Growing herbs indoors makes it possible to have fresh and aromatic spices and medicinal plants at hand all year round. In this article, we explore the fascinating world of growing herbs indoors and provide practical tips for a successful start.

1. the right choice: Which herbs are suitable for growing indoors?

• Basil
• Garden cress
• Coriander
• Mint
• Parsley
• Rosemary
• Sage
• Chives

2. the ideal location

The ideal place for growing herbs is a bright spot such as a windowsill. However, radiators can dry out the soil or damage the roots, so care should be taken.

3. care and harvesting: tips for healthy and aromatic herbs

The herbs should be watered and fertilized regularly so that they have enough nutrients. However, waterlogging should be avoided at all costs to prevent rotting.

As perennial culinary herbs are adapted to different seasons, they should be given a rest in winter so that they can grow well again the following year. Ideally, a room with less light and temperatures of around 0°C is suitable for this. During this time, the herbs should be watered very little and not fertilized.

Of course, the harvest must not be forgotten either. It is important that branches are regularly harvested from the herbs. In this way, the plants can continue to branch out and grow. The exact time of harvest is different for each type of herb and should therefore be researched individually.

4. choosing the right vessel

To prevent waterlogging, you should use a pot with a drainage hole so that excess water can drain away.

Also, no more than four individuals of each herb species should be planted per pot so that the plants have enough space.
