Does anyone of you got a good example for one or several herbs that are easy to grow indoors when fall and winter comes knocking? :) So they should survive and thrive in room temprature and won't need too much sunlight.

They are going to serve as tea brewing ingredients and also magick and ritual use. One prime example is stinging nettle.

Thank you for your time and answers!

Thank you all so much for the great tips! :)

I'll have to go and buy some basil one day when I have a day off from my work. But one funny thing is that I planted 5 lemon seeds from 2 lemons I bought from the grocery store, and 3 of them actually grew shoots O_O and now they have been separated into their own small pots so they have the room and maximum possibility to thrive. It's really exciting to see what it will become of them ^^ I will continue to post on this topic so you guys can follow the seedlings in their journey.
