Sahaja Basil Green Seeds


Green basil leaves have a heavy fragrance that is mildly spicy and extremely aromatic. It is traditionally used to make pesto and, in particular, tomato-based dishes. The leaves are very wide for basils, reaching up to 2 inches in length. In the sun, it is slow to bolt (go to seed). One way to tell the varieties apart is that sweet basil has pointed leaves, while green basil has much rounder leaves and a bushier plant.

Descriptions

Sow the seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.

Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in the soil and cover lightly.

  1. Germination:

   – Thai Basil seeds typically germinate within 5 to 10 days.

   – Ensure the soil is consistently moist during the germination period.

     2.Transplanting (If Started Indoors):

   – Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they are around 6 inches tall.

   – Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to provide enough room for growth.

     3.Watering:

   – Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

   – Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.

     4.Fertilization:

   – Thai Basil generally doesn’t require heavy fertilization.

   – If needed, use a balanced, organic fertilizer, and follow package instructions.

   5.Pruning and Harvesting:

   – Regularly pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth.

   – Harvest the leaves as needed, starting from the top of the plant.

   – Harvesting promotes continuous production and prevents flowering.

Growing Instructions for Organic Thai Basil Herb Seeds:

   – Start by selecting a location with full sun exposure for optimal growth.

   – Thai Basil prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

     6.Companion Planting:

   – Thai Basil is known to pair well with tomatoes, so consider planting them together.

    7.Pest Management:

   – Keep an eye out for common basil pests like aphids or spider mites.

   – Consider companion planting with insect-repelling herbs or flowers.

     8.Culinary Use:

    – Thai Basil is widely used in various cuisines, particularly in Asian dishes.

Water- Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Water the plant at the base to keep the foliage dry and reduce the risk of diseases

Soil- Well worked rich, loose, well-drained soil.

Pruning and Harvesting- Regularly pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth. Harvest the leaves as needed, starting from the top of the plant. If blooms appear, pinch them off just below to promote more leaf growth.

Companion Planting- Consider companion planting with other herbs or vegetables that complement Thai Basil.

Fertilizer- Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Follow the recommended dosage on the fertilizer package

Culinary Use- Use Thai Basil in various dishes, especially in Asian cuisine. Add whole leaves to curries, stir-fries, salads, or as a flavorful garnish.
