Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a fragrant, culinary herb widely used in cooking and garnishing. Ideal for home gardens, kitchen pots, and patios in Pakistan, it is easy to grow and perfect for beginners.

How to Sow

Sow seeds in seed trays, small pots, or directly in garden beds. Plant seeds about ¼ inch (6 mm) deep and cover lightly with soil. Keep soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 15–20 cm spacing to allow healthy growth.

Sowing Temperature & Season

Ideal germination temperature is 20°C–30°C. In Pakistan, the best sowing season is spring (February–April) and late summer (August–September) in cooler regions.

Soil & Care

Use well-drained, fertile soil mixed with compost. Place plants in full sunlight (6–8 hours daily) for optimal growth and aromatic leaves. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Pinch tips regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering if you want prolonged leaf harvest.

Harvest

Leaves can be harvested 4–6 weeks after sowing, and regular picking encourages new growth. Ideal for fresh use in cooking, salads, and garnishes.
