Sowing
Tulsi seeds can be sown directly in well-draining pot or raised beds.
Take off some top soil (2-3 inches) from the centre of pot and make room for seed sowing.
Sow Tulsi seeds evenly in the pit and cover them with soil.
Water the pot regularly. Keep the surface damp.
Your Tulsi seeds should germinate in 1 - 2weeks, depending on the season.
Keep your Tulsi pot in semi - shade when the germinated seedlings are growing.
Cut off any extra, weak seedlings from the base after two weeks of germination to ensure yourplants are evenly spaced.
Caring
Once seedlings are growing, keep the Tulsi pot in direct sunlight.
For best growth and flavour, keep your Tulsi plant in a sunny location. However, Tulsi can also tolerate semi - shade.
Tulsi plant requires moderate light watering every day in summers and every alternate day in winters.
Add a handful of cow manureto your Tulsi plant every month.
Look for the early signs fungal infection/ insect infestation. If you notice any symptoms, spray appropriate medicines immediately.
Watch out for spider mites and small flying insects that infest the leaves.
Spray Neem Oil/Tobacco extract/soap water to keep insects at bay.
You can harvest your Tulsi leaves whenever you need them by cutting off growing leafy tips and foliage. We advise harvesting your tulsi leaves when they turn a little dry and crispy.
Never harvest more than one-third of growing plant at a time.
Keep pinching the growing tips & flowers of the plant as you harvest the foliage; this also helps the plant to attain bushy appearance.
Store dry tulsi leaves in an airtight container or a plastic zipper bag. Keep this in the refrigerator or freezer and use whenever required.
Common Problems
1. Why are my Tulsi leaves turning brown? Overwatering is the number one cause of browning of your tulsi leaves. Tulsi needs to be watered moderately. Make sure you are not overwatering your Tulsi plant.
2. Why are my Tulsi seeds not germinating? Growing conditions like moisture, improper soil temperature, over watering or under watering can all be a reason why your seeds are not germinating.
3. My tulsi leaves are turning yellow and drooping. Yellow and droopy leaves are an indication of under - watering. Your herb is thirsty. Make sure you are watering your Tulsi plant moderately.
