Planting and Care for Rama Tulasi
Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil or grow bags. Keep soil consistently moist during germination, as seeds are small.
Growing: Water regularly, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged. Pinch back growing tips periodically to encourage bushier growth and prevent early flowering.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting leaves 45-60 days after sowing by picking mature leaves from the top of the plant — regular harvesting encourages continued growth and a fuller plant.
Precautions While Growing Rama Tulasi
Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot
Pinch off flower buds regularly to prolong the plant's leafy growth phase
Watch for aphids and whiteflies; use organic pest control methods where needed
Provide good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid conditions
