Commercial herb pot growing:

Remove the plastic cover from the Basil, and place it with the pot in a Herbie. Remove all interspersed and shrivelled leaves and stems. Add the nutrients in the water.

When you buy Basil from the store, always check that the leaves do not have dark areas. This means that the plant has got frostbite, and it most probably will not recover. Do not buy an herb or plant where the soil in the pot is dry. This could mean that the roots are damaged and it will be partly decayed.

How to harvest basil:

When repairing the harvest, do not pluck individual leaves as this will only increase the basil’s stem. The basilica is harvested by pollarding. Pollarding means that the top of the basilica is removed after the third leaf pair. Pollarding also increases the volume. However, always leave a few remaining leaves, that the growth won’t stop.

With seed pods, you can start harvesting the plant about a month after inserting it. You can start harvesting scions after about 2 weeks.
