What is the most critical component of growing indoor herbs?
Light
If your herbs are growing long stems, they need more light. Find a sunny spot indoors that gets 6-8 hours of light/day. The more sun they receive the more potent the concentration of essential oil within the herb. Some herbs prefer dry conditions like a Mediterranean climate and others grow best in cool temperatures.
TIP: Rotate your pots to get the most light.
Water
Not all plants are equal when it comes to watering needs.
Tip: We recommend planting medicinal herb seeds that require like watering together.
Soil
Herbs are adaptable to most soils, but your plants will thrive with rich ,well-drained soils. (potting soil works well).

Check the plant hardiness zone map for your area if planting outdoors. Herb seeds are easy to grow in a variety of climates, and often have lovely flowers and foliage that can be mixed into your garden beds or landscape.
