FAQs
FAQs
How often should I harvest Basil?
Harvest Basil regularly by pinching off leaves or stems to encourage bushier growth. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the plant at a time.
Can Basil be grown indoors?
Yes, Basil can be grown indoors in a sunny spot or under grow lights. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of light daily and keep the soil consistently moist.
How do I prevent Basil from flowering?
To prevent Basil from flowering (bolting), regularly pinch off flower buds as they appear. This encourages the plant to focus on producing leaves rather than flowers.
