods & Nutrients" option, you’ll receive 27 plant pods and a nutrient refill set delivered to you every four months.
If you ever need extra pods or nutrients in between deliveries, you can purchase them at a 30% discount—anytime.
When does my membership start?
Your membership starts when you activate it for the first time. From that point, all Vext+ members get access to the features. If you’ve chosen the “Vext+ with Included Pods” option, you’ll also be able to select the pods for your first delivery.
