It all depends on:– The plant’s hardiness– Time of year– Soil type– TemperatureGeneral tips and tricksLet there be lightHerbs need 4-6 hours of direct sun every day to grow healthily indoors.Give the roots proper drainageDuring winter, herbs will drink slowly. To prevent root-rot, make sure they have proper drainage, i.e. drain holes, rocks or plastic foam.Don’t eat their solar panelsLarger leaves are the plant’s energy providers – make sure you cut off a mix of mature and brand new leaves (and never cut off all the leaves at once).Propagate from existing plantsMany herbs — including oregano, thyme, rosemary, and sage — are best propagated for indoor growing by taking cuttings from outdoor plants.Taking cuttings with careSnip off a 4-inch section, measured back from the tip. Strip the lower leaves and place the stem into a moist, soilless mix, i.e. perlite and/or vermiculite. Cover the cutting with glass or clear plastic and it keep medium-moist.A huge thanks to  AnglicanHome for providing all the sources for more green fingered information! -- source link
