    Growing Herbs Indoor


    Indoor herb gardens not only provide fresh herbs at your fingertips, but
    also fill your home with fragrance and greenery. Growing herbs
    indoors allows you to enjoy homegrown produce whether you're short
    on garden space or just want to add a dash of green to your interior. It
    also makes cooking at home easy–whenever you need some herbs, just
    clip a few sprigs to use in a recipe or as a pretty garnish.
    But before you pot up your first plant, ensure your success by
    following these strategies for your indoor herb garden, even if you
    don't have a green thumb.
    1. Pick the Right Plants
    You may find it much easier and faster to start your indoor garden with seedlings
    from a garden shop.
    Most herbs can be grown indoors, but those that tend to really thrive inside are basil,
    chives, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary and thyme.
    2. Select a Container with Drainage
    You can plant herbs in just about any container so long as it has some type of
    drainage. The pots also need something to protect the surface underneath them like a
    saucer or round plastic protector which you can find at garden centers.
    You can use any size container you like provided the plant fits, but realize that the
    smaller the vessel, the sooner you'll have to repot.

    3. Choose the Sunniest Spot


    Most herbs prefer a lot of sunlight. That means you'll want to give your indoor herb
    garden at least six hours of sun per day to thrive. To maximize their exposure, place
    plants as close as possible to your brightest window.
    Avoid setting them in the center of a room.

    4. Water - But Not Too Much
    A small watering can or a drizzle under the sink will suffice. If the leaves begin to
    wilt or turn yellow, scale back the water. To make sure your plant grows, keep the soil
    consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
    5. Harvest a Little at a Time
    Harvest a few sprigs by pinching leaves off with your fingers. Regular cutbacks
    encourage new growth. Avoid removing more than a quarter of the plant at a time,
    which will cause distress and could even kill the plant.
