How to fertilize basil

How to fertilize basil:

In fact, basil does not need to be fertilized during its growth, as long as it is watered on time.

But 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, you must slowly pour it along the edge of the pot and keep it away from the roots.

When the plants grow to about 10 cm, you can apply some fertilizers that are beneficial to the growth of leafy vegetables. If it is solid fertilizer, just bury it in the soil 3 to 4 cm away from the roots, and then water it to allow the nutrients in the fertilizer to be better absorbed.

Note:

If it is cloudy or rainy, stop fertilizing.

When fertilizing, it is best not to let the plants get contaminated by fertilizer.

Finally, I would like to share with you one of its hidden skills. If you plant it in the yard, you can plant it near tomatoes or peppers. When you harvest the tomatoes and peppers, you will find that their taste is stronger than before, and it can also effectively prevent the occurrence of some pests. You can also plant them next to these vegetables when potting them, but pay attention to the moisture of the soil. Such plants can be used as seasonings, increase the fragrance of other foods when planted, and prevent pests. Do you have the urge to plant them?
