How To

Basil growing tips

Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.

  1. You should choose carefully where to place your basil. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. It likes full sun but can tolerate 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 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 10 days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
  4. Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
  5. Water your plants frequently. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
  6. When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
  7. Use paper towels to dry leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
