Large, fragrant, and dark green leaves.Planting instructions: For rapid germination, it is necessary to warm the basil seeds to 100 F for 3 hours. After warming up the seeds must be saturated with moisture. Take cotton pads or a piece of gauze, put the warmed seeds there, tie with a thread. Pour warm water about 100 F, place the grains there. Place in a warm place with a temperature (75-95 F) for at least 20 hours up to 2 days. At the same time, water is changed every 12 hours. After 30-60 minutes, the seeds will be covered with mucus, this is the process of dissolving the essential oils. Gently rinse a bag of gauze or a cotton pad in water to rinse off the mucus. Dry slightly.The soil should be well-drained with a pH of 6-7.5. Basically, the best time to plant basil seeds is in the spring. Keep the soil moist. The growing basil seeds should germinate within a week. The seedling can be recognized by D-shaped seed leaves that will have flat sides facing each other. To be successful in planting basil seeds inside, it can be done about six to eight weeks before you would normally plant them outside so you can get a good head start on the basil plant growing season.
