How To

Basil Growing Tips

Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.

  1. It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
  2. 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. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination takes approximately ten days. Once germinated, move the pots into a shaded area where temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. 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. As needed, add more potting mixture. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
  4. After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
  5. Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
  6. When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
  7. Use paper towels to dry leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
