Choose the Perfect Location 
Find a sunny spot in your home or balcony that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Herbs thrive in sunlight, so make sure they get enough to grow strong and flavorful.
Choose your favorite herbs based on your culinary preferences. Popular choices include basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, mint, and cilantro. Pick up small starter plants or grow them from seeds for a rewarding experience.
Opt for containers with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Use pots, planters, or even repurpose old containers like jars or tin cans. Ensure they have drainage holes or add a layer of gravel at the bottom for proper water flow.
Use a well-draining potting mix or create your own by mixing equal parts of compost, garden soil, and perlite or sand. This will provide the herbs with the nutrients they need to thrive.
Gently remove the herbs from their nursery pots and loosen the roots. Dig small holes in the soil of your containers and place the herbs, making sure they’re at the same depth as before. Space them adequately to allow room for growth.
💦 Water the herbs thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil is evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. As your herbs grow, water them when the top inch of soil feels dry. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks to promote healthy growth.
Once your herbs have grown to a sufficient size, start harvesting! Pinch off the leaves or stems as needed, promoting bushier growth. Freshly picked herbs will add a burst of flavor to your dishes, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.
Keep an eye on your herb garden and remove any weeds that may appear. Prune regularly to maintain a compact and healthy plant. If pests become an issue, try organic pest control methods like neem oil or companion planting with pest-repelling plants.
