How to Grow Your Chia Herb Garden

If you want to have some herbs readily available for you, you might want to think about growing a Chia herb garden. By having a Chia herb garden, you will be able to have fresh herbs in your home all year. With your Chia herb garden, you can have your very own culinary herb garden. Here are some ways to keep your herb garden flourishing all year.

Sprouting Seeds

When you first start seeing the seeds sprout in your Chia herb garden, it is important that you keep the sponges moist. They need to be very moist and you should be able to see about a quarter inch of water in the saucer liners. If you do not keep enough water and moisture in the sponges, chances are there won’t be enough water for the seeds to sprout well, and you won’t be able to have the herbs you want. If you need more information on herb garden information, you can always call the Chia herb garden help line to learn more.

In addition, when the seeds are first sprouting, it really does not matter whether or not they have darkness or light. Instead, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the soil temperature should be kept at the proper temperature. The soil temperature needs to be right around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If your house is too cold, then you can place your Chia herb garden on top of your water heater. If your house is too warm, place the garden on top of your refrigerator to keep the temperature right. 

In conjunction with the temperature, herbs will grow best with increased humidity around them. One way to create this environment for your Chia herb garden is to place an open plastic bag around the garden. You can use a small sandwich bag if it fits, or a larger gallon sized bag if necessary. You will begin to see some condensation inside of the bag because the humidity will increase. This is the best environment for a seeds to sprout: warm and humid!

After The Seeds Sprout

After the seeds sprout, things are different. First, the Chia herb garden should be placed near a windowsill so that it receives plenty of sunlight. A window that is southern or western will provide enough sunlight as long as it isn’t blocked by anything. However, you must be careful to keep your Chia herb garden about four or five inches away from the window. In the winter, the herbs may freeze and in the summer, they can get too hot. In addition, make sure that you only water the herbs like you would water any other house plant. Once the seeds have sprouted, they do not need to have any extra amount of water.
