6. Rosemary
- Light: Rosemary needs 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, so a sunny windowsill or grow light is ideal.
- Watering: Water when the soil is dry, but avoid waterlogging. Rosemary prefers slightly dry conditions.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil, preferably sandy or loamy.
- Pruning: Regularly trim the plant to encourage bushy growth and prevent it from becoming too leggy.
7. Catnip
- Light: Catnip grows best in full sun, so place it where it will get plenty of light.
- Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Catnip can handle dry conditions, but doesn’t like to sit in soggy soil.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil.
- Pruning: Prune back regularly to control growth and encourage new leaves.
