Do these herbs require different amounts of water to grow? I was going to buy a beautiful 3-in-1 herb vase for mothers day.

Dear Matthew, thank you for your question. This is Lisa, the owner of Zziggysgal. These do make a lovely Mother's Day gift, for beginner gardeners, too, because each set comes with a 24-page colored, fully illustrated Growing Instruction Booklet. If they are all going to be planted together in a decorative herb planter, then here's my personal favorite method: 1) Plant much fewer seeds for each type2) Eat some ice-cream so that you can use the ice-cream sticks to write the names of the herbs and use them as plant markers3) The instructions on the seed packets will tell you how long they take to germinate, so group the different types of seeds with those that have a similar germination period.

Each herb comes with instructions in each packet. And yes, they all grow differently, but I would suggest you get the vases you want for decoration, however inside you should place the organic cups to grow until they germinate; depending on the herb, it is your choice to transplant them or not. So choose accordingly. Good luck, I hope this info helps you make the right decision.

Yes. I normally add one oz. per gal. of water. If it is mature weeds you may want to go up to 2oz. per gal.

Mine were great,too but I could not keep them growing-too much water or not enough???

Yes they do. You can use a succulent plant spray every month with watering. 17-8-22 is what I use. Good Luck, If you get into this I have a lot of babies to share.

Mine didn't have any either. I purchased it last year. I almost gave up on it. However this spring it grew three times larger and is budding it should flower in the next two weeks. Sometimes they go into shock. Give it alot of water, Part shade and some plant food.

Last year, I put 3 pepper plants in one, which worked out fine. I also put 2 tomato plants in another, as stated in other comment, one at each end. They did OK, and they both grew very large, but I'm doing only one per box this year. The root mass was, I think, too large and they seemed crammed when I took down the plants last year. In the instructions, they give you ideas but also say that it's more trial and error. I think the climate conditions have some influence on your results as well. A family member who lives in Vegas, NV, had poor results because of the extreme heat.

I just bought my first plant, and it arrived as a little tiny, but healthy plant, just about one month ago. I bought a Lady Margaret at the same time. Both are growing and appear to be healthy but the Lady Margaret is growing amazingly fast while my little Incense plant seems to be a slow grower. Both are healthy and appear to be happy. But one is really out pacing the other. I look forward to seeing both mature. Here is NC we have had a lot less sun than usual so that may be playing a part.

Yes, I currently have the same size table with 4 plants growing and they are doing fantastic. Make sure you are using a big enough container ( at least 3 gallon) for the root structure and you will be amazed.

We put more water through right after we make the first pot (without adding more leaves) so we have enough for two Mugs each. That works fine. I've never tried setting the leaves aside for longer before using them. I'd be a little afraid of moldif you left them for too long.

I have a well so I just use plain water. I had the plants outside during the summer heat to germinate, then brought them in. They almost all germinated, but I have lost a few over the winter, probably because my house is colder and dryer than they would require. I do not spray them, and I believe that this could help, but the majority of them are still thriving anyway.

I kept the flowers in a ceramic vase and changed the water every 2 days also adding new flower food. The water remained very clear. I also added about 1/2 teaspoon liquid clorox to the water each time. You may have cloudy water if you keep the original water and do not change it often.

I wanted to add this: it is at depence on the amount of soil or water in your pots, or on where you carry these pots to and how but I just know 100%-guaranteed that if you pour a lot of water into these pots and then try to carry them/it after you will see water dripping down on the floor in your room, yes it does! okay, I am sorry I couldn't be any more helpful to you?, thank you and good luck with your growing project!, thanks.

Yes, I use the miracle grow by putting the right amount to fed that Rose or plant. I like to use it about at least once a month. Keeps blooms coming and feeding and watering the roots you don't have the evaporation. I bought 2 years ago and I use these even during the heat of the day.

no if your ordering it from out grow theres already water in it. if your making your own BRF cake you would add 3 cups verm. to 1 cup flower and 1 cup water. if at all possible use water from a lake,river,stream. or from a house hold fish tank works too

Mine produced one plant - don't know why, because ordinarily everything I touch grows really well I may have too much sun in my yard. They will needsun or light (I also grow hydroponically), but may do better in some shade.

The only thing I've bought for mine is batteries for the unit that tells you when the water is low and nutrients. I bought a sample bottle of golden tree off amazon. It has everything needed by the plant for growth and flowering in one bottle. All you do is add the given amount to a gallon of water and add every 2nd time you refill the garden. Just dump any extra water out of the holding tank first. That's all I've bought for my unit. And I gotta be honest I love the golden tree nutrients n my zero soil system. It allows a single plant per container or more depending on the type of plant and size. There's a divided cover in case you have multiple herbs you're growing to keep them separated. It's small and can fit anywhere. Mine is in a window.

I've transferred these into a 1 gal pot 6 months ago and they've only grown an inch or two. Not sure why. I want then to get bigger before I put them in the ground, but something isn't working. I purchased several other plants which are doing very well. Maybe they are slow growing but they were a bad choice for us.
