To start a herb garden indoors, you will need the following:
-
Choose the right location: Herbs require at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, so choose a sunny spot like a windowsill.
-
Choose the right herbs: Some herbs that grow well indoors include basil, mint, parsley, chives, and thyme.
-
Use the right containers: Make sure the containers have drainage holes to prevent overwatering. You can use pots, containers, or even mason jars.
-
Use quality soil: Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for herbs.
-
Water properly: Herbs like to be evenly moist, so water when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch.
-
Fertilize: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks to help your herbs thrive.
-
Harvest regularly: Harvesting your herbs will encourage new growth and keep your plants healthy.
By following these steps, you can start and maintain a successful herb garden indoors.
