Light and Temperature:
Most young plants grow best at day time temperatures around 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. These are typical North Central Florida spring temperatures. Your herbs should thrive on a sunny porch or in your garden during the spring season. If you plan to keep your herbs inside, be sure to keep them as close to a window as you can. By keeping them near a window, they will get plenty of sunlight.
