How To

Basil Growing Tips

Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.

  1. It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
  4. After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
  5. Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your 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. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
  7. Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
