Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi, is a popular herb in Ayurvedic medicine and is grown for its medicinal properties. It is also a sacred plant in Hinduism and is often used in religious rituals.
If you are interested in growing holy basil in your garden, a pack of 30 seeds can be a good starting point. Here are some tips to help you plant and care for your holy basil:
-
Soil: Holy basil prefers well-draining soil with a pH range of 6 to 7.5. Make sure the soil is loose and fertile, and has good water retention capabilities.
-
Planting: Sow the holy basil seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Holy basil seeds typically germinate within 1 to 2 weeks.
-
Sunlight: Holy basil thrives in full sunlight, so make sure the plant receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
-
Watering: Water holy basil regularly, but do not overwater. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as the plant prefers slightly dry soil.
-
Fertilizer: Holy basil benefits from regular fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and apply every 4 to 6 weeks.
-
Harvesting: Holy basil leaves can be harvested when the plant reaches a height of 6 to 8 inches. Pinch off the top few leaves and the stem, leaving at least 2 to 3 sets of leaves on the plant.
By following these tips, you can grow healthy and flavorful holy basil in your garden. Good luck with your gardening!
