They can be grown indoors but do best outside. They need lots of sun. The mint is pretty much a weed and will grow in any good soil. I actually found it growing wild and added the plant to my garden. Since we are approaching the summer months, I would grow both outside in pots. Then you can bring them in before the first frost and have fresh herbs year round.

0 J'aimeIf you’re starting from seeds, you need to keep the soil moist until they get a couple inches tall. Then water them like any other houseplant. Mint especially is very hardy and likes the moist soil. Make sure you have plenty of sunshine for them and rotate them each time you water them. Basil is pretty close to the same requirements.
