Sowing Tips:

• Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly outdoors after the last frost.
• Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for the best growth.
• Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by incorporating organic compost to enhance fertility and drainage.

Planting Tips:

• Depth: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or pots. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall.
• Spacing: Space the plants 10-12 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

Watering and Fertilization:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to promote healthy growth and vibrant leaves.

Care and Maintenance:

• Pruning: Regularly pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and prevent the plant from flowering too early.
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and whiteflies. Use organic pest control methods to protect your crop.

Harvesting:

• Timing: Harvest red basil leaves when the plant is about 6-8 inches tall, typically 6-8 weeks after sowing.
• Method: Cut the leaves just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Harvest in the morning for the best flavor.
• Storage: Store harvested basil leaves in the refrigerator or dry them for long-term storage.

Climate Adaptation: Red basil thrives in Pakistan’s climate, enjoying warm conditions for optimal growth.
