Water
Herbs require good drainage,
whether in pots or the ground. Plants should be watered thoroughly
and then allowed to get fairly dry before another drink. The
best way to tell when they need water is to go by the weight
of the pot - when light: water, when heavy: don't.

Feeding
If using a chemical fertilizer,
reduce the amount used by 1/2 the requirements suggested by the
manufacturer and feed monthly.Try using an organic fertilizer
for top dressing, cultivating into the top layer of soil, then
watering in thoroughly.
Temperature
70 degrees during the day and
above 55-60 degrees at night. |
|
Light
A minimum of 4 hours of sunlight,
ideally during the morning hours. If you don't have a sunny window,
16 hours of fluorescent lighting kept six inches above the plants
will work. If your plants begin to stretch it usually means the
light is not sufficient. Try another window, or additional lighting. |
