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. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.

Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. 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.
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Add potting mix to each container. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
