Sun Requirements ▾
Full sun is essential for vigorous growth and maximum flavour development. Plant in a location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Bright sunlight encourages dense growth, strong fragrance, and abundant leaf production.
Watering Instructions ▾
Moderate. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering promotes lush growth and helps maintain the best flavour and leaf quality.
Care Tips ▾
Harvest frequently by pinching stems just above a set of leaves to encourage branching and fuller growth. Remove flower buds as they appear if you wish to maximize leaf production. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
