Product Description

Qualities:

Holy basil is sometimes called “hot basil” because of its peppery taste. Holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) isn’t like the sweet basil in your mom’s marinara sauce or the Thai herb you use to flavor a your minced chicken.

The entire plant of holy basil for human use and its has a therapeutic value.

Care And Harvesting Tips:

Cut and come again! Basils are fast growing crops, frequent harvest can help maintain their healthy growth. Partial harvest from the top and sides of the crop by cutting the stems just above a leaf node (the point on the stem where leaves grow). It’s important to not harvest more than one-third of the leaves at a time, in order to allow the plant to continue growing and producing leaves.

Basil may develop thick roots, lift the net pods up to check the roots every 3 weeks and trim extending roots, leaving just one pinky finger long of roots extended from the base of the net pod.

To delay bolting, snip the flower buds off as when they appear.
