How to grow basil: useful tips from professionals
Basil can be grown both at home and in the garden.
It is important to provide the plant with sun and moisture.
How to Grow Basil
You can start growing basil in late spring or early summer when there is no danger of frost.
Choose a sunny spot in the garden with nutritious, well-drained soil.
You can also grow basil in containers of several plants or in pots of one plant at a time.
What care does basil need
Water your basil regularly. Increase watering during hot weather.
For a better harvest, use complex liquid fertilizers.
Avoid products that contain a lot of potassium, as this will stimulate flower growth rather than leaf growth.
It is important to weed the plant and remove the basil flower stems.
However, over time it is worth allowing the plant to bloom.
This is important because basil flowers are rich in nectar, which provides food for bees and other insects.
