Basil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Basil is also best started from the seed. Basil loves heat and bright light so keep your plant under a window that receives adequate sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oregano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can buy oregano from nursery-raised stock but you can also try growing the plant from seeds. If the seeds take too to sprout and you have an existing plant, oregano quickly propagates from leaf cuttings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor\noregano plants require similar conditions to garden-raised plants. The ideal\ntemperatures for growing oregano indoors are between 18\u00b0C to 21\u00b0C in the day\nand 13\u00b0C to 16\u00b0C at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sage\nis easily grown from cuttings. The plant thrives in well-drained, sandy, loamy\nsoil under medium to full sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage\nis a hardy, drought-tolerant herb. You should wait until the soil is completely\ndry before you give the plant a thorough watering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
