How to Sow
- Take a handful of seeds and scatter a few in each small pot or cell
- Sprinkle a fine layer of compost over the seeds, pat down
- Approx 4 weeks after Germinating, transplant the seedlings into their larger final container or directly into the soil if it is warm enough
- Space approx 6 inches apart in a soil bed when planting out
Plant Care
- You can begin to harvest leaves as soon as they reach maturity
- Basil can stay indoors for year-round growth and harvesting
- Water multiple times a week during the warmer months of the year
- If planting outside, make sure plants are positioned away from direct sunlight during the warmest hours of the day
AllotMe’s Tips
- Cuttings can be taken and placed in water until roots emerge, to multiply your basil plants!. These can then be planted in new pots or soil beds if the climate is warm enough
