from Seedlings!
By Shama Parveen
Growing herbs from seedlings can be a rewarding and cost-effective way to start an herb garden. Here are some tips for growing herbs from seedlings:
Growing herbs from seedlings means starting an herb garden by planting small, young herb plants that have already sprouted from seeds, rather than starting from seeds directly.
When selecting seedlings, look for healthy plants with strong stems and bright green leaves. Avoid plants that are wilting or have discolored leaves.
1
Choose a container that is large enough to accommodate the roots of your seedlings. Herbs can be grown in a variety of containers, including pots, grow bags and raised beds.
2
Herbs prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. You can use a ready-to-use potting mix or make your own by mixing equal parts coco peat, vermiculite and perlite.
3
Herbs need regular watering to thrive, but overwatering can lead to root rot. Water your seedlings when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
4
Herbs need at least 6 hours of sunlight daily to grow well. If you don't have a sunny spot, you can use grow lights to provide light.
5
Herbs don't require a lot of fertilizer, but you may need to supplement with an organic fertilizer if your soil is lacking in nutrients.
6
Regular pruning will help keep your herbs bushy and full, and will prevent them from getting too tall and leggy.
7
Harvesting your herbs frequently will encourage new growth and keep your plants healthy. Plus, you'll have fresh herbs to use in your cooking!
