Growing Conditions
- Sun Exposure: Most herbs thrive in full sun, needing 6-8 hours of light daily; some, like mint, tolerate partial shade.
- Soil: Require well-draining, nutrient-rich soil; a general-purpose potting mix enriched with compost works well for containers.
- Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings for Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and thyme.
- Humidity: Adaptable to average indoor and outdoor conditions; regular misting can benefit certain herbs in dry environments.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: Varies by herb, but many are suitable for zones 4-11 when planted outdoors.

- Watering: Water regularly but adjust frequency depending on the herb's specific needs; Mediterranean herbs prefer drier conditions.
- Pruning: Regularly harvest and trim to encourage new growth and prevent flowering for prolonged leaf production.
