Most Back to the Roots kids' grow kits are labeled “All Ages,” while some specify an age minimum such as “5 years and up.” Check the specific kit label for exact age guidance.
Kits include a range of plants and seeds such as mixed varieties, strawberries, microgreen mixes (broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, cabbage), lettuce, zinnias, cosmos, and marigolds.
Germination times vary by plant and kit but generally range from about 3 to 30 days. Reported days to maturity across kits typically fall roughly between 7 and 30 days, depending on the plant.
Light recommendations depend on the plant. Common instructions include “Full Sun,” “Indirect Sun,” or a “Sun/Shade mix,” so follow the kit’s specific guidance for the plants included.
Some kits include reusable components like trays or lids and offer refill seed packs or refills for repeated grows. Other kits provide seed packets intended for multiple grow cycles rather than reusable hardware.
Microgreen kits grow quickly: germination is typically around 3–5 days with harvest in about 7 days. The microgreen mixes commonly contain broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, and cabbage seeds.
