How To
How to grow basil
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 for growing basil indoors at home.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination takes approximately ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. As needed, add more potting mixture. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. 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.
-
When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
