• Mustard cake powder (natural nitrogen source)
• Compost tea (for micronutrients)

How to Identify Mature Leaves for Harvesting

• Basil leaves are ready to harvest when they are large, vibrant, and aromatic.
• Start with leaves at the top of the plant to encourage bushy growth.

Watering Requirement for Container Gardening

• Watering: About 500–800 ml per plant per day in hot weather. Adjust based on humidity.

Pests and Prevention

• Aphids: Suck sap, leading to curled leaves.
  • Prevention: Spray neem oil or soapy water.
• Whiteflies: Cluster under leaves.
  • Prevention: Use sticky traps and neem oil spray.
• Caterpillars: Chew holes in leaves.

• Spider Mites: Cause yellow speckling on leaves.
  • Prevention: Regularly mist plants with water to increase humidity.

Additional Care Tips

• Regularly prune the plant by pinching off the tips to promote bushy growth.
• Avoid letting the plant flower unless you want seeds. Flowering reduces leaf production.
• Use mulch to retain soil moisture and prevent weeds.
• Rotate plants periodically to ensure even light exposure.

Best Sowing Method

• Use seed trays or containers with well-draining potting mix.
• Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil and gently press them in without covering.
• Mist the soil to keep it consistently moist.
• Cover with a plastic wrap or dome to maintain humidity.
• Place in a warm, sunny location with temperatures around 18–24°C.
• Remove the cover once seedlings emerge and thin them to avoid overcrowding.
