Pick the Right Plants. Most herbs can be grown indoors, but those that tend to thrive inside include no-fuss picks like basil, chives, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary and thyme. ...Select a Container with Drainage. Choose the Sunniest Spot. Water-but Not Too Much. Harvest a Little at a Time.Transplant When Ready


Here’s what you can grow indoors:

  1. Chives. Chives grow almost anywhere

  2. Mint. Growing mint indoors may be the best plan for most of us.

  3. Parsley. If you choose to start parsley from seed, soak it in warm water to crack the seed coat before sowing it.

  4. Basil. Use the smaller globe types of basil for indoor growing.

  5. Cilantro.

  6. Thyme.

  7. Lemongrass.

  8. Oregano.

  9. Vietnamese Coriander.


To grow an herb garden indoors year round, start by purchasing seeds from your local nursery or garden store. You will also need some pots to plant them in, which you should fill ¾ of the way full with potting soil. Plant the seeds about 1 cm apart from each other and then cover them with a sprinkle of soil.


And they do get their money's worth: a potted herb lasts up to 2 weeks while cut herbs sold in the same supermarket will only last 4 or 5 days.
