Once you’ve set up your indoor herb garden, proper care is key to keeping your plants healthy and thriving. Here’s what you need to know:

Light Requirements

• Most herbs need 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. Place them near a south-facing window or use grow lights if natural light is limited.

Watering Tips

• Herbs prefer soil that’s slightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure pots have proper drainage to avoid root rot.

Temperature and Humidity

• Keep your herbs in a room with temperatures between 55°F and 70°F (13°C to 21°C).
• Use a humidity tray or mist your plants if indoor air is dry during winter.

Fertilizing

• Feed herbs with a half-strength liquid fertilizer every few weeks to support healthy growth.

Pruning and Harvesting

• Regularly prune and harvest your herbs to encourage bushy growth. Only take about one-third of the plant at a time to keep it healthy.

By following these steps, your indoor herbs will flourish, providing a fresh and vibrant addition to your meals.
