Growing Herbs Guide:

You don’t need a garden to grow herbs.
Herbs can grow almost in any kitchen near a window.

Remember to provide them with the correct light exposure, enough water and care and your herbs will flourish.

How to grow fresh herbs in your kitchen? In 3 simple steps

1. Planting pre-potted herbs or growing herbs from a cutting by placing a plant’s cut in a cup of water until it grows roots.
2. Remember that the pots need proper drainage so your herbs will not drown.
   For example, simple Terracotta pots are heavy and stable and look great.
3. Water your plants when needed. The best time to water is early in the morning. One technique to water the herbs is to place the pot on a dish and pour water into it so the soil will soak up the water as much as it needs.
4. Place your herbs in the right spot with lots of sunlight and trim them regularly.
