Basic Instructions for Growing Tulsi
We are sending you between 20-30 seeds. Please don't plant all your seeds as you would need 20-30 pots, one tulsi tree per pot.
The seeds are tiny and black or dark brown. There are some hulls also which may still contain some seeds. What you want to plant are the tiny black seeds only.
Best get some seeding compost and a tray or pot and plant some single seeds apart from each other. Cover them very slightly with fine and sieved compost and keep moist. If you allow them to dry out they will not germinate. You could cover the pot or tray with a piece of glass to keep the moisture in until the first green seedlings appear.
Once they are large enough to handle transplant each in a separate clay pot, first smaller and in due course of time larger.
Tulsi needs a warm window spot in your house with plenty of sunlight. Best is an East or South facing window without any or much shadow from neighbouring buildings. In the summer you can also place her in a greenhouse or take her outside into the sun on a sunny day. She will love it.
Tulsi doesn't like too much water when having grown larger. If you overwater her her leafs with dry out around the edges.
You can always get in touch if you have any questions. Don't forget Tulsi is bhakti devi. She thrives on bhakti or devotion. Sing to her, chant and pray in front of her and speak with her and she will grow beyond your expectations.
