Each grow kit has a slightly different setup. Follow these steps for best results:

FAQ & Troubleshooting

🚫 Seeds Not Sprouting?

✅ Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy – drying out even once can stop germination.

✅ Ensure the correct light requirement – Some seeds need light exposure (basil, lavender), while others prefer darkness.

✅ Be patient! Some seeds, like lavender and rosemary, can take up to 4 weeks to sprout.

🍄 Mold on Soil?

✅ Reduce moisture – If soil is too wet, let it dry slightly before watering again.

✅ Increase airflow – Remove humidity covers for a few hours each day.

✅ Sprinkle a thin layer of cinnamon on top of the soil (natural antifungal).

🌱 Leggy Seedlings (Too Tall & Weak)?

✅ Increase light exposure – Seedlings stretch when they don’t get enough light.

✅ Rotate the planter daily to encourage even growth.

💧 Overwatering Symptoms (Yellow, Mushy Leaves)?

✅ Reduce watering – Only water when the soil feels dry to the touch.

✅ Check for standing water – If the planter retains too much water, mix in some perlite or fresh soil for drainage.

Additional Pro Tips

🌱 Pro Tip #1

Use Filtered Water for Best Results

If possible, use filtered water instead of tap water, especially if your area has hard water. Hard water contains minerals that can slow down germination or affect sensitive young sprouts. For herbs and delicate flowers, this can make a big difference! If you’re unsure about your water quality, check out our FAQ page for more details on proper watering techniques.

🌱 Pro Tip #2

Create a Mini Greenhouse for Faster Germination

Seeds thrive in a warm, humid environment. To help speed up germination, place a clear plastic or glass container over your grow kit, leaving a small opening for airflow. This is especially helpful for herbs, flowers, and slow-germinating plants like lavender and rosemary. Make sure to remove the cover for about an hour daily to allow fresh air in and prevent mold growth.

🌱 Pro Tip #3

Give Your Plants a Nutrient Boost

Once your plants are established, consider adding a small amount of organic fertilizer or mixing in nutrient-rich soil to keep them growing strong. This is especially beneficial for fast-growing herbs like basil and cilantro, or leafy greens. Avoid over-fertilizing, as young plants are sensitive to too many nutrients!

🌱 Pro Tip #4

Repurpose & Replant Your Sprigbox Planter

Once your plants outgrow their Sprigbox, replant them in a larger container with fresh soil. You can also reuse the wooden cube by adding your own soil and seeds, or get creative—use it as a pen holder, keepsake box, or decorative piece!

🌱 Pro Tip #5

Don’t Plant Too Deeply

Most seeds should be planted no deeper than twice their size. Some seeds, like basil and wildflowers, need light to germinate and should be lightly pressed into the surface rather than buried. Always check the Planting Depth recommendation on your seed packet.

🌱 Pro Tip #6

Be Patient—Some Seeds Take Longer to Germinate

Not all seeds sprout at the same speed! Fast germinators like basil and cilantro may sprout in 5-7 days, while slower growers like lavender and rosemary can take 2-4 weeks. Keep the soil moist and warm, and don’t give up too soon!

🌱 Pro Tip #7

Rotate Your Planter for Even Growth

If your plant seems to lean toward the light, rotate the planter every few days to promote even growth. This is especially helpful for sun-loving plants like sunflowers and herbs.
