A deep dive into the world of windowsill gardening

What Is It?

Urban Leaf’s Windowsill Garden Kits are ridiculously easy to use. It’s like having a full-time plant sitter that you don’t have to pay. Your plants will water and feed themselves for up to a month at a time. #GreenThumbNotRequired

Getting Started

Setting up your Windowsill Garden takes about 60 seconds:

1. Find a dark green or brown glass bottle. A 750 ml bottle is ideal. Red wine bottles work well. This blog contains more info on finding the perfect bottle.
2. Rinse the bottle thoroughly and fill it to the top with tap water.
3. Place one of the inserts that come with the kit into the bottle.
4. Place your seeds according to the instructions on the packet.
5. Apply a germination sticker, then place the bottle in a sunny window.

Your work here is done. Now sit back and watch it grow.

Here’s Where The Magic Happens

1. The engineered smart soil includes a specially formulated plant nutrient mix, providing all the food your plants need for 5-6 months.
2. The smart soil’s sponge-like texture allows it to absorb water from the bottle and deliver it straight to the seeds, ensuring they get just the right amount of water.
3. As your plant matures, its roots will grow out through the smart soil and into the bottle, where it waters itself so you don’t have to.

Using a 750 ml bottle, you won’t need to refill the water for a month. So, focus on yourself without worrying about killing another plant. Those days are gone.

Our product uses ‘hydroponic’ (soil-free) growing technology. The structural support that plants usually get from soil is provided by our casing and its placement in the neck of the bottle. The nutrients typically sourced from soil come from the water, which is enhanced with our plant food. Soil is so last year.
