Growing Instructions
  1. Fill your pots with potting soil, leaving about an inch of space from the top, and gently moisten the soil with water.
  2. Plant the herb seeds according to package directions, typically a few seeds per pot, and cover lightly with soil.
  3. Place the pots in a sunny location, ensuring they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily, or use a grow light if natural light is insufficient.
  4. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, checking the soil's moisture level daily.
  5. Once seedlings emerge and grow a few inches tall, thin them to the strongest plant per pot for optimal growth, and continue to care for them until they are ready for harvest for your Shakshuka.

Notes

Ensure good drainage in your pots to prevent root rot. Rotate pots periodically to encourage even growth for all plants.
