FAQs

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

You can choose from three options: pots and tray only, a complete kit with herb seeds (basil, coriander, spearmint) and coir, or a kit with jalapeno seeds and coir. All options include the tray and pots.

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 any drips.

How often should I water the herbs?

The tray helps maintain moisture, so check every few days. Water only when the top layer of compost feels dry to the touch.

Can the windowsill herb planter be used outside?

Yes, you can place the set outdoors during warm months. Bring it inside during cold weather to protect your plants.

What are the dimensions of the pots and tray?

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

What material are the pots and tray made from?

The pots and tray are made from steel.

What colours are available?

The set is available in grey, mint green, or buttercream.

Troubleshooting

Plants are not thriving

Ensure adequate light and water. Check if drainage holes are clear. If using your own compost, consider adding a suitable plant fertilizer.

Water is not draining effectively

Check that the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Ensure the pots are not sitting in standing water for extended periods on the tray.

Tray is overflowing

Water more slowly and allow excess to drain into the tray before refilling. Empty the tray if it becomes too full.

Label windows are difficult to write on

Use a permanent marker or a small plant label that can be inserted into the window area.
