Your care routine

Light

Full sun in an open position.

Watering

Keep soil moist but drained during warm growth; do not let a small container dry completely.

Soil & drainage

Fertile, freely draining container compost or a warm bed.

Temperature

Frost-tender crop: start with warmth and move outside only after cold weather has passed.

Planting

Start indoors with warmth and light. Move outside only after frost; allow room for branching.

Harvest

Cut leafy shoots before heavy flowering. This guide provides growing advice, not dietary or medical advice.

Through the seasons

Pinch young tips for branching. Bring a pot indoors before cold weather if you want to try overwintering it.

When your plant needs help

  • Keep growing roots warm and moist, then protect from frost; growing advice does not imply medical benefits.
