Easy to Grow Herbs (Indoors!)

If you’re interested in growing your own herbs for your witchy and culinary pursuits, this is a list of plants I’d recommend for getting started!

Chives

Chives, chives, chives chives chives! In the same family as onions, chives have an excellent tolerance for low-light environments (but still thrive in sunny windows). This is also a relatively low-maintenance plant, needing some consistent watering and that’s about it! Chives also tend to grow to maturity very quickly (within ~60 days of sprouting) and a simple trim down to the base is all you need to harvest.

Parsley

This wonderful luck-bringing herb is very easy to grow in your kitchen. All this low-sunlight tolerating plant needs is for the soil to be kept lightly moist with occasional watering. Keeping it in your kitchen is great for when you need to grab a couple of springs to add to your cooking!

Basil

Basil is insanely easy to grow and even easier to propagate. All you need to do is stick them in a well-drained container and keep the water moist throughout the growing cycle. Then you harvest them when they’re ready!

Thyme

This plant easily adjusts to small pots and containers. It’s also very easy to propagate from any clippings you may have! This lovely little herb is drought-tolerant and sun-loving, while also being adaptable as long as it has suitable drainage. 

Rosemary

As opposed to some of the other herbs on this list, you’ll want to keep rosemary roots (and therefore the soil) on the drier side of things. Spritzing the leaves and soil will be better than soaking it in water!
