How To

Basil Growing Tips

Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.

  1. It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
  4. After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
  5. You should water your plants often. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
  6. When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
  7. The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
