Basil is the best starter plant for indoor growing. It grows fast, is easy to care for and is versatile in the kitchen. With a GrowlyBox cabinet you can have fresh basil leaves year-round.
Pruning — the secret to abundant harvests
Basil grows bushy and doubles leaf production when pruned regularly. Cut from the top when the plant reaches 15 cm. Remove flower buds as soon as you see them — flowering makes leaves bitter.
Harvest
Cut leaves with the stem. Harvest early in the morning when aromatic oils are at their peak.
