FAQs

Is this a pot and tray set or a complete herb growing kit?

You can choose between pots and tray only, a complete kit with herb seeds and coir, or a set with jalapeño seeds and coir. All options include the tray and pots, ready to set up.

Do the metal herb pots have drainage holes?

Yes, each pot has drainage holes to help reduce water build-up. The tray is designed to catch drips and protect your windowsill.

Do I need to water the herbs every day?

No, the tray helps retain moisture. Check the soil every few days and water only when the top feels dry.

Can the windowsill herb planter be used outside?

Yes, you can place the set outside during warm months. It's advisable to bring it indoors during cold weather to protect young plants.

What are the dimensions of the planter set?

The overall tray dimensions are 10.5cm x 35cm. Each individual pot measures 10.5cm x 10.5cm.

What types of seeds are included in the complete herb kit?

The complete herb kit includes seeds for basil, coriander, and spearmint (100 seeds of each).

What material are the pots and tray made from?

The pots and tray are made from steel.

Troubleshooting

Plants are not growing well.

Ensure pots are receiving adequate light. Check that the compost is moist but not waterlogged, and that drainage holes are clear.

Water is leaking from the tray.

Ensure the tray is placed on a level surface and that the drainage holes are not excessively blocked, causing overflow. Empty excess water from the tray regularly.

Label window is difficult to use.

Use a small, durable label or write directly onto the window with a suitable marker. Clean the window if it becomes obscured.

Handles appear worn.

Gently clean the leather-effect handles with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
