Yes, you can grow herbs indoors in winter, but they usually need extra attention to light. Shorter days and weaker sunlight make winter the most challenging season for indoor herbs.
To get the most from natural light, place herbs near the brightest window in your home, ideally a south- or west-facing window. Keeping plants close to the glass and avoiding shaded areas helps maximize the limited daylight available in winter.
For more reliable growth, many people use grow lights to support herbs during winter months. Even a simple LED grow light can significantly improve growth and prevent herbs from becoming weak or leggy.
A smart garden is an effective winter solution because it provides built-in LED lighting and controlled watering, allowing herbs to grow independently of outdoor light conditions. This makes it possible to keep herbs healthy and productive throughout the winter without constantly adjusting placement.
In real indoor setups, winter herb growing works best when light is actively managed rather than relying on daylight alone.
