For this consideration, place containers correctly. They should be positioned inside the house near west and\/or south-facing windows. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplemental lighting can be utilized if they still do not get enough light indoors. Garden centers and most big hardware stores sell growing lights. If this is not a viable alternative, two 40-watt white fluorescent lamps positioned six to twelve inches away from the plants and left on for 14-16 hours per day can suffice. Rotate containers on a regular basis to ensure that light reaches all sides of the plants equally. This will allow for healthy, balanced growth. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e7381 subhead-img-txt-num e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"85e7381\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30b4915 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"30b4915\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2220df2 mt-num-h3-top e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"2220df2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db03899 sec-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db03899\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-095fffe sec1-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"095fffe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Soil <\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deb9ec1 header2-open-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"deb9ec1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/Weeds+%26+container+herbs+WEBP\/c+soil.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"preparing soil for container garden\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2bfec6 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e2bfec6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soilless media is widely used for container herb garden; it resembles soil but is lighter in weight and keeps water and nutrients effectively.
