Sowing Instructions

How to Grow Green Pepper Basil:

  • Planting: Green Pepper Basil thrives in warm, sunny conditions. Sow the seeds directly into the garden in late spring, after the winter has passed, or start them indoors 4-6 weeks earlier. Ensure that the seeds are planted in well-drained soil, and keep about 30 cm of space between the seeds for proper airflow.
  • Watering and Soil: Basil loves moist but not waterlogged soil. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, is beneficial, but avoid overwatering as it can cause root rot. Well-drained soil enriched with organic matter will promote lush growth.
  • Harvesting: Begin harvesting when the plant reaches a height of about 15 cm. Pick leaves as needed, ensuring to leave enough foliage to support continued growth. Regular harvesting not only provides a steady supply of fresh basil but also encourages healthy and vibrant growth.

Recommended instructions:

sowing:

  • Select a full sunny sowing area
  • Plan the amount of seeds according to 1 m² depending on the size of the area / vessel
  • Number of seeds per square meter: 10-20
  • Sowing depth is twice the size of the seed, 1-0.5 cm deep
  • Keep soil moist until germination. (Not too wet)
  • Watering once a day to once every three days (depending on the season)
  • It is recommended to use compost and organic nutrients and microbes.
