🌿 Grow Your Own Basil – The Easy Way!

asil is one of the easiest herbs to grow, whether from seed or by propagation. Here’s how you can start your own fresh basil at home!

✨ Propagating Basil in Water:
1️⃣ Snip a 4-6 inch stem from a healthy basil plant, cutting just below a node.
2️⃣ Remove the lower leaves, leaving only a few at the top.
3️⃣ Place the cutting in a glass of water and set it in a bright spot (avoid direct scorching sun).
4️⃣ Change the water every 2-3 days. In about a week, roots should appear!
5️⃣ Once roots are at least 2 inches long, transfer to soil and watch it thrive.

✨ Growing Basil from Seed:
🌱 Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date or directly outdoors in warm weather.
🌱 Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil and keep them moist.
🌱 Place in a warm, sunny location (basil loves 6-8 hours of light daily).
🌱 Sprouts appear in 5-10 daysβ€”thin seedlings to allow space to grow!
