Herbs on Your Windowsill: Basil, Mint & Rosemary Care Tips

Fresh herbs brighten up your kitchen and meals. Basil, mint, and rosemary are beginner-friendly herbs you can grow right on your windowsill.

Basil Care

• Needs 6+ hours of sunlight daily.
• Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
• Pinch flowers early to encourage leaf growth.

Mint Care

• Thrives in partial sunlight.
• Keep soil evenly moist.
• Best grown in separate pots—mint spreads aggressively.

Rosemary Care

• Requires full sun and well-draining soil.
• Water when the top inch of soil dries.
• Avoid overwatering, as rosemary is drought-tolerant.

Harvesting Tips

• Always trim above a leaf node.
• Harvest regularly to encourage bushier growth.
