Product Information

Full details

This Gardening Naturally Kitchen Herb Pot Set is designed for home cooks and gardening enthusiasts looking to grow fresh herbs or chillies right on their windowsill. Its key benefit is providing a compact, organized, and stylish solution for indoor gardening. A minor caveat is that the 'complete kits' require expansion of the coir brick, which may be an extra step for some users. The set includes three square steel pots, a matching tray with leather-effect handles, and features drainage holes and label windows for easy plant identification and care. Available in buttercream, grey, or mint green, it offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal for any kitchen.

FAQs

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

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

Do the metal herb pots have drainage holes?

Yes, each pot is equipped with drainage holes to help prevent waterlogging. The tray is designed to catch any excess water that drains through.

How often should I water the herbs?

The tray helps the compost retain moisture evenly. Check the soil every few days. Water only when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid daily watering unless conditions are very dry.

Can the windowsill herb planter be used outside?

Yes, it can be placed outdoors during warm, mild weather to benefit from extra sunlight. It's recommended to bring it indoors during cold weather, frost, or heavy rain to protect young plants.

What are the dimensions of the pots and tray?

Each individual pot measures 10.5cm by 10.5cm. The overall tray dimensions are 10.5cm in width and 35cm in length, designed to fit most windowsills.

What type of soil does the complete kit use?

The complete kits include a coir brick, which expands to 3L when hydrated. Coir is a sustainable growing medium made from coconut husks.

What colours are available?

The set is available in three colours: grey, mint green, and buttercream, to complement different kitchen decors.

Troubleshooting

Plants are not growing well.

Ensure plants are receiving adequate light. Check that the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Verify that seeds were sown at the correct depth and have germinated.

Water is pooling in the tray.

Ensure the drainage holes in the pots are not blocked. The tray is designed to catch drips; if excessive water remains, it may indicate overwatering the plants.

Label windows are difficult to use.

Ensure labels are cut to an appropriate size to slide easily into the window slots. You can use small plant tags or strips of paper.

Pots seem to be rusting.

This set is primarily for indoor use. If used outdoors, rust may occur if left in wet conditions for extended periods. Clean with a mild abrasive and dry thoroughly. Consider a protective coating if rust becomes a persistent issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack all components: pots, tray, and any included seeds/coir.
If using the complete kit option, hydrate the coir brick according to its instructions (it typically expands with water to about 3L).
Fill the pots with your chosen growing medium (expanded coir or your own compost).
Sow seeds or transplant seedlings into the pots.
Place the filled pots onto the tray.
Insert labels into the provided windows for identification.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for indoor use on windowsills or desks, and outdoor use in mild weather.
Compatible with most standard potting composts and seeds.

Care:

Wipe the steel pots and tray clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure drainage holes are clear of debris.
If used outdoors, bring indoors during frost or heavy rain.
Periodically check the leather-effect handles for wear if exposed to harsh conditions.
