“Great choice! Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started with your indoor herb garden:
- Herb Selection: Choose herbs that thrive indoors, such as basil, mint, parsley, and chives.
- Containers and Soil: Use well-draining containers and high-quality potting soil. Ensure each container has drainage holes.
- Light: Place herbs in a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily or use grow lights if natural light is insufficient.
- Watering: Water herbs when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Pruning: Regularly prune herbs to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering, which can alter the flavor.
