Torn Opened Box!
4 Stars
Torn Opened Box!
Last night, I read many reviews and watched several videos before buying these 'Back to the Roots Cherry Tomato Organic Windowsill Planter Kits'. Overall, I cannot rate them at this time; however, I just want to mention that when they arrived one box was sealed normally but the other box had been torn opened and one of the JoJo spikes had been broken in half. I do not if the soil was tampered with, and everything that was included in both kits was present, so I will still try the products. I will also add pictured updates as the growing process goes on. However, I do love the idea of windowed plants in jars. It is reminds of my grandmother's place with its huge windows and wide windows seals.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t believe the bad reviews!
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020
I don't really like to write product reviews but decided to write one based on how I almost didn’t purchase the product because of some of the negative reviews on here. Even when I received the product, I was still skeptical because it was just a jar of dry soil and some seeds with very simple instructions. I took a chance and decided there wasn’t much to lose in trying. I followed the instructions and waited.

The seeds took a while to sprout, about 2 weeks, but I was able to get 6 seedlings going. I followed the instructions and began to thin out the seedlings at ~3 inches of height, leaving only one plant in the jar. I moved some of the other seedlings to other planters, but they don’t seem to grow as well as the one left in the jar.

Here are some tips, because I’m sure some of the bad reviews did not follow the instructions well enough. Thai peppers, like most spicy peppers, require very warm environments to grow. I live in New York, and started growing these in March, so it was still fairly cold. I happen to have grow lights so I stuck them under the grow light at night. In addition, I put the jar at a southern facing window where the sun exposure is abundant. Also, keep the lid on the jar until the seedlings sprout!! This is very important because it keeps the jar warm and humid for better germination! Watering is also very important because Thai peppers do not like dry soil. It’s also easy to keep track of the soil because the jar is clear. Don’t be afraid to thin out the other seedlings too! This plant needs a lot of space and you’ll be better off having one strong plant rather than five weak ones.

My pepper plant is growing so well, can’t wait for it to start flowering! I attached a picture after I thinned out all the other seedlings, leaving just one plant in the jar.

Update: peppers are growing great and ripening well too! :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money and DIY this yourself for basically free!
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022
I set mine own DIY up before even seeing this was a thing lol. I highly suggest after reading all the bad reviews on these to just do it yourself! Mine are doing great now! The wilting stopped as soon as I made a cover out of a 2L bottle for them. My plants are now almost as tall as the bottle covers so I'll be transplanting all but one plant per container. I also started using gallon apple juice containers and 3.75" net pots cause those fit perfectly in the gallon and half gallon pickle jars. I just put a net pot upside-down on top of the apple juice container then trace around it with a marker then I use a razor blade and cut the top off the apple juice container so the net pots fit right inside. They work great! Plus it's food grade plastic so no need to worry there. They should last for years and are basically all free. For seeds I just take seeds out of store bought items which are also basically free! Save yourself a ton of money and just buy net pots and DIY. The gallon and half gallon pickle jars and apple juice containers I'm using also won't tip over nearly as easily! I did buy both of these items the tomatoes and peppers from Amazon only to be disappointed by the size of the jars and quality of the seeds. Sure they are bigger than normal Mason jars but so far the seeds provided haven't been producing anything but one plant out of the 10+ seeds I planted and I know my DIY aquaponics/ hydroponic system is obviously doing much better than just the soil like these are. So I say add some fish in the bottom and let your plants thrive! Obviously don't use any kind of growing chemicals if using fish! I'm using a bunch of Yellow Tiger Endlers as I have a huge abundance of them in my 8 aquariums I have going so just threw about 4 fish in each gallon container. I came up with the idea from my old Betta container I made about 20 years ago with the Peace Lilly on top of a vase with a Betta in the bottom back in the day when Citibank would allow those types of things on your desk at work lol. So far I'm extremely happy about the success I've been having with all my "free" grow your own food ideas over these store bought ones since I'm having much better luck with my DIY solutions. Not only with the quality of the seeds but also the size of the containers. Mine are bigger and won't tip over as easily along with won't have as many creepy crawly bugs cause I'm not using nearly as much soil and in some cases no soil at all now that I bought expanded clay balls also from Amazon. Oh and all the water I'm using on all my plants comes from my fish tanks. Hence the reason the front apple juice container water looks a little dark. I use a lot of botanicals in my tanks so the water always looks tinted yellow and I actually cleaned the bottom of one of my tanks while getting water for my new apple juice grow containers. Figured all the fish poo would be very beneficial to the plants so why waste good fertilizer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not sure what I did wrong
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023
I loved the idea of this and the whole story behind the company and I think it's awesome. I followed the directions to the letter and well....I planted as soon as I received late March or early February? And it took off! Everything was great. I started noticing gnats though. And a fuzz in the jar. I have no idea what happened (I also had seedlings of other plants in same area) the amou t of water in the directions was too much I guess and then became musty or mildew like from the humidity being inside in the window? It thought these were for indoors. Anyways once I adjusted the water i realized the gnats were living in the soil. It just wasn't flowering and looked like it was starting to die. A friend said it seemed bigger and didn't have enough room so we transferred to a bigger pot and more soil and put outside (May). I thought it was dead and broke everything dead off and tried moving to different areas of yard with different amounts of sunlight. Finally mid June it started flowering and now in July it has flourished and I had to create stakes to hold up it has grown so big. Not sure what I did wrong, I'm sure it was me ha ha, but I got my first tomato after 6 months and it was delicious! Any comments/ suggestions from the brand would be much appreciated! My thumb isn't black but it's not quite green yet either lol
