How to Use

  2. Plant the Basil Lime Seeds approximately 6 mm deep and 30 cm apart. Lightly cover with soil and water gently.
  3. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, watering daily or as needed.
  4. Once the plants have reached approximately 15 cm in height, pinch off the tips to encourage bushier growth and prevent them from becoming too leggy.
  5. Harvest the leaves as needed, taking care not to remove more than one-third of the plant at a time. This will allow the plant to continue producing for an extended period.
