Tips & Warnings
If you want to plant chives, Chia recommends you dig a 1/2-inch hole in the sponge with a pencil and drop the seeds in the hole.
Chia herbs grow best when temperatures are around 65 degrees Fahrenheit in the day and 55 degrees Fahrenheit at night.
Watch your Chia herbs for evidence of an insect invasion. If you spot any insects under the leaves, spray the herbs with a little bit of soapy dish water.
