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. Here are some ways 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 are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination usually takes about 10 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. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. 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 protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
