FAQ
When to plant herbs
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The best results are achieved when they are in full sunshine. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. Once the plants begin to grow properly, you should move them into bright indirect lights. After three weeks, you can transplant them to individual pots and water them every day.
Can I grow fruit trees in pots?
Yes! Fruit trees can be grown in pots if you're short on space. Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.
How many hours of daylight does a plant really need?
It depends on which plant it is. Some plants need 12 hours direct sunlight each day. Some plants prefer 8 hours of direct sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.
