Frequently asked questions
Can aromatic herbs be grown on an indoor windowsill? Yes, provided the window is very sunny and faces south or west — the aromas will be less intense than outdoors but the plants will grow properly.
How to propagate aromatic herbs by cuttings? Take a 10 to 15 cm stem in spring, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a glass of water or directly into slightly moist, well-draining soil.

🌿 4 assorted aromatic herbs • ☀️ Full sun • 💧 Moderate watering • 🍃 Usable in cooking upon receipt • 📏 H18 cm | Pot Ø14 cm
This set of 4 aromatic plants includes four ready-to-use herbs — mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, or sage depending on the season — each delivered in its own nursery pot Ø14 cm. A complete kit to start an aromatic garden on a sunny balcony or windowsill, usable directly in cooking upon receipt.
These aromatic herbs can be harvested fresh as needed or dried to create a homemade stock of seasonings. Some varieties also produce small flowers that are very attractive to bees and butterflies in summer — a dual ornamental and practical appeal that few plants this easy to care for can offer.
Light & location
Aromatic herbs all need plenty of light to fully develop their aromas — less sun means fewer essential oils, therefore less fragrance and flavor in cooking. To welcome them well upon arrival, follow the steps for welcoming a new plant.
- Ideal exposure: full sun — balcony, terrace, or windowsill facing south or west.
- Minimum: 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal aromatic development.
- Indoors: possible only on a very sunny windowsill — aromas will be less intense than outdoors.
- Temperature: hardy species — tolerate light frost depending on the variety.
- Substrate: well-draining — universal potting soil with sand or perlite; avoid overly rich substrates that favor growth at the expense of aromas.
A poor and well-draining substrate intensifies the herbs’ aromas — under slightly challenging conditions, they produce more essential oils to protect themselves from heat.
Watering & care
The herbs in this set share a high drought tolerance — they prefer a slightly dry substrate between waterings rather than a constantly moist one. The finger test method is the most reliable way to find the right watering rhythm without risking overwatering.
- Watering: moderate — let the top 3 to 4 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in summer, every 2 weeks in winter.
- Drainage: essential — pot must have drainage holes, saucer emptied after each watering.
- Fertilizer: liquid green plant fertilizer diluted by half, once a month in spring and summer.
- Pruning: prune regularly by cutting the top stems to maintain a compact shape and stimulate new leaf growth.
The more you prune and harvest your herbs, the more they produce — never let a plant flower without harvesting leaves beforehand, as this exhausts the plant and reduces leaf aromas.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Aromatic herbs combine utility and aesthetics — their very different leaf textures create a visually interesting composition. To multiply and expand your aromatic garden, propagating aromatic herbs is simple and very effective in spring.
- In a balcony planter: group the 4 pots in a large south-facing planter in full sun and pair them with a Hidcote Blue lavender to complete the palette.
- In the kitchen on a windowsill: slip each pot into a white Greenville decorative pot for a neat and coherent presentation on a countertop.
- Paired with a bay tree: combine the set with the standard bay laurel to gather all essential kitchen herbs on the same balcony.
- Decorative pot and color scheme: the dense green and gray-green shades of the foliage match a Brussels anthracite decorative pot whose dark base highlights each leaf texture.
Since each herb has slightly different water needs, keep each plant in its individual pot rather than grouping them in the same container — this allows you to adjust watering for each independently.
Verdeia tips
- Harvest regularly to stimulate growth: always cut stems from the top just above a leaf node — this regular pruning encourages branching and keeps each plant compact and productive throughout the season.
- Repot in spring if roots overflow: potted aromatic herbs quickly exhaust small substrates — repot into a slightly larger pot with fresh well-draining soil as soon as roots come out of the bottom.
- Adjust winter care by variety: some herbs in this set tolerate light frost outdoors while others are more fragile — check the hardiness of each variety received and bring the more sensitive ones indoors to a cool, bright place in winter.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
