At Earth Bloom Garden, we believe every space can bloom — whether it’s a sunny window or a cozy patio corner.

  • Keep soil moist but not soggy.

  • Harvest outer leaves regularly for continuous growth.

💡 Try planting a mix of green and red varieties for a colorful kitchen harvest.

  • Keep in direct sunlight.

  • Water deeply, but allow soil to dry slightly between sessions.
