How to grow basil on the balcony

How to grow basil on the balcony:

Sowing time: If it is in the south, you can choose March to April; if it is in the north, you can choose late April to May.

Soil for sowing: The soil can be mixed with 1 part peat soil + 1 part perlite + 1 part vermiculite.

Preparation before sowing:

Seeds: You can buy the variety you want. Basil also has multiple varieties. When buying seeds, you can choose the variety you want.

Soil: Lightly compact the soil with your hands to help expel the air in the soil, then water the soil thoroughly to prevent water accumulation. This is beneficial for the germination of seeds.

Steps for sowing:

1. Put 1 to 2 seeds in each flowerpot, cover them with a layer of soil, and then cover it with plastic film. The soil should be kept moist at this time.

2. Place the flower pot in a sunny place, open the plastic film and spray water into the flower pot every day to keep the soil moist. Do this twice a day.

3. When small sprouts appear, you can completely remove the plastic film.

4. Water it every day to keep the soil moist, and do not let the soil dry out.

Transplantation and colonization:

When it grows one to two mature leaves, it can be transplanted and planted, but the location for placement must be chosen in a sunny place, which is very beneficial to its growth.

Afterwards, breeding can be carried out in the normal way.
