Indoor herbs are generally easy to care for. They tend to do best in kitchen windowsills or hanging baskets where they can get lots of sun. Having the herbs you use most growing in your kitchen keep fresh ingredients is close at hand. Adding herbs to your kitchen adds aesthetic appeal and the wonderful aroma of your favorite herbs. Another great benefit of growing herbs in cold areas during the winter is that you can extend the length of your harvest. To keep your plants healthy inside, there are some simple guidelines to follow.
First, you need to decide what herbs you want to grow. Do you want mint, thyme, oregano, celery, dill, or any of the many herbs that do well in containers? Some plants can share a pot, others should be alone because of their tendency to spread and suffocate other plants. Once you know what you really want to grow, then I suggest researching what those particular herbs need so you can keep them as healthy and happy as possible.
Also typical care houseplant and common sense are necessary in growing herbs, so keep these guidelines for all plants in mind. Regardless of the herbs you choose and the pot you want to grow them in, make sure you use good quality soil and soil to support your good herbs. As with any other plant, good soil, proper and regular watering is necessary for a healthy plant. Occasional fertilization is also useful, as long as it is more or less in mind. Yes, don’t climb.
If you buy herbs that are already established, make sure you pick a healthy plant. Check the leaves for signs of pests and diseases. Be wary of spots, yellow leaves and other signs of rash. It is much easier to grow healthy plants if the plants start there. If you start your plants from plants tend to grow in the sun, so if you don’t turn the pot. the plant will begin to lean or look one side. Turning every two days is enough to keep your grass straight and level.
Trim or harvest often. The roots are sheltered in rather than in your kitchen garden, so growth is restricted. You don’t want your poor weed to take up space to grow or get lazy or floppy in its container. To save the grass, and yourself, always trim your happy lips. This will encourage the plant to branch and in turn grow tighter.
No matter how well you take care of indoor herbs, eventually many will begin to fail. Herbs can naturally become stoned and need to be replaced. So feed and enjoy your herbs while they are in their prime.
