Cuidados e Dicas
- How long does it take to grow?
When sown during spring or summer, basil can take between 2 to 3 months before you can harvest the leaves. Basil should always be harvested from the top; as it grows, always remove the upper part of the plant, leaving some leaves below so it can continue to grow.
- Will it grow back?
Basil is an annual plant. After harvesting all the leaves, you should replace the soil and plant more seeds.
- How often should I water it?
Basil likes moist soil, but not soggy. Check with your finger in the soil: if it feels dry, water it at the base with about a coffee cup's worth of water. In summer, it requires more regular watering. Remember that the Grow Bag has no drainage holes, and if it retains too much water at the bottom, it can harm the plant.
- Should I place it outside or transfer it to a pot?
Our kits are designed for indoor use, in a location with light and direct sunlight, but they can also be placed outdoors. It is not necessary to transfer it to a pot; the Grow Bag has enough space for the basil to grow.
- Are there whiteflies on the leaves?
Your plant is infested with whiteflies. To combat this, you can dissolve 1 teaspoon of soap flakes and add 5 drops of oil to half a liter of warm water, then place it in a spray bottle. Spray until the whiteflies are well covered. You can also use neem oil, which is a natural insect repellent.
