  • For this herb, there is no limit to the number of seedlings per pod. Just let it thrive!
  • Use one lamp arm to grow basil and avoid raising the lamp too high. If it grows too tall just cut it back, this will also promote new growth- that means more yield.
  • Lemon basil likes to be cut! You can start trimming your plants about a month after planting. You may remove single leaves occasionally… But, for more thriving growth, pinching off the whole tip is recommended – it will grow two new shoots in a week.
  • Trimming your plant will also delay flowering and prevents developing a bitter taste.
  • Please note that basil is an annual plant. It does not last forever. If it has been nearly twelve weeks and the plant looks aged, it is time to replace the pod.
  • It is a privilege to have fresh herbs on hand. But, you may end up having too much yield before the pods’ life cycle ends. Feel free to air dry it and store it in a sealed jar up to a year. So easy!
