Share
Dreaming of fresh basil for pasta, mint for lemonade, or rosemary for baked potatoes—straight from your own windowsill? You've come to the right place! Growing herbs at home is easier than you think—and it doesn't require a garden or special gardening skills. All you need is a little willingness, a few pots, and good light.

Why is it worth growing herbs at home?
-
Always fresh and fragrant at hand
-
Savings – you don't have to buy a bunch at once
-
No chemicals – only what you water yourself
-
A green accent in the kitchen or living room
-
Pleasure and relaxation – plants really relieve stress
🛒
What will you need?
-
Pots or grow bags (you can find them in our store)
-
Herb potting soil (preferably light, with added sand or perlite)
-
Seeds or ready-made seedlings
-
A place with access to daylight – e.g. a windowsill or kitchen counter
☀️
Which herbs work best at home?
Not every herb thrives indoors, but these are sure bets:
-
Basil – loves the sun, but hates drying out
-
Mint – expansive but hardy (preferably in a separate pot)
-
Thyme – resistant and undemanding
-
Rosemary – smells amazing, likes dry soil
-
Oregano, chives, parsley – kitchen classics
💧
How to care for home herbs?
-
Light : minimum 4–6 hours per day. In winter, you can use an LED lamp.
-
Watering : Regularly, but not excessively. It's better to overwater than to water too much.
-
Pruning : pinch off the tops of the plants to make them grow thicker
-
Fertilization : natural fertilizer once every 2–3 weeks
-
Draining Pots : This Is Key to Avoiding Root Rot

Where to put herbs in the apartment?
-
Kitchen windowsill – preferably south or east
-
Balcony – in the warmer months
-
A wall of greenery – e.g. using a hanging organizer (check out our vertical gardens!)
🧠
Fun fact:
Basil and mint grow best next to each other – they have a beneficial effect on each other! However, don't plant mint too close to other herbs – it can dominate them 😉
