A Hydroponic Kit is a self-contained growing method which grows plants using water, enriched with nutrients, rather than using soil. Typically, hydroponic systems require water, nutrient solution, inert growing medium (a growing medium that does not contribute nutrients but supports the plant), and a system to ensure the nutrient reach water can reach the roots.

The Setup - The wine bottle is cut in half. The bottom half holds a nutrient-enriched water solution, while the top half (turned upside down) becomes the growing chamber.

The Wicking System - Inside the top half, clay pebbles (inert growing medium) provide structure and airflow. A wicking strip runs from the pebbles down into the water below, gently drawing moisture upwards.

The Growing Medium - On top of the clay pebbles sits a coir tab, this is where your seeds are planted. The wicking strip keeps the coir tab moist, ensuring your seeds have a steady water supply.

Germination - After sowing your seeds, pop on the lid to create a mini greenhouse effect. This helps lock in warmth and humidity for faster germination.

Sunshine & Growth - Once your seeds begin to sprout, remove the lid and place your Bottle Botanics kit somewhere bright, a kitchen windowsill works perfectly. From here, your herbs will continue to grow with minimal effort, thanks to the clever self-watering design.
