How To
Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once germinated, move the pots into a shaded area where temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering 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.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
