FAQs
How long does it take for the herbs to grow?
Germination times vary depending on the herb type. Generally, you can expect to see sprouts within 1-3 weeks. Full maturity will take several weeks.
How often do I need to water the house?
The self-watering system regulates the water supply. Refill the reservoir when it's nearly empty. This usually takes a week or two, but it varies depending on the environmental conditions and plant type.
Can I use different types of seeds?
Yes, you can experiment with other herb seeds. However, ensure that the seeds are suitable for indoor growing and follow their specific instructions.
What kind of light do the herbs need?
Herbs need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If you don't have enough natural light, consider using a grow light.
How do I harvest the herbs?
Snip the leaves or stems as needed, leaving some of the plant to continue growing. Avoid taking too much at once.
What should I do if the herbs get too big?
You can transplant the herbs into a larger pot or container to provide more space for growth.
Is the ceramic house dishwasher safe?
No, the ceramic house should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
What is the lifespan of the kit?
The ceramic house can be used repeatedly. The lifespan depends on the care and use. You may need to replace the compost discs and seeds over time.
