How long does it take for basil to grow?

Introduction to Growing Basil

Basil is native to Africa, America and tropical Asia. In China, it is mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Jilin, Hebei, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places where it is mostly cultivated.

Basil Growth Rate

It only takes one and a half months for a basil seedling to grow into a mature plant. If it is propagated by cuttings, it will basically take root and sprout in half a month.

Basil Growth Cycle Management

Temperature management: Basil is best grown in an environment of around 25 degrees within 14 days after sowing. The room temperature should be kept at 18 degrees after germination. After the plant matures, the daytime temperature should be controlled at 22-23 degrees, and 16 degrees at night is best.

Fertilization management : Basil does not need fertilizer to grow, as long as it can be watered on time. If you want to fertilize, you can apply some fertilizer that can promote root growth when it grows 4 to 6 leaves, but the concentration of the fertilizer must be light, and when applying fertilizer, it must be poured slowly along the edge of the flowerpot and must be kept away from the roots.
