This rustic planter jar allows you to easily grow basil from the comfort of your own home with minimal maintenance requirements. Simply follow the included instructions and you'll have a basil plant growing in no time! The planter works by holding your basil and they grow medium in a net pot with a wick that feeds water to your basil. The plant is moisturized at just the right rate to encourage growth, but not enough to drown the plant. Just make sure your basil gets enough sunlight, and occasionally refill the jar with water and plant food. Basil is a very popular seasoning herb for meats and almost any Italian dishes. Fresh basil will make these foods even better, as well as livening up your home.
