Yes, many herbs can be kept alive and productive year-round indoors when they receive consistent light, regular watering, and are harvested correctly. Indoor growing removes seasonal limits, which allows some herbs to live for months or even years.
Herbs that can be harvested the longest indoors are leafy and regrowing herbs such as basil, parsley, mint, chives, and oregano. These herbs continue producing new leaves after cutting, which makes them well suited for long-term indoor use.
To keep herbs alive longer, how you prune them matters. Instead of cutting all the leaves at once, harvesting small amounts regularly encourages new growth. Cutting above a leaf node helps the plant branch out and stay compact, while avoiding heavy harvesting prevents stress.
With stable conditions and gentle, regular pruning, many indoor herbs remain healthy and productive throughout the year, especially in setups that provide consistent light and watering.
