Editorial Review:
It is difficult to find a more delicious treat than a fresh-picked strawberry. Now you can have many right at your fingertips! This Strawberry Grow Kit is specially designed: the handcrafted porcelain pot creates the perfect environment for a growing strawberry plant.
I ended up buying this exact same pot, seed/soil and all at a local Home Depot for $9.99/tax. I provided my own strawberry plants (purchased elsewhere) and planted them in a semihydroponic media, and they're all doing well. Pot is a bit smallish, and might be better used for herbs instead of strawberries, but it does look very nice. I like that it has an attached water dish and is porcelain coated. Most strawberry pots are terra-cotta, and lose a lot of moisture through the walls. This pot will keeps the water in, and drains well.
with the exact same results.
The picture shown of strawberry plants burting out of the pot is a joke.
They could have doubled the seed count and given better care instructions on growing strawberries from seed.
- Grow strawberries anywhere!
- Comes with a beautiful porcelain pot.
- Fun for kids and parents!

Customer Reviews:
Cute, but overpriced
I ordered one of these from Amazon, and they sent one via their associate site Target.com. With shipping/tax, it cost $19.99. When it arrived, it was clear that the porcelain inside was broken - you could hear it rattling. I never opened the package, and immediately requested an RMA. Amazon, as always, provided great customer service.

Strawberry Failure
The Pot is nice and the Soil that comes with the pot is nice too. But they only give you 10 seeds which only a few germinate. The two or three that did start to grow quickly died after two weeks. I tried this twice,
with the exact same results.
