It is possible to have a beautiful home simply by growing herbs indoors in pots instead of looking at traditional ferns and other plants.
Herbs offer so much benefit to your home apart from the wonderful aroma, colours and textures they offer. They are also usefull not just for cooking but also medicinal and decorative uses too.
You probably have walked into homes that simply smell divine and look equally good too, the fragrances, the colours and textures of these herbs simply make the home look fantastic and you too can have a home just like that by following a few simple guidelines/tips.
Most people think of ferns when you talk of foliage plants or tall grasses perhaps, but herbs too can have the most beautiful flora and can add colour and texture to your room and can compliment other flowering plants you may have in your home.
There are so many choices of pots for indoor herb gardening these days that it is difficult to decide which one is right for your room and pot size is another subject I�ll deal with on my blog later but you will find out that some herbs need lots of sunlight and some need less so choosing the right size pot for your room is important.
So why not try planting herbs instead or ornamental traditional indoor plants as herbs also have the benefit of being useable too for instance in cooking or medicinal use around the home, it is cheap too once you have a plant established it can go on producing fine herbs for you for years to come and the aromas of some herbs is just fantastic, Basil indoors is one you simply just have to brush past to get a wonderful aroma from and there are many others too.
Having your herbs planted in pots indoors also means it is easy to tend to them as you do not have to go outside to the garden to look after them, there are usually less pest problems growing herbs indoors too and the fragrances given off by some indoor herbs has the effect of relaxing you and de stressing you after a hard days work. It can also help if you have young children to calm them down especially just before bed time.
By placing a few well chosen herbs around your home you will not only have the wonderful fragrances from them but also the looks too and the freshness that herbs bring to a home is worth the weight in gold. No expensive air fresheners to buy, no basic first aid creams as herbs can be natural medicines (Aloe Vera for example for burns).
By growing these herbs in lovely decorative pots you will also have bushy plants that keep growing year after year as you prune them naturally for culinary or medicinal uses
So you see by choosing the right herbs in your home and growing herbs indoors instead of outside you can truly have a wonderful looking and fragrant home easily and all year round.
