How to Sow Your Holy Basil Seeds

When to plant: Spring to early autumn in warm climates. If you’re in a cooler region, start seeds indoors and transplant when it warms up.

Ideal conditions:

• Soil: Well-draining, rich in organic matter
• Sunlight: Full sun to part shade
• Spacing: 30 cm apart for bushy growth

Planting steps:

1. Sow seeds lightly on the soil surface and gently press down.
2. Keep moist but not waterlogged. Germination takes 7–14 days.
3. Thin out weaker seedlings, leaving the strongest ones to thrive.
4. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth.
