Fresh herbs add a special touch to cooking. Flavors are stronger, sweeter and more delicate. You can elevate your kitchen's cooking by growing your herbs indoors.
Growing your favorite herbs indoors will be successful if you follow a few guidelines.
Herbs need six hours of sunlight every day. If there is not enough sunlight, use a grow light. These artificial lights are specifically designed for the needs of plants. Or use florescent lights and place them four inches away from the herbs for 14 to 16 hours every day.
Your kitchen may not be the ideal location to grow herbs. Moisture in the kitchen may hinder your herb's health. Temperatures fluctuate from baking, cooking and washing dishes. Your herbs will grow best when temperatures range between 70 and 75 degrees during the day. The night temperature can fall by 10 degrees. If this natural cycle is disrupted by cool days and hot nights, your herbs may die. If temperatures are high both day and night, your herbs will become stressed. The leaves can drop and the herb die. Survey your house for a location that closely matches your herb's natural cycle.
Keep the air circulating around your herbs. This will help with pest and bacteria control. If you notice small insects around your herbs, spray luke warm soapy water on the tops and undersides of the leaves.
Give your indoor herbs proper conditions, keep an eye on them and enjoy them all year round.
