how to grow herbs indoors

Grow herbs indoors by providing 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight or supplemental LED lighting, using well-draining pots, and watering only when the top inch of soil is dry.

Provide adequate light. Light is the most critical factor. Most herbs require 6 to 8 hours of direct sun. If your home lacks this, use LED grow lights for 12 to 16 hours a day, keeping them 6 to 12 inches from the leaves.
Use proper soil and containers. Use containers with drainage holes and a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Avoid garden soil, which can cause drainage issues and introduce pests. Individual pots are recommended to accommodate different water needs.
Water carefully. Overwatering is a leading cause of plant death. Test the soil by inserting a finger one inch deep; water only if it feels dry. Ensure pots never sit in standing water.
Harvest and prune regularly. Regularly harvest or prune your herbs by snipping just above a leaf node to encourage bushier growth. Never remove more than one-third of the plant at a time. Pinch off any flowers to maintain flavor.
