GOTHE BASIL TRICK 🌿
1. Never water the soil, only water the saucer
2. Always keep the saucer full
3. Never pluck, always trim the stem just above a leaf
Some other helpful tips:
4. Use an XL saucer or bowl. It will drink what it needs!
5. Repotting into a bigger pot will mean a bigger basil! Use normal potting soil. You can split supermarket plants into multiple pots if you want.
6. This works best in the warmer months and INDOORS!
7. Basil loves a sunny spot 🌞
8. Wait until your basil is growing before you trim
9. Give it time - these plants are three to four months old
10. Once it’s big, trimming will keep your basil healthy and bushy. Trim off any flowers immediately!
11. I use terracotta pots and water impermeable saucers.
