Growing Herbs in Water: A Simple and Space-Saving Method for Fresh Greens
Provide Sufficient Light: Herbs need light to grow, so place them in a spot with indirect sunlight. If you don’t have a sunny window, consider using a grow light to ensure the herbs get the light they need to thrive.
Use Clear Glass Containers: Clear containers allow you to monitor root growth and detect any issues, such as cloudy water or mold. Plus, they let sunlight reach the roots, aiding in growth.
Fertilization: Once your herbs have developed strong roots, you can add a small amount of diluted liquid fertilizer to the water to provide additional nutrients. However, don’t overdo it, as herbs typically don’t need much fertilization in water.
Harvesting: Be mindful when harvesting your herbs. Trim only what you need to ensure the plant continues to grow and thrive.
