Kits typically include organic seeds, soil or soil disks, a pot or tray, and instructions (some kits also include fertilizer or a planter). Germination times vary by type: microgreens 3–5 days, sunflowers about 5–10 days (often ~7 days), and lavender roughly 14–28 days.
The succulent and cacti blend contains perlite and horticultural sand to improve drainage and aeration, plus aged bark and dolomitic limestone to improve soil structure and pH stability.
Many mixes are described as peat-free and are made using upcycled plant matter and wood fines instead of imported peat. Some listings highlight renewable or recycled content and note OMRI certification where applicable.
Light needs depend on the kit: sunflowers and lavender call for full sun, while microgreens are listed as requiring indirect light.
The indoor potting mix includes coconut coir and yucca extract for moisture management, perlite for improved drainage, and is formulated without bark or compost—features noted to make it less prone to indoor gnats.
