How to Grow Your Own Strawberries, Mint and Basil for Delicious Mocktails

Everyone loves a good mocktail, but what makes a mocktail even better is if you grow the strawberries, basil, and mint yourself. Many people who live in apartments think that they can’t grow their own produce, but with just a few small purchases and adjustments you can easily create a mini-garden within your Primrose Apartment. Learning to grow a few indoor plants is all it takes to become the dedicated host of game night, and it will save you a few last-minute trips to the Publix off Highway 98.

Picking the Perfect Spot in Your Home

If possible, the best spot for your herbs and strawberries is the kitchen. This way you can snip them and put them straight into your mocktails. It doesn’t get much fresher than that. However, sunlight plays a large role in the growth of strawberries, mint, and basil. Ideally, you want to place your herbs and strawberries near a southern window that gets at six hours of sun a day. As a side note, if you don’t have enough room for your entire herb garden, mint can survive with a little less light so you can put these plants in west-facing windows.

Indoor Plant Care

Herbs like basil and mint are notoriously easy to grow, strawberries may take a bit more work. However, in the end, paying attention to a few tips can mean the difference between a wilting indoor garden and thriving indoor plants. First up, you need to make sure you choose a container that can drain (and a drain plate) to avoid root rot. Second, as mentioned, you need to keep your plants in the sun as much as possible. Anyone who has ever been strawberry picking in July knows the plants thrive in the sun. Finally, water lightly. Most people over water, but resist that urge. Just a little water goes a long way.

Spruce Up Your Mocktails By Growing Your Own Indoor Plants

Apartment living will be anything but boring if you are always the party host. Become celebrated as the host with the most by growing your own indoor plants and trimming fresh mint into every drink you place in your guests’ hands. After all, a day at Primrose is never boring!
