Growing Healthy Basil Plants

To improve the growth of basil plants, make sure to plant them in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Water regularly, but be careful not to overwater as basil prefers slightly dry conditions. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Prune the tips regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering. Harvest basil leaves by cutting them from the top to encourage continuous growth.
