How to Grow Herbs Indoors in Winter With Grow Lights
Learn how many hours of light herbs need, how far to hang grow lights, and which easy herbs to start with so you can harvest fresh leaves all winter.
Fresh herbs and veggies from your kitchen
Growing food indoors looks easy until basil sulks, parsley turns leggy or cherry tomatoes flower and never fruit. Indoor crops need enough light, steady warmth, good airflow and the right container, and many windowsills fall short on at least one of these. Picking the right varieties makes the difference between a thriving pot and a disappointing one.
The guides here help you choose herbs and compact vegetables that suit small spaces, set up pots and mix, and decide when a window is enough and when a light is worth adding. You will also find help with watering, feeding, harvesting without stunting growth and handling pests like gnats and aphids. Wash everything you grow before eating it, and use gentle, food-safe methods for pest control on anything that ends up on your plate.
