How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. 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.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination usually takes about 10 days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. Add more potting mixes as necessary. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
Water your plants frequently. Basil needs to be hydrated regularly to ensure its survival. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
Take your basil out at the peak of its life. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
