Parsley needs lots of sun and a southern window to get 6-8 hours every day. If you don’t have such an angle, supplement with fluorescent lighting so it doesn’t lean into the hot light during your work days!
Growing parsley is just like growing any other herb in a container. You should choose the right size pot for your windowsill, with some drainage holes and an area underneath to catch excess water when it drains through. Fill in soil mixed with sand in order to make the drainage better.
You don’t need to worry about humidity when growing parsley in your kitchen. The use of steam and water keeps the air moist, so it won’t be as much trouble for you! Elsewhere though?
Make sure that they’re getting enough moisture by misting them occasionally; if their leaves start looking brown or dry (or both!), set the plant on a tray of pebbles with water to increase the humidity.
How to Grow Parsley Indoors
To ensure a healthy stand of parsley, start with seed germination. Sow the seeds on top soil and cover them with 1/4 inch additional soil.
Bury the seedling in moist potting soil, but not soggy. It should emerge after three weeks or so and you can slip out any extras with scissors without damaging the tap roots of surrounding plants.
Indoor Parsley Care
Indoor parsley is easy to take care of. Simply make sure the soil in your indoor garden container or potting mix are slightly moist, then empty out the saucer so that it stays evenly damp at all times for healthier growth!
Then feed them every 2 weeks by using fish emulsion mixed half strength fertilizer diluted according to package directions.
If you want the versatility of growing herbs in containers, then parsley is perfect. You can also grow chives, thyme basil oregano or mint with it!
