Product Information

You’ll need a spot that receives at least six hours of sunshine a day for your plants to really flourish, otherwise they’ll end up spindly, flavourless and entirely underwhelming. Once they've grown to around 10cm you can start harvesting. Use scissors to snip the chives near the base of the plants to encourage new growth. You may also wish to fertilise the herbs on a monthly basis, though this shouldn’t strictly be necessary to maintain their growth and those which are reared without artificial help will generally retain a stronger flavour. 6)Harvest Without Harming Last but not least, it is important to harvest whole stems from your herbs on a regular basis to ensure healthy growth. Harvesting and pruning allows the plants to branch out and produce more foliage. Once the plants have grown to 3cm, remove all but one of the plants (so that one plant per seed are left).
