When the water level indicator reads "min.". That happens about every 8 to 9 days, less often with young plants.
The nutrient fertilizer runs on its own beat: one pre-portioned packet every 10 days. All in all, maybe 2 minutes of effort every 10 days.
No. The light bar on top is the artificial sun for the plants, except that it gives them more energy than natural sunlight does. The Kitchenforest is made for every kitchen, including those without windows.
The artificial sun should always hover about 10 cm, a good hand's width, above the herbs.
No. Simplicity is our standard. Plug in, light on, done.

14.5 cm wide, so it even fits on any windowsill.

The light should not make any noticeable noise. If yours does, get in touch. We will replace your light under our 3-year guarantee.
The Kitchenforest light is bright and strong, to give the plants the energy for extra-fast growth. It runs on an 18-hour cycle, including a simulated sunrise and sunset. If the light is ever too bright in the evening, a built-in dimmer switch dims the artificial sun and switches to warm 2,200K light. If you forget to switch it back, no problem. After a few hours it switches back by itself, so growth and the cycle are not interrupted.
