Most indoor herbs that fail in winter fail for the same three reasons: too little light, too much water and dry, heated air. This printable kit walks you through each one. Start with the window-direction chooser to see what each window can really grow in December, then use the light table to match basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, bay laurel, parsley, chives, mint and cilantro to a window or a grow light, with daily light hours, how high to hang the light, room temperature, water rhythm and ASPCA pet flags. The grow light setup page and timer schedule help you set a light once and leave it running on a steady rhythm. The bring-indoors checklist says which garden herbs to bring in, leave out or start fresh, and the supermarket basil rescue shows how to divide one crowded pot into three or four plants that last. A humidity and heat-vent checklist, a watering-in-winter guide and a 14-symptom problem finder cover the rest. Track it all in a My winter herbs plan, a 12-week care log, winter notes and a spring hardening-off page. US Letter, A4 and low-ink versions are included. Light and temperature needs vary by variety and home, so the numbers are cautious starting points drawn from university extension guidance. Growing information only, not medical advice.
