How to Grow Aromatic Plants on the Balcony

I Used to Buy Fresh Herbs Every Week. Now I Grow Them on My Balcony.

A few months ago I thought growing herbs at home would be complicated.

I live in an apartment.
No garden.
Very little space.

So I assumed plants like basil, rosemary or mint wouldn’t survive on a small balcony.

I was wrong.

At first I made several beginner mistakes:
too much water, poor sunlight, tiny pots.

Some plants died quickly.

But once I understood a few basics, everything changed.

Now my balcony smells like fresh basil and rosemary almost every morning.

And honestly, taking care of these plants became one of the most relaxing parts of my daily routine.

The best part?

You don’t need experience to start.

Some aromatic plants grow surprisingly well even in small urban balconies.
