  • 7 συμβουλές για την καλλιέργεια τους στο σπίτι!

If you have a spot in your apartment, bright enough and airy, then you can use it to grow herbs that accompany your cooking daily. 

Choose herbs that you often use in your cooking

When choosing varieties for growing herbs, start according to your preferences and not with the appearance of the plant.

Here are some options that suit several cuisines: basil, coriander, lemongrass, thyme, rosemary and much more! 

Make room in the window

Expand your herbs near windows so that they receive at least 4 hours of sunlight daily.

Pay attention to hanging pots

If your ledge is too narrow and the plant needs a lot of light, plant it in a hanging pot.

Use glass containers

If you are afraid that your pet may destroy your mini-garden, place the plants in a transparent glass, small greenhouse. You can find many beautiful design and size options that will look nice in the interior of your home.

Try to find beautiful combinations

In herbs, taste is important, but this does not mean that you cannot experiment with unusual combinations of varieties that will also play a decorative role in your space. For example, you can plant basil next to thyme, purple sage next to the fragrant geranium.

Give space to plants to grow

Herbs can be grown in separate containers or in a common container, but important is that there must be enough space for their growth and air circulation. For example, it is better to plant mint separately, as it grows fast enough and can shrink its "neighbors".

Regularly check the condition of plants

The worst thing you can do is ignore your plants. Check the soil with your finger before watering it, it is very likely that the soil is not dry and the plant does not need watering yet. 

We must not forget that the possibilities of growing herbs at home are not limited only to cooking herbs. There are many possibilities for growing healing herbs that we will present to you soon in our next article!
