Product Information

If space is an issue in your home — or if you simply like the look of hanging pots — then SkyPots is the way to go. With a kit, you’ll save time and be rewarded with thriving herbs you can use for cooking or just to add greenery to your space. And they make a fun gift for all ages – from cooks to kids who want to get started growing their own herbs. For optimal plant growth, the LED lamp has a 16 hours on/8 hours off cycle to mimic natural sunlight. The height of the lamp is adjustable and comes with two extendable arms so you can create more space for your plants as they grow. Although this kit comes with three basil pods, the company offers more than 50 varieties of plant refill capsules to choose from. You can also use your own seeds by purchasing the Grow Anything Plant Pods if you prefer. We tested the AeroGarden Bounty Basic, a great choice if you have the space and want to grow a slightly larger indoor garden system with nine pods. While it doesn't offer an advanced display screen, it comes with nine plant pods, a larger water basin, and a grow light that can be adjusted up to 24 inches to grow taller veggies and herbs.

The light is timed to be on for 16 hours a day, and can get quite warm to the touch, but this can be adjusted, turned off or dimmed if you prefer. Due to the white exterior, discolouration from algae is more noticeable. Akarina recommends refreshing the water in the culture trays and wiping them down with a cloth if it becomes excessive. Akarina 01 is the flagship model, but there are two others available that are cheaper and just as aesthetically pleasing.We’ve looked at the different types of herb garden kits that you can buy – and they can be easily categorized. Normally when you start growing herbs, you either buy a kitchen garden herb kit, or you buy a kit for specific herbs after all there’s no point buying herb kits for herbs that you don’t use! The herb garden kits that we’ve selected include seeds for the most commonly grown herbs in the UK and at the end of this guide to herb growing kits, we’ll cover the best individual herb growing kits. Best Self-Tending Herb Garden Kits / Self Watering Herb Kits Plantation, created by Polish artist and designer Alicja Patanowska, is slightly different to the other hydroponics kits we tested. It comprises four different ceramic pots that can be placed in or under a variety of standard-sized drinking glasses, and is ideal for growing plants such as garlic, onion, potato, herbs or even an avocado, or the perfect solution for rooting grafts. This method of growing allows both stem and roots to be seen so the entire process can be observed. One of the pots can also be turned upside down to create a mini greenhouse ideal for germination. Nutrients aren’t provided but they can of course be used. Though the SkyPots kit doesn't include pots or seeds, this gives you the versatility to choose pots that match your design preferences and grow the specific herbs you want. Depending on how much direct sunlight your kitchen or indoor space can offer, you'll want to choose herbs accordingly. Basil and dill, for instance, love lots and lots of sunlight, while mint and chives do well in conditions with less light. Botanium is a “smart” plant pot that automatically waters your plants for you several times a day, meaning no over or under watering, and less fuss and more growth. The water tank lasts several weeks, and features a handy window on one side so you can easily see when it needs topping up. Instead of submerging the plants in water, Botanium uses a porous growing medium that retains a lot of water without draining the roots, while also providing an aerated environment for the roots, meaning faster growth and more control. Garden Republic’s indoor herb kit is adorable. Herbs grow in small burlap grow bags, which fit perfectly into the wooden box the kit is shipped in. This is a great option if you’re looking for a garden gift to give a friend or loved one.

Easy to use control panel says when to add water, reminds you when to add plant food, and automatically turns lights on and off! North-facing, sunny windows are ideal for indoor herb gardens. The majority of kitchen herbs are Mediterranean, while others grow in full sun in milder climates. Either way, they will thrive with the right amount of water in full sun in the kitchen. Indoor herb gardens work, provided you don’t rely entirely on the base instructions. Every plant has different requirements, in terms of soil, watering, and light. So for basil, you’ll need more moisture, but excellent drainage, while sage, mint, and rosemary will thrive in most conditions provided they don’t sit in damp soil. Some systems require more maintenance than others. If your system is soil-based, you should invest in a self-watering option that keeps it from drying out, according to Angela Judd, founder of Growing in the Garden and author of “ How to Grow Your Own Food.” You can also look for features like a built-in irrigation system and timed LED light rings that make for minimal maintenance during the week. However, it’ll likely come with a higher price point. The three-step germination kit makes this unit very easy to set up (although it's important to note that seeds are not included). Other convenient features include a window, so you can easily monitor how much water is in the tank, and an adjustable lamp head that can accommodate plants in various growth stages. We have read some reports of parts breaking within a short period of time, specifically the water pump. Be sure to take advantage of the one-year warranty if you encounter any problems or defects.
