The tip likely relates to a common and effective method for growing healthy basil plants: proper pruning and care techniques. Here’s some insight into what that tip might be:
- Pinching Off Flowers:
- When basil starts to flower, its energy shifts from growing leaves to producing seeds. Regularly pinch off flower buds to encourage the plant to focus on leaf growth.
- Pruning for Growth:
- Prune the plant by cutting just above a pair of leaves on a stem. This encourages the plant to branch out and become bushier. It’s often best to start pruning early, when the plant is about 6 inches tall.
- Light and Warmth:
- Basil thrives in full sunlight. Ensure it gets at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If growing indoors, place it near a sunny window or use grow lights.
