Looking to add a touch of sweet bay to your marinades, fish, curries, or stews? Look no further than the 9Greenbox sweet bay plant! This plant is perfect for those who want the convenience of having their own herb plant for cooking, as it requires minimal effort to care for.

One of the best things about the bay laurel plant is that it doesn't require a lot of watering. Overwatering can actually make it sick or even kill it. Simply water your plant gently when the soil feels dry to the touch one inch below the surface.

In terms of placement, the laurel bay plant thrives in 6-8 hours of daily sunshine. That makes it ideal for the patio. However, it also enjoys partial shade, so placing it next to an open window works well too. Just be sure to open the window, as the glass can intensify sunlight and brown the leaves. During warm weather, you can keep your laurel bay plant outside, but bring it indoors during the cold months. When spring arrives and you want to take it out again, gradually increase the amount of time it spends outside each day to avoid browning of the leaves.

When it comes to pruning, the bay laurel plant doesn't require much. Simply remove dead leaves and diseased branches as they appear, and trim it to your desired height.

The best part about having a sweet bay plant at home is having this natural spice at your fingertips whenever you need to add some "oomph" to your stews, marinades, or curries. When using sweet bay leaves, it's typically best to use them dried. Pick the larger leaves for drying, as they are more mature and have a stronger fragrance and flavor.

The bay laurel plant is native to the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and releases a delightful fragrance when its leaves are rubbed.
