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 ways to grow basil indoors.

  1. It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination usually takes about ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
  4. After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
  5. Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
  6. When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
  7. The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
