We get it. Kitchen herbs are hard to keep alive.

If you've ever watched a perfectly good basil plant turn yellow on your counter, you're not alone.

They wilt in a week

Supermarket herbs aren't built for apartment kitchens. Poor light and inconsistent watering mean most pots die before you finish the first bunch.

Too little light

Most apartment kitchens face an interior wall or a north-facing window. Herbs need consistent light that the room doesn't provide.

Wasted money

At $3–$5 per pot, replacing wilted herbs every week adds up quickly — and you still don't have fresh basil when you need it.

Three steps. That's all.

No app, no complex setup, no gardening experience required. Place it on the counter and you're growing.

1.Fill the reservoir

Pour water into the built-in reservoir. The passive watering system draws moisture up to the roots — no schedule, no guesswork.

2.Clip on the light

Attach the compact LED light to the planter rim. A simple timer gives your herbs the consistent illumination apartment kitchens lack.

3.Insert your pods

Drop in the pre-seeded herb pods — basil, mint, coriander, or parsley. They sprout in about a week and keep producing for months.

The herbs you actually cook with

Every pod grows an everyday kitchen herb — the ones that make a Tuesday dinner feel like something. Pick what you cook with most and swap them when you're ready.

Basil— Pasta, caprese, Thai stir-fry
Mint— Tea, tabbouleh, cocktails
Coriander— Tacos, curries, fresh salsa
Parsley— Chimichurri, soups, garnish
Chives— Eggs, baked potatoes, cream cheese

Common questions

How much light does the system need?+

The clip-on LED provides all the light your herbs need. It's designed for kitchens with little or no natural sunlight — just set the built-in timer and leave it.

How often do I need to water?+

The passive reservoir holds about a week's worth of water. Check the level once a week and top it up. No daily watering, no drainage trays.

How long until herbs are ready to pick?+

Most pods sprout within 5–7 days. You can start harvesting small leaves in about three weeks, and each pod keeps producing for two to three months.

Can I skip or cancel refill deliveries?+

Yes. Skip any month or cancel anytime from your account — no penalty, no questions. You can also buy individual pods at $5 each whenever you want.

What if a pod doesn't sprout?+

It happens occasionally. Let us know and we'll send a replacement pod free of charge. Every pod is backed by our sprouting guarantee.

How much counter space does it take?+

The Starter Kit planter is about the size of a coffee mug. The Duo Kit uses two planters that sit side by side — roughly the footprint of a toaster.

Your kitchen deserves fresh herbs

Stop replacing wilted pots. Start growing herbs that last — on your counter, on your schedule, in your favourite meals.
