Indoor herbs are more tolerant than outdoor herbs. They can tolerate moderate light and moderate watering, unlike outdoor herbs which require a lot of water and light. Although some types are more aggressive than other, it is important to plant herbs that you love, regardless of their intended use. Talking to herbs can be done, but keep it quiet as this could discourage growth and encourage disease. You must also water your plant regularly to prevent it from becoming weak.
If you want herbs to grow indoors, place them on a sill with southern exposure. If you're growing them in pots, start them off small and move them to a sunny window. After they reach the maximum size, transplant them. Keep the soil moist to prevent herbs drying out. Also, ensure the plants have constant moisture.
For potted herbs, the soil should be room temperature. Choose pots that are opaque to prevent dirt from getting trapped inside. Place the container in a sunny window. The light and the water should be in one room. Make sure you drain it to collect any water. The light should not be too intense or too few to encourage plants to grow. Your herb will not grow well if the soil is too dry.
If you are growing herbs indoors, ensure that the soil is well-drained and not dry. For herbs to thrive, they need at least 6-8 hours of light each day. They can't tolerate north-facing windows, so they'll need more light. If your room is not well ventilated or has an old window, it's best to avoid placing the plant in shade. If you are using the bathroom frequently, it can be placed in a dark corner.
You can grow potted herbs indoors in a variety containers. For best results, use a window box with a window. A small pot can hold one or two herbs while a larger box with a window can store several. However, you can choose any container you like. A window box is best for planting multiple herbs. If you have enough space, they will grow faster.
Herbs do not grow indoors. They require as much sun as possible. The best results are achieved in a location with at least six hours sunlight each day. The ideal location for this window will be a south-facing window. Make sure you have an unblocked window if you plan to grow your herbs in a south facing window. The light from a south-facing window will be sufficient for most herbs. A west-facing window is another option.
