Nothing better than having aromatic herbs at home!
You can grow it in your garden, but also in a pot in an apartment.
The problem is that we don't necessarily have room for all the different herbs...
Fortunately, to save space at home, some herbs can easily be grown together.
To do this, simply group plants that have the same needs.
Here are 10 aromatic herbs that you can easily grow together . Watch:
The rule is simple:combine plants that like the same environment.
For example, Mediterranean plants can be planted together, as they need sun and reduced watering.
- Water the sage plants regularly until they are fully developed.
- Then, let them grow by spacing out the waterings.
- Be careful, sage spreads a lot. Each spring, cut off the stems that look like wood and leave only the thinner ones.
- To maintain a quality plant, replace sage plants every 4 to 5 years.
- Water and prune the thyme regularly.
- Remember to prune the thyme to prevent it from invading everything. But it will also have the effect of stimulating the production of young stems which are used in cooking or herbal tea.
- Remember to protect the foot in winter with a mulch or a winter veil.
- Place the rosemary in full sun on your patio or windowsill.
- Rosemary loves the sun and needs it at least 6-8 hours a day.
- Only water rosemary when the soil is really dry.
- Add a little natural fertilizer once a month.
- You want to avoid the appearance of fungus in the pot? So, it is important that the rosemary be in a well-ventilated and unconfined place.
- Marjoram requires little care and is one of the easiest to grow if you are a beginner gardener.
- Water it once a week. But if you forget to water it for a few days, don't worry, because it resists drought well.
- Let the oregano grow up to 10 cm, then cut it to stimulate it and encourage its growth.
- It is important to prune the oregano regularly, as it will grow faster and be bushier.
- Water only when the soil is dry, as oregano does not need a lot of water.
- In early spring, prune plants over 3 or 4 years old. Oregano regenerates on its own, so plants will regrow easily without you having to do anything.
- During the hot season, remember to water the lavender every day when it is dry.
- Prune the top of the plant to stimulate the appearance of flowers.
- If the nights become too cold, put the pot inside or cover the plant if it is in the ground.
- Once lavender is well rooted, it tolerates dry spells and heat waves much better.
- Prune the tarragon regularly so that its height does not exceed 5 cm and thus prevent flowering.
- Mulch around the foot to protect the roots in winter, especially if you live in a colder climate.
- To keep your tarragon plants healthy, divide them every 3 to 4 years in the spring or fall. Tarragon is very easy to take cuttings.
- Place your cilantro jar where it receives plenty of sunlight in the morning.
- But be aware that cilantro does not like direct sunlight throughout the day. So make sure that during the afternoon the sun is not as strong as in the morning.
- The soil should be moist without over-watering. Because its roots are sensitive and tend to rot if they are drowned.
- Basil needs good quality soil.
- To grow basil indoors, you need at least 6 hours of sunlight.
- To make it look good, place your basil behind a sunny window facing south.
- Water your parsley frequently, especially during germination.
- Once it has taken hold, water it regularly and frequently.
There you go, now you know which aromatic herbs you can grow together easily :-)
Consider putting Mediterranean plants together, as they have the same water and sun needs.
Remember to check the soil regularly and water once the soil is dry.
In any case, your aromatic herbs need sun. So don't leave them in the shade!
