Frequently Asked Quetions
Can I leave my herb in its plastic sleeve?
ItŐs best to remove the herb from its sleeve as soon as you get it home and place the pot in a shallow tray or saucer. Leaving the herb in the sleeve in a warm environment will create condensation on the plastic and this will cause the leaves to rot. Once removed from the sleeve, the plant will open up into its natural shape and the leaves will also get maximum light.
