How To

Basil Growing Tips

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 great tips to grow basil indoors.

  1. Carefully choose your location. 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 are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination takes approximately ten days. Once germinated, move the pots into a shaded area where temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. 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. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
  4. After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
  5. You should water your plants often. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
  6. Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
  7. The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
