How To Grow Thaibasil at Home🌱 | How To Grow Basil From Seeds🌸| Thaibasil ❇️🌸

To grow Thai basil from seeds:

1. **Seed Starting:** Plant seeds in a seed tray or small pots filled with seed-starting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the soil, and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

2. **Warmth and Moisture:** Thai basil prefers warm conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cover the tray with plastic wrap or use a humidity dome to create a humid environment for germination.

3. **Germination:** Germination typically takes 5-10 days. Once seedlings have a couple of sets of leaves, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.

4. **Sunlight:** Provide plenty of sunlight. Thai basil thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

5. **Soil:** Use well-draining soil with organic matter. Thai basil prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH.

6. **Watering:** Water consistently, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between watering. Avoid waterlogged conditions.

7. **Fertilizing:** Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

8. **Pruning:** Regularly pinch off the tips to encourage bushier growth. Harvest leaves regularly to promote continuous growth.

9. **Harvesting:** Harvest leaves once the plant is established. Use sharp scissors to cut stems just above a pair of leaves.

10. **Pests:** Keep an eye out for pests like aphids or spider mites. Insecticidal soap or neem oil can be used if needed.

Remember, growing conditions may vary, so adjust care based on the specific needs of your plants.
