Indoor Gardening Tips : How Do I Grow Herbs Inside by Seed?

Growing herbs from seeds indoors is similar to growing other types of seeds. The temperature range needed for germination is usually between the upper 60s to low 80s. It's important to be patient, as herb seeds may germinate slower than other vegetables. Some herbs, like cilantro and basil, can germinate quicker, while others, like thyme and oregano, may take longer. Find a place with consistent temperatures in the desired range, such as near a water heater or in a laundry room. Once the seeds have germinated, allow the plants to grow sufficiently before transplanting them into larger containers or your garden.
