Thai tulsi seeds, Timing: Start the seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your region. This will give the plants a head start before transplanting them outside. Seed starting containers: Fill seed starting trays or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix or a mixture of potting soil and perlite. Sowing seeds: Sow the Thai basil seeds on the soil surface, lightly pressing them into the soil without covering them completely. Thai basil seeds require light to germinate. Moisture and warmth: Mist the soil surface with water to provide moisture without disturbing the seeds. Place a clear plastic cover or plastic wrap over the trays to create a greenhouse-like environment. This helps retain moisture and warmth, aiding germination. Germination: Thai basil seeds typically germinate within 1-2 weeks. Maintain a temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C) during this period. Check the trays regularly and ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Lighting: Once the seeds have germinated and sprouted, remove the plastic cover and place the trays in a location with bright, indirect light or under fluorescent lights. Adequate light is essential for the healthy growth of Thai basil plants.
