Indoor gardening is possible with herb pots. Many varieties are available. The pots can be used for different purposes. They can be used as a single plant, as a group, or all at once. Some herbs can grow to be very large, so it is important not too fill the pot. Choose a pot that is appropriate for the size of your herb.
When planting your herbs in pots, make sure they have drainage holes in the bottom. Stones or gravel can be used to block the drain holes. Plant the herbs by filling the pot with about 3/4 of the compost. After planting, carefully remove the herbs from the container, and plant them into the hole in the middle of the compost. After they have grown to their full height, water them as necessary.
Once you have put the herbs into the pots, water them often to maintain their health. You may need to add more potting mix if the weather is warm. Mulch is another option to finish off your herb display. Mulch can be used as a cover for soil crumbs. To make pots more appealing, layer them with gravel and pebbles. A second option is to use specially-made pot feet.

These are some tips for beginners to container gardening. You'll be able quickly to grow your favorite herbs!
When choosing pots for your herbs, think about how you'll use them. It is important to decide whether you plan on using them outdoors or inside your home. Next, place them in pots so you can regulate the temperature. During hot summer, you can plant several herbs in a container. It's convenient to move them around between rooms. They can be planted anywhere you like. Planting flowers in a window sill is possible.
You will need to mix potting soil with garden soil when choosing pots for herbs. Garden soil is great for plants grown in containers but too heavy to be used for herbs in pots. The best mixture is a mix of two parts of good sterile potting soil and one part of compost. The perlite will retain moisture while the compost will allow for air circulation. You can also add a drip plate to your containers.
