What To Consider When Buying Herb Plants
Sunlight Requirements: Some herbs, such as basil, rosemary and thyme, thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Others, such as mint and parsley, can tolerate partial shade and might even prefer it, especially in hot climates.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Herbs: Many herbs can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoor herb gardens offer the advantage of year-round cultivation, regardless of weather conditions. However, they may require supplementary lighting, such as grow lights, to meet their sunlight needs. Outdoor herb gardens benefit from natural sunlight and airflow but are subject to seasonal changes and climate variations.
Soil Condition: Herb plants typically prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. A good potting mix for container herbs should be light and airy, allowing water to drain freely to prevent root rot. Herbs generally prefer soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level.
Maintenance Level: Common maintenance tasks for herb gardens include watering, fertilizing, pruning and pest control. Some herbs, like mint and chives, are vigorous growers and may require frequent pruning to prevent them from overtaking the garden. Others, such as sage and thyme, are relatively low-maintenance once established.
