Growing Herbs Indoors
Having no outdoor space is no excuse for not growing herbs. All you need is a sunny window sill or a very bright corner somewhere. The smaller herbs like parsley or chives don't take up a lot of space and can be grown anywhere.
Conservatories or sunny porches are of course also ideal for this purpose. If you don't have ideal light conditions you can help your herbs with some horticultural grow lights as an additional light source. This is particularly useful during the dull winter months.
Soft leggy growth is a sign of not enough light. Plants kept in conditions like that are weak and more prone to diseases and pests.
Tips to Maximize Your Window Space:
Use hanging baskets or a hanging window shelf. This can double your growing space and allows for plenty of light for all the herbs. The use of grow lights for plants allows you to grow herbs indoors even if the light conditions are not ideal.
Here is a list of herbs that are suitable for growing indoors:
- Basil
- Bay Leaf
- Chives
- Cress
- Dill
- Lemon Balm
- Marjoram
- Mint
- Oregano
- Rosemary
- Sage
