Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your assorted herb plants is a straightforward and rewarding process. Most herbs thrive with similar conditions, making this collection easy to manage. When you receive your live herb plants, gently remove them from their packaging and prepare for planting. Ensure your chosen pots or garden beds have good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which is crucial for healthy herb growth. A well-draining potting mix is recommended for container planting, while garden beds should be amended with compost to improve soil structure and fertility.

For optimal growth, most of these herbs prefer full sun exposure, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If growing indoors, place them near a south-facing window or supplement with a grow light. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Herbs generally do not require heavy fertilization; a balanced, organic liquid fertilizer applied every 4-6 weeks during the growing season is usually sufficient. Harvesting regularly by pinching back the top leaves encourages bushier growth and a more productive yield. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat them promptly with organic insecticidal soap if necessary. Growing these herbs as part of your culinary herb garden will be a delightful experience.
