How To

Basil Growing Tips

Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.

  1. You should choose carefully where to place your basil. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination takes approximately ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. Add more potting mixes as necessary. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
  4. After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
  5. Water the plants regularly. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
  6. Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
  7. The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
