How I grow and my tips to grow herbs at home:
1. Use good quality seeds: I always use the best quality and fresh seeds. So, if you want healthy and bushy herbs, use only good quality seeds.
2. Sow directly in the pot: I use rectangular boat-shaped pots for herbs, and sow seeds directly into the pot.
3. Sunlight: These herbs needs 2 to 3 hours of sunlight to grow.
3. Soil mix: The potting mix should be light and well-draining to ensure proper germination of the seeds.
- Potting mix should also be rich in nutrients to ensure rapid and healthy growth of the herbs.
4. Moisture: Always maintain slight moisture. Avoid overwatering.
5. Trim regularly: Prune spinach regularly to encourage new growth and make it bushier.
