Plants don't have enough space to grow

One of the main problems with these store-bought aromatic plants is theirs small pots that prevent it from developing and growing properly. Supermarkets tend to put more plants in the same pot, so as to make it appear that the pots are more generous. In reality, plants are struggling to survive because they are short on space, soil and nutrients.

They are forced plants

Another serious factor affecting the health of aromatic plants is the fact that they were forced to grow with fertilizers in periods that do not correspond to their natural growth. You can tell by the fact that the leaves have less flavor and aroma aromatic plants that you grow patiently and with the right conditions in your garden.

Environmental shock

Of course, every plant needs its own environment and the right environmental conditions in order to grow healthily. Aromatic plants from the supermarket are grown in unnatural conditions, they receive many hours of artificial light and therefore their leaves are small compared to naturally grown plants. Once moved to supermarket shelves, the plants experience an environmental shock and their growth begins to deteriorate. Thus, supermarket herbs have a maximum survival of two weeks, as they are not designed to last longer.



La solution correct is to place the plants in larger pots, to ensure the right exposure to sunlight and adequate watering.
