A perennial herbaceous shrub. Grown in open ground, balcony boxes, or window containers. It is grown all year-round indoors, subject to good lighting and regular watering. The leaves are used for cooking and medicinal purposes. Tulasi is also popular as an ornamental houseplant.
Planting instructions: Tulsi seeds should be started indoors 6 to 12 weeks before the last frost. Since tulsi is a tropical plant, it requires warm temperatures to germinate and should be kept in a place that’s at least 70 F (20 C). If your house is particularly cool, consider using a seedling heat mat to warm soil temperatures. The soil should be kept continuously moist, but not soggy. Seeds will germinate about 3 weeks after planting. The plants are very frost sensitive, and should not be moved outdoors until several weeks after the last frost date. Even then, remember to give them an acclimation period to harden off by bringing them indoors into a sheltered place at night for a week or so before permanently planting outdoors. Cold frames are also a good option. If you’re growing tulsi indoors, be sure that the plant has ample sunlight in a south-facing window for at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
