Do you have any tips for caring for potted herb plants.?
My other house plants seem to thrive, but all the herb plants I buy never seem to last for very long (and its not from using them). any advise on what I could be doing wrong. My lastest to dry up and shrivel is a chive plant.
Answers: Many herbs, like Chives are actually better kept outdoors and this might be part of the problem. If you don't have much space you could try growing herbs in large pots or a window box outside and see if they fare any better. Source(s):
Gardener for 20 years don't over water, mix a bit of fine gravel into the soil, most herbs don't like their roots to wet.
