Tips for Growing Herbs Indoors

Hello {!firstname_fix}

Thank you for joining us for the Winter Herbs & Superfoods email series! Today we are 
going to talk about how to grow your herbs indoors. Don’t miss our blog post on Winter 
Herbs You Can Grow Indoors [insert link]. 

Look for a South-Facing Window

The first thing you need to do is find the perfect spot in your home for the herbs. Most 
herbs need several hours of sunlight during the day, so aim for 6-8 hours. Typically, this 
will be a window that faces south, as that is where you should get the best sunlight 
during the day. It might be in front of a sliding glass window in your living room, or the 
window sill of your kitchen.

Make Sure You Have Good Drainage

One of the problems with growing herbs indoors is that they don’t have good drainage in 
the pots. Herbs have a tendency to get drowned when watering, which is even more 
prominent if the herbs don’t drain well. Look for a good soil and rocks at the bottom of 
the pot to make sure it drains properly. You can also ask the nursery where you buy 
your herbs and accessories for recommendations.

Be Careful with the Watering

When watering herbs, you want to wait until the soil looks dry before watering. While 
this can vary by herb, most winter herbs like thyme and rosemary need only minimal 
water to survive and drown easily.
