The 10 Best Plants for an Indoor Herb Garden
John Castro 1/10
Basil
You’ll find basil at or near the top of every list of easy-to-grow herbs. Start by sowing seeds directly in the pot. Cover with plastic wrap to keep them moist until they begin to germinate. Then remove the plastic and let a few seedlings grow to maturity.
Basil grows well near a sunny window or under grow lights. They can also be easily grown as microgreens.

Cilantro
If you love cilantro, you’ll enjoy growing it indoors. Sow a few seeds in a container and cover it with plastic wrap to keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Thin out seedlings when you see the first sets of true leaves so you have just a few plants growing in the pot.
Keep them watered, give them good light and harvest leaves before they turn feathery. Like basil, you can also grow cilantro as microgreens (speaking of, check out this microgreens growing kit).
