Sowing

Timing: Sow sweet Thai basil seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the last frost in your area.
Soil: Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is suitable.
Planting: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in the soil, and cover them lightly with soil. Space seeds or seedlings about 8-12 inches apart.
Sunlight: Sweet Thai Basil loves full sun exposure. Ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent water accumulation.
Temperature: This basil variety prefers warm temperatures and can be sensitive to cold. Plant after the risk of frost has passed.
Thinning: Once the seedlings sprout, thin them to ensure proper airflow and healthy growth.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting when the plant is about 6-8 inches tall. Trim the stems regularly to encourage bushy growth and continuous harvest.
