Basil cultivation methods and precautions

Basil cultivation methods and precautions

1. Temperature

Basil is a very cold-intolerant plant. The most suitable temperature for its growth is 15-28℃. It grows well in a warm environment. It grows vigorously in spring, summer and autumn, but stops growing or even pauses in winter when the temperature is low. Therefore, even in winter, it is necessary to provide it with a temperature above 5°C to ensure that it survives the winter safely.

2. Lighting

When growing basil, try to place it in a sunny place, as it loves sunlight very much. Sufficient sunlight will make the plant stronger, the leaves will be shiny, and it will grow quickly, so during normal cultivation, it should be allowed to receive as much light as possible.

3. Fertilizer

If you want it to grow well, you should start fertilizing it when it has 4 or 5 leaves, so that its roots can develop faster and stronger. When applying fertilizer, just use dilute fertilizer water, and do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

IV. Precautions

When watering it, be sure to avoid water accumulation in the pot, as this can easily cause root rot. It requires sunlight to grow. Even if it is indoors, it must be exposed to appropriate light. Scattered light is also acceptable. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to its growth and may even cause death.
