Top 6 Struggles of Growing Herbs Indoors (w/ solutions! Garden Answer Megan: Hi Laura! I am a modest gardener, but have been working on expanding my indoor plant collection. I tried indoor herbs last winter/spring and didn't give them enough attention. I also made the mistake of thinning them too much ( I should have kept groups together, and they became leggy and not bushy. The one herb I've held on to since my experiment is sage! I only had seedling soil left, I planted it in a 6 plastic pot and I don't know why, but it seems to like it. I keep it on my south-facing kitchen window, I have pruned it and it has bushed out pretty nicely.

Appreciate this, thank you. Also makes me feel good cause my sage is hard to grow lol I've just been pruning the leaves that go bad like crazy and a bunch of little ones grew in so I'll see what happens now. Seems to like a lot of bright, indirect sunlight and a tiny bit of water every day. So interesting cause before the herbs I only had plants like spider plants and African violets and they all have such different needs. I'm enjoying it though learning about growing herbs and plants. I was going to get a cat but I'm much happier I think with the plants haha

Great video! Why do you think people won't stay till end? Your idea of putting gravel beneath a pot has really solved one of my problems. I have just one question. I tried growing Rosemary and Thyme (I live in India. After growing about one and half inch tall, they just drop dead! I have tried this 3 - 4 times but I just failed. I haven't tried other herbs - but I am able to grow standard vegetables (from seeds. Maybe the Indian climate is not suitable for them. Or could it be some other problem? Thanks once again.

Bought a lavender plant shaped like a Christmas tree for the holiday season to take to my daughters.
. forgot it, gone 10 days, left in middle of table no light on or window light within 3 ft, heat set at 60. Expected to come home and it would be dead or at least unsalvageable. Nope! Sporting new and abundant growth. Some plants. just want to live. I'm 66 and still learning. Love your informational and charming videos. Going back and watching earlier ones. Great way to spend gloomy winter days! Thank you!

I'm so glad I came across your video on how to maintain herbs indoors. I have had such bad luck with them. Outside no problem inside a disaster. I must have spent over a hundred dollars on them. Just to have them thrive in my apt. Now have the proper tips to maintain. Thanks so much. Also can you make a video on how to grow cut flowers indoors during the winter. I live in an apartment with a balcony. I love fresh flowers and would like to grow them indoors when the gets cold.

I never had luck with lavender u til I worked at a nursery here in FL. Im in zone 9b and the lavender we have takes a beating from the strong sun. From what Ive learned here is that they like a lot of light and to be dried out before their next watering. Some varieties may be more thirsty though.

Totally agree about rosemary. I've never seen a guide that doesn't say to let them completely dry out before watering, but I've only had success keeping them moist and not letting them get to that dry stage. When mine go dry they take weeks to recover.

I am a new gardener and trying to grow lemon balm indoors, mint and sage. My first attempt didn't go well. Any tips for growing these I doors all year around. I'm in a state that is humid with maybe 1 month of cold weather. Thanks for any advice.

Full spectrum lighting works perfect, I have a couple of mars hydro ts600s and grow green beans, spinach, lettuce, jalapenos, herbs and even tomatoes in the winter. And those lights are very inexpensive, for the quality 80. 00 on Amazon.
