Most herbs do very well inside over
the winter.
A few simple tips:
- Give them a Sunny Location –
south or west facing window is best
- Reduce Water – more plants
die from being water-logged than from being dry
- Reduce Fertilizer – once
a month is lots; we suggest a liquid organic fertilizer
since it is less likely to ‘burn’ the
plant, and is easily absorbed by it.
- No Drafts or blowing air –
if possible move away from any heat registers.
- Clip Regularly! Use them in your
everyday cooking, they’ll do better, but ensure
that you always leave at least 5-6 leaves on most
plants so it can keep on regenerating. All the leaves
on plants such as chives and parsley can however
be cut right back to within a few inches of the
soil, they will regenerate.
