Ensure your herbs get ample sunlight, placing them near a south-facing window for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Opt for containers with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, and choose sizes that suit the herbs' root systems.
Layer the bottom of your pots with gravel or small stones to facilitate drainage and prevent root rot.
Avoid overwatering by allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and always water at the base of the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth.
Encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess by pruning your herbs regularly, cutting just above a set of leaves.
Combat pests like aphids and spider mites by spraying your herbs with a solution of water and mild dish soap, or introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs.
Harvest herbs in the morning when their essential oils are most concentrated, using sharp scissors or pruning shears to promote regrowth and maintain plant health.
