How many seeds do I need to plant?

We recommend planting 7-10 seeds spaced evenly around the jar opening. If you planted the whole packet already, no problem. You may just have a few more seedlings to trim in the next couple of weeks.

My seed packet has more than 10 seeds - what do I do with them?

Our seed packets always come with extra seeds for you to save for another planter of yours!
Why push the seeds (.6 cm) into the grow medium?

Your seeds need a warm, moist environment to germinate, and the light blanket of soil is perfect for that. If left uncovered, the seeds may not be moist enough to sprout, but push them too far into the soil and they may never have the chance to peek their heads up. Weve found that is the goldilocks of depths not too shallow, not too deep, but just right!

How long is 0.6 cm?

Use the width of your pinky nail as an estimate for 0.6cm.

What will happen to my seeds when they germinate?

The germination process is the very beginning of your seeds turning into full plants. From Day 7 to Day 14 of growing you should start to see small seedlings appearing from underneath the soil and begin turning into sprouts.

How long will it take to grow?

Our seed packets state that seeds should germinate within 2 weeks, and will be ready to start harvesting in 2+ months. Continuous harvesting will encourage a bushy plant and greater yield. If thats not the case for you it may be due to non ideal environmental conditions. If temperatures are below 12 C for most of the day or if your jar isnt getting much light, your seeds may germinate slowly or not at all. This is why weve given you extra seeds! Try planting the leftover seeds for better luck. If none of these tips work for you, just contact us and we'll happily help you out!

Do I need to transplant my mint or basil plant into a larger container?

No transplanting necessary! Your mint will have plenty of room to grow inside the jar.

How long will my herb plant last?

A basil plant will continue to grow with sufficient nutrients and light; however, after time it will develop a woody stem and the leaves will become a bit bitter.
