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 its leaves can be harvested. 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 near the soil with about a coffee cup's worth. In summer, it requires more regular watering. Remember that the Bottle Garden does not have a drainage hole, 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 be placed outdoors as well. It is not necessary to transfer it to a pot; the Bottle Garden 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.
