FAQ About Indoor Plant-Based Dye Sources

How long does it take to grow indoor plants before they can be used for dyeing?

The time required varies by plant species. Fast-growing herbs like spinach and turmeric can be harvested for dyes within a few months. In contrast, plants like madder require a longer maturation period, often needing 2-3 years before the roots can be harvested for their red pigment.
