Is there anyone knows how to grow spicies?

I tried to grow spicies like rosemary, sage, mint etc. But they died very easily. If I took the top of the plant, they would not grow back and become wither soon. Please give me some tips.

Herbs are relatively easy to grow, just make sure they get full sun.

I'm not sure what you mean by "take the top off" but to harvest your plant, take the individual leaves off.

And just the leaves you will want or use immediately.

After all plants need their leaves to photosynthesize, so taking the whole top off a plant might just kill it.
Reply:never had problems growing herbs. They like full sun.
Reply:Most herbs like full sun, and don't like soil that is too rich, or too damp.



Try growing them in a pot: The pot will be easier to monitor, and to move. One year I planted sage, basil, organo, and thyme together in a pot, and had a marvelous crop all year long! But I was careful to take only what I needed for my soups and roasts.



Try googling (herb name) plants: That should pull up sites that can give you more complete directions.



Good luck!
Reply:Think Mediterranean climate. Warm, fairly dry, sandy soil, etc.



Most thrive on neglect (to a point). All will die if overwatered.
