Herb drying advice...

Flic en Flac, Mauritius

Hello, forum. I have recently cut a batch of plectranthus amboinicus and
have hung them up for drying. This is my first time drying my own herbs,
so I thought I ought to check in with some more experienced gardeners.

I've provided some photos of my hanging herbs after about a week's time.

Some leaves have gone a bit yellow/blackish. Most are still quite green...

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Drying the leaves can take quite a while, especially if they are left attached to the stem. You can also strip the leaves from the stem and lay them on a screen or something like that to dry. They will dry faster that way.
