🌱 Practical planting and care guide

Planting and position: Start seeds in a free-draining sowing mix with good light and airflow. Transplant carefully to a bright position after establishment.

Watering: Water seedlings moderately; reduce watering as drought-tolerant aromatic herbs mature and avoid soaked roots.

Possible problems: Poor drainage can cause root problems; monitor for aphids and leaf diseases, removing affected material promptly.

Flowering or harvest: Harvest aromatic leaves or flower stems after the plant has established, without cutting severely into weak or woody stems.

Use packet-specific instructions for the exact variety, growing region and season. Natural germination and flowering vary.
