Overview
This self-watering grow kit features a smoked black glass planter outfitted with a passive hydroponic system known as “wicking,” which brings water and nutrients up to the plant's roots. This year-round indoor grow kit comes with everything you need to start growing. Just add water and set in a sunny window.
These tumblers make great gifts for aspiring gardeners, home chefs, organic-focused families, city dwellers and more.
Kit Includes:
- Certified Organic Genovese Basil seeds
- Smoked black semi-opaque glass tumbler
- Stainless steel net pot
- Recycled glass growing medium
- Coco pith disk
- Activated carbon
- Polypro Wick
- Plant food
- Growing instructions
FAQs:
How long does it take to grow? Basil seeds take 7-14 days to sprout, and will be ready to start harvesting in 2+ months. Continuous harvesting will encourage a bushy plant and greater yield.
How long will it last? A basil plant will continue to grow with sufficient nutrients and light; however, after 3-6 months it will develop a woody stem and the leaves will become a bit bitter.
How much sun will it need? Herbs require at least 6 hours of direct light daily, and should be put in an unobstructed window that faces south, west or east (southwest is the best option). During winter months—or if you don’t have an unobstructed window—you can supplement with a grow light.
How is the kit reusable? The stainless steel net pot and recycled glass grow medium can both be reused—simply rinse with hot water. Add new seeds and use soil or coco pith to help seeds germinate. Use a water soluble fertilizer and follow its instructions.
