Product Description : Aromatic Basil

Quantity : +/- 2 gm

Maturity : 50 days


Germination

1️⃣  Fill up the seedling tray or seedling pots with seedling soil. Use a finger to gently make 2-3 small holes, put in seeds and cover with a thin layer of soil.

2️⃣  During seedling stage, put the tray or pots under shaded area and make sure to water thoroughly daily. When the sprouts emerge, move it to an area with direct sunlight.

Extra Tip: Before putting in seeds into soil or before transplant, you may want to water the seedling mix or potting mix first. This is to ensure the potting mix gets enough moisture and prevent the plants from getting dehydrated. You may store the remaining seeds in a refrigerator for future planting, or mix them into a drink or dessert.


Transplanting

1️⃣  When the seedling has grown 6-8 leaves (around 10-13 days after germination), the seedling is ready for transplant.

2️⃣  Prepare a pot of suitable size, such as Baba 206 Flower Pot, Baba 529 Planter Box, Baba 509 Planter Box (minimum depth of 15cm).

3️⃣  Fill up the planting pot with Baba Yasa-I Soil, and make holes to prepare for transplant. Maintain a 20-30cm distance between each hole.

4️⃣  Take out the seedling from seedling pots, and put into the hole. Press gently on surrounding soil, to help the seedling stay firm. Plant one seedling per hole for better harvest.


Fertilising

1️⃣  Put Mr. Ganick 532 Organic Leafy Fertiliser on the 7th day after transplant. After that, repeat fertilising every week for a month.

2️⃣  Draw a line between vegetables, or dig a small hole beside vegetables, and put in Mr. Ganick 532 Leafy organic leafy fertiliser, cover the fertiliser with a thin layer of soil.

3️⃣  Water thoroughly after fertilising.


Watering

1️⃣  Moisture is important for Aromatic Basil. Make sure the soil stays moist, watering when needed.

2️⃣  It is recommended to water thorougly every morning.


Harvest Tips

1️⃣  Your Aromatic Basil is ready for harvest when the plants are slightly larger, or around 50 days or more from the 1st day of planting.

2️⃣  When harvesting, top-pinch the plant and harvest from the terminal bud, and the lateral buds will continue to grow.

3️⃣  Use scissors to harvest from the stems and leaves. Allow the young leaves to continue to grow.


Extra Tip: Harvest Aromatic Basil before flowering, as the scent of the leaves will decrease after flowering.
