indoor herb gardening tips

Herbs are plants without a woody stem, they die at the end of each growing season. their leaves are used for flavoring, and even the roots are often used for home remedies.

For homes with gardens, this is a fairly easy task. with plenty of places to plant some seeds, and only watering from time to time while letting the sun do the rest.

For most people living in the city, the living space is more limited. so growing herbs takes a little more planning .

But do not worry, No matter Whether on your balcony or in your apartment, growing herbs is much easier than you think, just follow these tips and soon enough you will be looking into how to make homemade pesto.

Tips for gardening herbs indoors –

Check the sun:

You should know how much sun the plants will get before even bringing the pots, while most herbs are happy with less than 6 hours of sunlight like most plants are, it is preferred to give them as much sun as possible.

*If you are using the fire escape (which I do not recommend), surrounding buildings or trees might block the sunlight on some parts of the day, try keeping notes when the sun hits the spot you want to put your pot.

Check your tools:

Hydroponics Greens.





All you really need are some pots and potting soil – unless you plan to grow hydroponics.

Pots – consider the space you have before buying a pot. the bigger it is, the more herbs you will have.. of course.

Potting soil – keep your eyes on the label, do not buy garden soil – look for what is labeled “formulated for containers”.

Other tools you might need are a trowel, a water Can, herb scissors, and fertilizer will also add good value, once the herbs are established.

Get your seedlings:

Especially with indoor gardening I suggest getting sprouted plants instead of seeds, mainly because the first few days the seeds needs much more sun and attention. for me at least i attest that it is just better to leave it up to professionals.



Give each plant enough space:

Roots need their own room to grow, do not get tempted to squeeze your seedlings tightly, if they’re crowded they won’t grow as well and might even die, then both of you will be sad.

Mulching the soil:

A mulch is a layer applied to the surface of the soil, Many materials can be used as mulches, but I usually use straw or hay.

this is needed in order to retain the moisture in the soil and regulate temperature. mulching also suppresses weed growth.

Don’t give up on your sick herbs:

More often than not you will want to replace a plant because it will have all sorts of different problems, but before you get rid of a plant you should look into the reason why it is not feeling good and search online, the solution sometimes is simpler than expected.

The bottom line

Herb gardening indoors is much easier then most think, all you need is a sunny spot and some pots and you can start growing your own indoor herb garden yourself.
