* Growing basil at home is also possible. It is better to start growing this plant in the spring, using boxes or pots. Basil needs nutritious and light soil with the addition of peat.
The most suitable temperature for growing is +25°C. Growing basil should be done on a sunny windowsill. If you want to get a beautiful, sprawling bush, then you should pinch the top of the bush - "dazzle".
Since basil does not like excessive moisture, it should be watered only when the soil begins to dry out (watering is best done in the morning).
Windowsill-grown basil is less prone to disease than garden-grown basil, however, if you notice "diseased" stems, they should be removed so they don't infect other plants.
Never pluck all the greens (especially at the root of the plant), but simply pinch off individual leaves as needed.
