How to sow and care for Herb Basil Gustosa Seeds

When planting seeds indoors, late February to mid-summer is best. Spread basil Gustosa seeds over the top of a 7,5 cm pot filled with seed compost. Firm down. It is not necessary to plant more seeds than you need, so plant just a few more. Put the plant in a propagator after wrapping it in vermiculite and watering gently. If you do not have one, it does not matter. The pot can be covered with a clear, small freezer bag, and it can be secured with an elastic band. Germination usually takes 10 days to 2 weeks at a temperature of 15-18°C.

Since the plants are easily grown, there is little need to worry about them. Basil gustosa should be planted outdoors after all frost danger has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil, or grow plants in containers. When roots start showing through holes in the bottom of a pot, move it into a larger container until the pot is 20 cm in diameter. Regularly prune your plants' branches to keep them bushy and productive, and remove any flowers as soon as they appear. That's all you need to do.
