"Auk Mini is the smaller sibling to Auk's original six-pot system, a four-pot hydroponic planter that has already sold more than 100,000 units. The base is now available wrapped in natural cork, alongside oak and walnut finishes, turning the planter into something closer to furniture than a gadget. It ships with a 100-day money-back guarantee and has won awards from T3 and Esquire, but the story is the cork and how it changes presence."
"The core hardware is a 17.5 × 8.5 inch base with four oval pots over a 0.8 gallon reservoir, flanked by wooden uprights holding a full-spectrum LED bar. There is no pump or app; you fill the tank, add nutrients, set the light cycle, and plants wick water through coco fiber. The light runs a long "summer day" schedule, and you top up water every week or two, checking the side wheel that turns red when empty."
"The material mix uses recyclable ABS for the base, recycled aluminum for the light, and American timber for the uprights, then adds the cork wrap. Cork brings warmth, texture, and a sustainable story, softening the white plastic and metal into something that feels at home next to cutting boards and ceramics. The oak and walnut options do a similar job, but cork has a quieter, more neutral presence that works across more interiors."
Auk Mini is a compact four-pot hydroponic indoor garden with a 17.5 × 8.5 inch base and a 0.8 gallon reservoir. The system uses coco fiber wicks; there is no pump or app. Users fill the tank, add nutrients, set a full-spectrum LED light schedule, and top up water weekly or biweekly using a side wheel indicator that turns red when empty. The base is offered in recyclable ABS with oak, walnut, or cork finishes and recycled aluminum and American timber elements. The unit ships with basil and parsley seeds, avoids pod lock-in, and yields herbs in four to six weeks.
