Growing conditions

light: Full sun, 6-8 hours of direct light per day. Indoors - south window or supplemental grow lighting.

Irrigation: Regular - Keep soil moist but not wet. Water when the top layer (2-3 cm) dries out. Avoid watering the leaves.

ground: Well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Recommended pH: 6.0-7.5. Suitable for pots with drainage holes.

temperature: Likes heat, 18-30°C. Sensitive to cold - temperatures below 10°C will damage the plant. Bring inside before Yom Kippur.

Professional tip

The secret to lush basil is proper pruning! Pinch off the tops regularly to encourage dense, branched growth. When flowers appear, remove them immediately, otherwise the plant will stop producing new leaves. Always harvest from the bottom up, leaving at least two pairs of leaves on each stem.
