FAQs

1) How much sun does basil need?

- Basil needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to grow well.

2) How often should I water basil?

3) How do I prune basil?

- Prune basil regularly by pinching back the tips of the stems to encourage bushier growth. This also helps to prevent flowering and prolong the life of the plant.

4) What are some common problems when growing basil?
