Maintenance tips

To make the most of your Indoor Herbal Plant Kit, you will need to maintain it on a regular basis.

For all the varieties of herbs you grow, you will need to maintain a constant humidity of your substrate by ensuring regular watering.

Aromatic plants also need to be exposed to a minimum of natural light. Make sure each Cork Pot gets a few hours of direct sunlight every day . In winter, all you have to do is move your Cork Pots to a window sill.



In adulthood, aromatic herbs no longer have the same sun needs. It will be necessary to refer to the explanatory booklet to know the needs of each variety. For more information, do not hesitate to consult the URBAN CUISINE website where you can find all our maintenance advice for all the varieties.
