How much space does it need?+
The device is 17.6 in wide, 17.1 in deep and 17.4 in tall (44.6 × 43.5 × 44.2 cm), so it needs about the footprint of a large microwave on a standard counter — plus clearance for the front door and the removable tank at the rear right, and a standard outlet nearby.
Do I need to know how to garden?+
No. The system loads a growing recipe after you scan a tray’s QR code in the app and manages light, water, nutrients and climate itself. Your part is inserting a tray, refilling water when asked, harvesting, and cleaning between cycles.
How long does a cycle take?+
Roughly six to ten days depending on the crop, based on internal testing on current hardware. It varies with ambient conditions and the tray, so treat it as a range rather than a guarantee.
Is the app required?+
Yes. Use the app to pair Luya, start growing and check the live view or reminders. Scan the tray’s QR code in the app before loading it. Core growing continues if the connection drops; remote monitoring and notifications need connectivity.
Growing & care
What happens if a cycle fails?+
Cycles can fail: uneven germination, a dry tray, a crop left past its window. The app names the problem, says whether it is urgent and gives the next step. If a tray smells sour, feels slimy or shows fuzzy growth on the stems, discard it, clean the surfaces and start again.
How does Luya help prevent mould?+
Luya controls airflow, humidity and irrigation to help prevent mould during microgreen growing. Use intact trays and follow the cleaning instructions between cycles so the system can maintain its growing conditions.
Support & privacy
What warranty and return window does Luya X1 have?+
A two-year limited hardware warranty and a 30-day return or exchange request window from delivery. Return shipping depends on the reason; see Service & Support for conditions.
Read the full details →What about the cameras?+
The cameras observe growing trays and power the live view and time-lapse. What is captured, how long it is kept, who can see it and how to disable features is documented in the app's privacy settings.
Read the full details →Can X1 predict growth or adjust nutrition and taste?+
Luya X1 uses a visual model to observe the plants and automate growing. Biological growth prediction and nutrition or taste adjustment are planned for Luya X1 Pro, a later version; they are not included in this X1 release.
Is this a nutrition or health product?+
It is a food-growing appliance. We publish research about microgreens with sources, and we are explicit about what has not been established. Nothing LUYA sells is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
