Basil needs full sun for 6-8 hours daily, and it thrives in controlled conditions, including humidity, temperature, moisture, and nutrients. To ensure the longevity of your store-bought basil plant, follow these steps:
- Check if your basil plant needs watering and keep it hydrated.
- Choose a variety of basil, find the perfect spot for your plant, sow basil seeds, and transplant basil to a pot or into a larger pot.
- Master the art of basil plant care with this comprehensive guide, covering watering, humidity requirements, fertilization techniques, pest control, and harvesting basil leaves.
- Use plant pots with adequate drainage holes and rich potting soil to prevent roots from getting saturated in water.
- Replant basil in a larger pot to save money and make it last longer.
- Water regularly, possibly once every two or three days, and maintain moist soil without overwatering.
- Keep the plant in its sleeve or on a saucer in a bright light near the kitchen window, snip off leaves as needed, and give it sun.
- Water your basil once a week with just enough water to fill the tray below it.
- Revive supermarket basil by spacing seedlings in new pots, avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining moist soil without overwatering, and cutting stems, not leaves.
In summary, basil plants from the grocery store require proper care and maintenance to thrive and last for several years. By following these steps, you can improve the overall health of your basil plant and enjoy the rewards of growing basil indoors or outdoors.
