REUSABLE
GrowCup is the worlds first reusable grow plug, which requires no growing media/substrate and can be reused 1000's of times
GROWCUP CAN BE INTEGRATED WITH EXISTING FARM AUTOMATION EQUIPMENT
WE PRODUCE A RANGE OF GROWCUP'S TO SUIT A VARIETY OF CEA/VF TECHNOLOGIES

Simply pop the cup, drop the seed, and watch it grow!
EASY TO CLEAN
Our unique silicon formula creates a surface texture easy to clean in standard CEA/VF washers. It's robust & non-reactive formula allows it to be washed 1000's time without damage or degradation, even when using oxidising agents
SAY GOODBYE TO MOULD & ALGAE
GrowCup's anti-bacterial surface prevents bacteria and other microorganisms growing on the surface, a common issue with single use substrates and plastic holding cups
NO MESSY SUBSTRATE NO PLASTIC NET CUPS
Say goodbye to single use, unsustainable substrates.
No more worrying about volatile substrate supply chains, material handling, fibre cleaning, or substrate waste costs
Help prevent CEA/VF waste together and make it sustainable
PLANT STABILITY
GrowCups's "tentacles" support root development and help stabilises the plant. Depending on your application, we can adjust the length of the tentacles to suit the plant you are growing. In fact, we can adjust our design to create a bespoke design suited for your growing needs and growing technology
OUR STORY
The GyroPlant GrowCup replaces growing media/substrates used in indoor farming. It's a simple, affordable and reusable product developing seeds from germination to harvest
Currently, substrates present a major barrier for sustainability in indoor farming
With the new GyroPlant GrowCup, no more expensive growing substrate, no more mouldy media, no more throw away plastic or rock wool, and less damage to the natural environment
Through rigorous designing and testing at our R&D testing facility, our Patent Pending GyroPlant GrowCup can be tailored to your vertical farming technology and needs

TECHNICAL SPEC
ANTI-BACTERIAL
Our rubber protects against bacterial growth - a core issue with single use natural and synthetic growing substrates
ANTI-STATIC
Anti-static assists automated seeding, preventing loss of seeds
FLEXIBLE COLOUR
We can can make GrowCup in any colour, to suit your testing and farms needs
FOOD GRADE SILICON
Our silicon rubber is food grade, unlike many plastics currently used in vertical farming processes. It's not only food safe, but will reduce plastic use in indoor farming and waste
WEAR RESISTANT
The premium food grade silicon rubber we use is very robust
WASHABLE
GrowCup can withstand high temperatures without degrading up 150 degrees
NON-REACTIVE
GrowCup silicon is non reactive to oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide, common cleaning agents in CEA and Vertical farming
