You may use the trick of placing a coffee filter at the bottom. It gives stability to the soil and holds the dirt inside when watering. Learn this trick and now I always use these with all pot sizes. Love your style; seems with such harmony.

Not trying to throw shade, but I was always taught that grocery store herb plants don't survive bc it's actually multiple plants in one and they die because they are essentially fighting for the nutrients. It is true because when I separated my grocery store basil, I literally had over 20 individual basil plants. I replanted half and put the other half in water. Some didn't make it because they were already done for, but I ended up with 5 healthy & very fast growing basil plants.

Very good video and I loved all the variations although I was screaming at the screen when I saw you trying to pot those herbs that were in the celo packages the reason they are packaged with the roots in soil is to prolong the life of the herbs so until you use them, but they have been sprayed with something and they will definitely never ever grow no matter what you do. Even the ones that you purchased in the pots unless you bought them from the plant section of the grocery store they are just a larger variation of the celo pkg and are just meant to live a little longer until you use them but again they have been sprayed to prevent the roots from growing even when transplanted, I suspect they were also purchased from the produce section of the store which anything that is purchased from the produce section even those heads of lettuce with the little balls of roots and coco coir is just meant to keep the produce fresh until you use it and is never meant to be repotted so that you can continue growing it, like most gardeners mistakenly think. They do something to the roots whether it’s some sort of radiation treatment or what I don’t know but don’t waste your time with those. In fact you’d be better off starting from seeds then using any of those! Always buy plants from the plant section of the grocery store never the produce section and if unsure look for cut flowers and ask the person doing the wrapping but if in doubt don’t bother you’ve just wasted however cheap they appear to be, put that money in and get from a proper nursery but better yet try growing from seeds. One other tip I can add is never ever take indoor plants outside and then bring them back inside because you will be asking for trouble and a possible infestation!! Little bugs are attracted to herbs and you could unknowingly bring in aphids or other creepy crawlers and not be aware until much much later once an infestation had developed. Also one other thing to note is be sure your potting soil is sterilized not just organic and that it has no holes in it at all, if it has holes it’s lost it’s possible sterilization and you should treat with boiling water before planting to prevent any possible aphids from appearing after the fact because they could still be present in the form of eggs. Most beginning gardeners don’t know about this sort of thing and won’t until they have an infestation that is ridiculously hard to control and most end up tossing out all their plants because they don’t know what to do at that point. Another thing to do is to sprinkle the top of your soil with diatomaceous soil, because any creepy crawly that eats it will die. So it will help if something does come in on your plants it won’t spread to others and cause a much larger issue. Hope that helps someone. Happy growing! Oh one other thing buy some gloves to prevent that beautiful manicure from getting all dingy and brown from playing in the soil. Be sure to buy the ones that won’t get wet the minute you put your hands in moistened soil, so not the cutesy pretty ones the all over plastic style is much better and will protect your beautiful hands and nails!!🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦

Julie, like all of your videos, you are such a wonderful teacher!! You have covered my entire new life😉 I’m going to do exactly this, my new place has amazing window ledges in the kitchen!!! Thanks again, Elisa

[marciacolombet]

Love the great job you did comparing the differences. I’m starting out a new herb garden and this really helps!

[eirbsjc]

Please show how to grow lettuce in an apartment with no outdoor space. Also, please show where you keep your small indoor vegetable pots & what you use to catch drainage.

[chrisorlovesky]

This will definitely get me started on my little garden.Bought seeds from Serenity Herbal, kept them away because I was unsure how to get started. Thank you !

[Clauds]

Hi Julie, I’m terrified but I’ll give it a go 😅 great tips 💚👍

[JameeWoodard]

Thank you for the video. I was leaning towards the herbs in the grocery store, since those are the ones I use the most. Now I am thinking.

[lyonsbrown]

Luv your plant section as well as your indoor dec style 😊😊

[camis.]

Nice job, so great to grow your own herbs! I would have skipped the plastic pots because of phlatalates and just put them in the cute metal pails. Plastics also contain petroleum. Glad you used organic soil! The fiddleleaf fig cuts that you made looks great!!! Do you compost?

[EvaSolveig]

Love your video´s and I would very muh like to see a video about plants who like low light. Thank you !

[margaretboyd]

For indoor herb gardens do you need special lighting? Thanks for this lesson. You’re amazing!😎

[lovealwaysjasmine]

How long will they last? Can you transition them to grow outdoors?

[brandonbuzzell]

You removed the basil from a tiny little pot and replanted it into another teeny tiny pot... What are you doing?

[dandana]

i think that you should replant them hydroponic .

[joldendoves]

I have had a lot of success with those supermarket herbs, but some like the soft leaf basil is not meant to live for long and, cannot live outside. If it were as easy as plonking them in any old pot and giving them a bit of water it would not be worthwhile for the supermarket, give them some fertilizer and love, I've had the most success with, chives, plant fertilise once it starts to grow, chop it halfway down the leaves with a pair of scissors ✂️, the following year it will have established itself and be a very successful plant.

Thanks for this Julie! I found the best indoor pot display online at Crate&Barrel that will be perfect for this! So tired of buying the herbs every couple of weeks so growing my own will be a exciting new alternative. What's the name of the tall plant behind you? My parents use to have this in their master bedroom an now I want it! Nice eyelashes btw...your always Sooo put together!!! Love that I found your channel. I plan to be moving into my own apartment within the next month or 2 so I'm always thrilled to watch your new decor vids!

Pro tip. Any potting soil and worm castings are a killer combo.
