Herb Topiary
- Select a single stem and remove all others.
- Stake the stem and pinch off all grown 2/3 up the stem.

Light. All herbs require least 6 hours.
Water. Let soil dry 1/3 down, then water well. Topiaries tend to be rootbound and can dry out quickly, so get in the habit of checking the soil daily. Either a moisture meter or your own finger works well!
Potting. Topiaries benefit from a slight increase in pot size every year or two. Always use a pot with a drainage hole. Always use a high quality potting mix. Herb topiaries need exceptional drainage to thrive.
