How To

How to grow basil

Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.

  1. It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination takes approximately ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. The plastic wrap should be removed and the seedlings transplanted into larger containers. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
  4. Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. 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. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
  6. You should pick your basil at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
  7. Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
