FRESH GREEN
Grow your greens at home with the LG Tiiun, an urban farming unit you can keep indoors. Tiiun means “to
sprout” in Korean, an apt name for this smart gardening system that enable novice gardeners to grow vegetables,
herbs, and flowers indoors.
LG’s Flexible Weather Control System uses its renowned Inverter Compressor to adjust for optimal climate conditions, and water is delivered eight times every 24 hours.
You can even use the LG ThinQ mobile to monitor settings and receive notifications when the water tank needs refilling.
