While outdoor herbs need lots of light, water, and a lot more light, indoor herbs will thrive on moderate light and moderate maintenance. You should grow the herbs you like, not just those that are aggressive. You can also try talking to your herb plants, but don't talk too loudly - this will discourage growth and encourage disease. Additionally, it is vital to water the plants regularly. A weak plant will result.
Plants that do well indoors should have a south-facing window sill. If you're growing them in pots, start them off small and move them to a sunny window. Once they are at their maximum size, it is possible to transplant them. Keep your herbs' soil moist to avoid them drying out. Also, ensure the plants have constant moisture.
For potted herbs, the soil should be room temperature. Pots should be opaque to keep dirt from getting stuck inside. The container should be placed in a sunny window. The container should be placed in a room with light and water. To catch excess water, you should place it in a drain. The light should not be too intense or too few to encourage plants to grow. Your herb won't thrive if it is too dry.
When growing herbs indoors, make sure that the soil is properly moist and not too dry. Proper growth of herbs requires 6-8 hours of bright sunshine each day. They don't like north-facing windows so will need more sunlight. If you have an old window or a poorly ventilated room, you should avoid placing the plant in the shade. If you have to use the bathroom often, you can also place it in an unlit corner.
Potted herbs can be grown indoors using a variety of containers. You will get the best results if you use a box that opens to a window. A small pot can hold one or two herbs while a larger box with a window can store several. However, you have the option to choose any container. If you're planting multiple herbs, use a window box or a window. You will find it easier to grow them if there is enough space.
Herbs grow indoors and need as much sunlight as possible. For best results, choose a location that gets at least six hours of sunlight per day. South-facing windows will work best. 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. Alternately, you could grow your herbs from a west-facing windows.
