FAQ
What length of time can I keep an indoor flower alive?
Indoor plants can survive up to ten years. To promote new growth, it is essential to repot your indoor plants every few month. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.
When is it best to plant herbs?
When the soil temperature is 55°F, herbs should be planted in spring. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. For basil indoors, plant seedlings in potting mix-filled pots and let them grow until they produce leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After approximately three weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Continue to water them as needed.
How often should my indoor plants be watered?
Watering indoor plants should be done every two days. Watering helps maintain humidity levels inside the house. Humidity is essential for healthy plants.
Which is the best layout for a vegetable garden?
Your location will determine the best layout for your vegetable garden. For easy harvesting, it is best to plant vegetables in the same area as your home. However, if you live in a rural area, you should space out your plants for maximum yield.
What should you do first when you start a garden?

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination can take up to ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Add potting mix to each container. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
