Did you know that there are many ways to hang herbs in your home and that a lot of them look pretty darn cool? Growing herbs doesn’t need to be done outdoors or on the windowsill in your kitchen, even if you’re working with small spaces. It’s not only about where you hang you herb planter and how they look – there are many benefits when you grow herbs. Not only are they more cost-effective than buying herbs in the store but you can also be sure that your recipes are fresh and free of pesticides. Read on for seven cool hanging herb garden ideas and tips for growing your favorite herbs indoors.

Tips For Growing Your Favorite Herbs Indoors

Before we get into some seriously cool ways to hang your indoor herb garden, let’s cover some tips on how to grow your favorite herbs indoors so your efforts aren’t wasted.

Light

  • Make sure they have a strong light source. The intensity of the lighting that your indoor garden is exposed to actually impacts the intensity of the flavor. Growing your herbs in strong, bright light gives them the best flavor. Obviously, bright light does not need to shine on your herbs all of the time. Aim for six to eight hours of direct sunlight every day.
  • If you don’t have a location in your home where your herb garden gets enough direct sunlight, you can help supplement this with an additional light source such as the LED Grow Light for Indoor Plant.

Container

  • You should grow each herb in a separate container. You may be tempted to combine multiple herbs in one container but this is difficult to pull off when growing herbs indoors. Using separate pots allows you to address each herb’s needs individually.

Air & Temperature

  • Provide your herbs with good air circulation. Whether or not your herbs are hanging in your kitchen or in small pots on the window sill, make sure they’re not sitting too close together. Because if they are, this could contribute to the spreading of disease. It’s a good idea to rearrange your plants regularly if they are sitting close together.
  • Keep the temperature in your home between 60 and 70℉. While altering the temperature of your home may seem like serious dedication to your hanging herbs, it is necessary for them to successfully grow. Some herbs require more specific temperatures, such as basil. For example, basil prefers to be at a constant temperature of 75℉ and quickly starts to wilt if it gets too cold.
