How To
Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
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. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination usually takes about 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. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mixes as necessary. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs to be hydrated regularly to ensure its survival. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
-
Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
