In Central Florida, water most plants 2–3 times per week, letting soil dry slightly between waterings. New plants need more frequent watering, while established plants usually need weekly deep watering.

Indoor herbs that grow indoors include basil, parsley, chives, mint, thyme, oregano, rosemary, cilantro, and sage — all thrive in bright windows with regular watering.

Cover plants with frost cloth, water soil before freezes, mulch roots, move potted plants indoors, and avoid pruning before cold nights.

Plant native flowers, avoid pesticides, leave some leaf litter, add shallow water, and grow herbs like dill and fennel to attract pollinators and predators.
