How To

How to grow basil

Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.

  1. Be careful about where you place it. 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 want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination can take up to ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mix as needed. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
  4. After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
  5. Water the plants regularly. 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. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
  6. You should pick your basil at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
  7. Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
