Choose Easy Herbs

Start with basil, chives, mint, oregano, and parsley. They tolerate typical indoor or balcony conditions and need minimal fuss.

Bright & Calm

Sun and Light Routine

Place herbs where they receive 4–6 hours of light daily. Rotate pots gently to keep growth even and balanced.

Water Mindfully

Watering Rhythm

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure pots have drainage to prevent soggy roots and promote calm growth.

Soil & Spacing

Herb Potting Basics

Use a light, well-draining potting mix. Provide spacing between plants to reduce competition and encourage air flow.

Care Routines

Pruning & Harvesting

Regularly trim herbs to encourage fuller growth and steady yields. Harvest leaves in the morning for best aroma.
