Plant Care for Basil (Ocimum basilicum):

• This edible plant typically sprouts within 7 to 14 days.
• You can begin harvesting Basil in as little as 5 to 12 weeks.
• Optimal growth occurs within a temperature range of 18°C to 30°C.
• Don't worry about crowding; there's no limit to the number of seedlings per pod. Let them thrive!
• If the stems approach the lamp, a simple trim will do the trick.
• Keep Basil from flowering and acquiring a bitter taste by regular trimming. However, if you desire to witness Basil in bloom, allow it to flourish without cutting, but if you prefer continuous leaf harvesting, keep trimming.
• Basil loves being pruned! You can occasionally remove single leaves, but for robust growth, pinching off the whole tip is recommended. This will result in the growth of two new shoots in a few weeks, increasing your yield.
• Don't let surplus Basil leaves go to waste. Dry them for later enjoyment.
• Please note that Basil is an annual plant and doesn't endure indefinitely. If it's been over ten weeks and the plant appears aged, it's time to replace the pod.
