Product Care
Slegers Greens have been grown in a greenhouse environment and are packed and sold as a living plant ready to eat. We suggest that you eat them within a few days of purchase, at their peak freshness and to enjoy full nutritional benefit.
Simply snip, rinse and enjoy.
A description and picture of each item that we grow is listed on our product pages.
Soil: There is enough nutrition in the soil of each Slegers Greens plant to sustain them for up to a few weeks in your home.
​
Each Plant and Each Environment is Unique
We carry a large selection of living greens and each plant has its own unique growing needs.
Everyone has different living environments (e.g. humidity, lighting and heat) that change as the seasons and weather cycles change.
For the above reasons, we are therefore listing general care instructions below that can apply to all of our greens and most home environments.
Care Instructions:
Remove the plant from the packaging and place on a countertop.
Keep at a temperature between 12-21°C.
Place in indirect sunlight (lighting in a room will help if there is little sunlight available).
Water when soil feels dry.
Watering Instructions:
Place plant in a saucer or bowl.
Water gently on the soil at the base of the plant.
If the plant and soil are dry the water may run through the soil and into the saucer below. If this occurs, let the plant sit in the water in the saucer for 20 minutes so that the soil can absorb the water from the bottom up and rehydrate. Follow up by draining the water from the saucer so that the soil and roots can have a chance to dry up again.
This process allows the plants to get the water they need without overwatering.
Check the plant daily to see if it needs to be watered again.
We believe products sold as a living plant are safer, more nutritious & fresher.
