Useful info for herbs. Thanks
Many Witches and Herbalist love to grow their own herbs/flowers, it will help your home look more lively and you can control the environment for the plant to grow. While growing plants can seems easy, many plants cannot grow indoors, or need special requirements to grow full and healthy. While herbs such as chives and sage can grow indoors, plants like roses and honeysuckle will grow best during the warm seasons outside. When planning on gardening a new herb, research where would be best to grow them. If you are buying seeds, look on the back of the seed package and it will tell you the best conditions for growing the herb/plant.
Some herbs to grow indoors:
Chives - Plant them in well-drained potting soil that’s rich with organic matter. They can tolerate light shade but do best in full sun
Mint - Mint can grow in many soil types and degrees of sunlight, but it produces the best leaves in rich soil. It’s a perennial, but its hardiness varies by variety, so check which type you are growing.
Rosemary - Quick-draining soil is the key to good growth. It’s drought-tolerant. Keep the soil moist but never wet when grown indoors
Sage - Best grown in full sun and moist, well-drained potting mix
Some plants to grow indoors:
Cactus - adapted to extremely arid and hot climates and have water conserving features
Orchid - most grow best when temperatures drop at night to between 50 and 65 degrees and rise during the day to 65 to 75 degrees
Hibiscus - For best results, keep hibiscus in bright light and warm temperatures near a south or west window. (( also is a bee saver if grown outside!))
African Violet - do better in lower light and will bloom year-round with a minimum of care.
These are just some of the herbs and plants grown indoors, but there are so many more online sources for growing herbs and plants indoors.

Attention Fellow Witches!
I’M GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS MAGICAL ASS WITCH SHOP AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU!
This place is called Maggie’s Pharm and it’s unique to my hometown of Memphis TN. They have existed for over 35 years now, surviving through the recession and managing to stay afloat when all else around them disappeared. They are locally owned and nearly ALL of their products are handmade. They have a phenomenal selection of oils and shampoos, as well as all kinds of medicinal remedies and teas and soaks to help those in need.
The great thing about them is that not only do the have superior customer service (some of the nicest and most helpful people I have EVER met, and their knowledge base is just amazing - you can ask them literally any question about their products, or ask for advice on how to achieve a certain outcome and they’ll ALWAYS answer with a polite and humble air. Very Educated), but they also DO NOT BOAST using their products in place of proper medical care for serious conditions. They advocate a harmony and melding of the two, and I think that’s just great.
BUT LET ME GET TO THE MEAT OF WHY I MADE THIS POST.
THEIR HERBS.
Guys. GUUUUUYS. They literally have every herb you could ever think of. And their spice collection is impressive as well. And everything is FRESH and NEW. They are constantly turning over and taking care of their products. Like, every time I’ve been in there, there’s some lady taking down the jars and examining them, refilling whats low or dumping what may have sat for too long. This shit is legit. These people take great pride in their work and it shows in the product. Maggie’s has never let me down in all these years (even before my witchy days, when I was simply going in there for their special tea blends and their homemade skin care products.)
The best part? Everything is reasonably priced. Nothing over the top.
For example, today I bought Jasmine, Chamomile, Thyme, Basil, Peppermint, Sandalwood, Red Rosebud Petals, Mugwort, Sage, Dandelion Root, Cayenne Pepper, Rosemary, Lavender AND a new mortar and pestle all for like 34 bucks. You can’t beat that dude.
Now why am I telling you all this, my dear witchy friends, when most likely you live very far away from this place and can’t access these wonders?
WELL GOOD NEWS. THEY SHIP.
That’s right you heard me. THEY’LL SHIP ANYWHERE YOU WANT.
I’m not sure about outside the US, you’d have to call and ask them, but I DO KNOW they can for sure send anywhere in the US. But LOOK GUYS. This is a great place and you can totally utilize it in your craft.
In a world where technology and the internet reign supreme, it’s nice to see that some truly magical homely places like this still exist in the world. I know its easy to buy online (and it may be a bit cheaper too) but please PLEASE give these guys a look and a shout out.
We don’t want the magical witch shops of the world to disappear.
So please, if you can, give these lovely people a try. You won’t be disappointed I can promise you. And they deserve support more than you could ever know.
Thanks everyone <3 -hugs you all-
