What should I grow with my Oasesbox?

You can use your Oasesbox® for almost every plant, with or without a grow bag. It can be used for mature and young plants and seeds. The reduced watering frequency is a benefit, especially for water-loving plants, but every plant loves an even water supply. It is possible to combine different plants in one Oasesbox® if they prefer similar watering conditions.

Examples of water-loving plants

Vegetables: tomato, cucumber, lettuce, pepper, beans, spinach, mangold spinach, beetroot, courgette (zucchini), peas, spring onions, leek.
Herbs: basil, chives, dill, parsley, mint, lemon balm.
Flowers: begonia, busy Lizzie, geranium, lobelia, petunia, sweet peas.

Examples of plants requiring a drier environment

Vegetables: cauliflower, collard, kale, aubergine (eggplant), red radish, quinoa, turnip, artichoke, chillies
Herbs: dill, lemon grass, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme.
Fruit: blackcurrant, blueberry, gooseberry, raspberry, red currant, strawberry.
Shrub: azalea, camellia, hydrangea, magnolia, rhododendrons, roses.

What should I NOT try to grow with the Oasesbox®

The Oasesbox® is not the first choice for plants which will grow large since there is potentially not enough space for their roots in the Insert. The Oasesbox® is suitable for younger trees, or shrubs.

It is also not designed for deep-rooting plants or vegetables like white radish or asparagus.
