Back to the Roots Garden-in-a-Can, Grow Organic Basil, 2 Count We recommend ensuring the plants receive 8 full hours of sunlight (or grow bulb light) each day. Also prevent over-watering and trimming excess seedlings when they are ~1 inch tall, to allow for 2-3 of the most successful seedlings to establish into the final full plants. Ready-to-grow cans make indoor herb gardening fun and easy! Each organic basil can includes everything you need to start growing, including: organic, non-GMO seeds, nutrient rich soil, and moisture-balancing biochar all pre-blended for low-maintenance, organic herbs right on your kitchen or classroom windowsill. Just plant the organic seeds, water, and grow! With biochar, it is never been easier to grow herbs indoors. Biochar is the charred remnants of agricultural waste through a process called pyrolysis, a technique mastered by Amazonian tribes centuries ago. Biochar is very porous and holds excess moisture to prevent over- or under-watering, aerates the soil for quick root growth, and increases nutrient absorption. No need for transplanting, drainage holes, or messy trays  the biochar does the work for you, making each herb garden kit simple and fun.
