FAQs
How often should I water my herbs?
Water when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 1-3 days depending on the environment.
How much sunlight do my herbs need?
Most herbs need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If natural light is insufficient, use a grow light.
When can I start harvesting my herbs?
You can start harvesting when the plants are a few inches tall, typically a few weeks after germination.
Can I use fertilizer?
The provided compost is nutrient-rich, so fertilizer is generally not needed initially. However, you can use a diluted liquid fertilizer every few weeks if needed.
What should I do if my herbs get too tall?
Pinch off the top of the herbs to encourage bushier growth. This also allows you to harvest the herbs for use.
Can I transplant the herbs to a larger pot?
Yes, once the herbs are well-established, you can transplant them to a larger pot if desired. Be gentle with the roots during the transplanting process.
How long will the seeds last?
The seed packets should be used within a year for best results. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not germinating.
Ensure the soil is consistently moist and the pot is in a warm, well-lit location. Be patient, as germination can take a few weeks.
Herbs are wilting.
Check the soil moisture level. If the soil is dry, water thoroughly. If the soil is too wet, reduce watering and ensure proper drainage.
Herbs are not growing vigorously.
Ensure the herbs are receiving adequate sunlight. If necessary, consider using a grow light. Also, ensure the herbs are not overcrowded.
