Discover which herbs thrive indoors and which need sunshine

These are more resistant and adapt better to indirect light and an indoor environment:

One of the easiest to keep indoors.

It likes light, but doesn't need direct sunlight all day.

Where? Perfect for near the sink or window

It grows well in small pots and doesn't require much direct sunlight.

Tip: cut it back often and it will come back stronger

It adapts well indoors, as long as there is natural light.

Tip: Avoid overwatering (this is where many people go wrong)

Hardy and grows fast - sometimes too fast.

Tip: Best kept in a separate pot (it "invades" everything)

It can stay in the kitchen, as long as it gets a few hours of light.

Tip: Avoid cold drafts. It is sensitive

These suffer indoors and almost always end up dying without enough direct sunlight:

It needs a lot of sun and a dry environment.

Tip: In the kitchen, it tends to rot

Loves full sun and ventilation.

In a closed environment, it loses its aroma and weakens

It needs plenty of light and air circulation.

It gets "sad" indoors.

The more sun, the more flavor it develops.

Inside the kitchen, it grows weak and odorless

It needs space, light and time to grow.

Not an indoor plant

• The biggest mistake is to treat all herbs as the same.
• Some like a drier, sunnier climate. Others like humidity and light shade.
• Mixing everything in the same place (especially in the kitchen) is the quickest way to lose your plants.

If grass:

• Has tougher leaves → usually prefers sun and outdoor area
• Has softer leaves → usually adapts better indoors

Caring for herbs doesn't have to be complicated, sometimes just changing the location will do the trick.

And once you get it right, your kitchen changes completely: more flavor, more aroma and less waste.
