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 coir brick and herb seeds (basil, coriander, spearmint), or a set with coir block and jalapeno seeds. Each option includes 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. Keep the pots on the tray to catch drips and protect your windowsill.

Do I need to water the herbs every day?

No, the tray helps retain water so the compost stays evenly moist. Check every few days and add water only when the top feels dry.

Can the windowsill herb planter be used outside?

Yes, you can place the set outside in warm months. Bring it indoors during cold weather to protect young 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 colors are available?

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

Are labels included for the pots?

The pots feature label windows for identification, but blank labels or writing materials are not included.

Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

This product is for planting and does not have an 'on/off' switch. Ensure plants are adequately watered and placed in suitable light conditions.

Poor plant growth

Check that plants are receiving adequate sunlight. Ensure the compost is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Verify that drainage holes are not blocked.

Water leaking from the tray

The tray is designed to catch drips. Ensure the pots are not overwatered to the point of overflowing the tray. Empty excess water from the tray as needed.

Difficulty identifying herbs

Use the provided label windows. You can write directly on the window with a suitable marker or insert small, custom-made labels.
