Japanese basil

Japanese basil cultivation

Home garden recommendation (★★★)

 

A delicious Japanese basil when fried with spices and meat!

But if you buy it, you will not be able to use it all at once, and it will become old.

I thought it would be useful if I wanted to use it in the Japanese home garden.

 

 

Basic way of raising Japanese basil

 

Department of Japanese basil Genus of Japanese basil
(Place of origin: Himalaya, China)

Suitable temperature for germination 22-25 ° C (photophilic seed)

Sunlight conditions About half a day is required

Suitable temperature for growth 23-28 ° C (preferably hot and humid)

Consecutive failure

Watering Favor wetness so that the soil does not dry out.

Fixing period When the stock grows (basic, no additional fertilization is OK)

 

Growth considerations

Be careful not to dry the roots because they are vulnerable to drying. (Draw straw etc.)
The roots and leaves work together, and when the roots are damaged,
stiff leaves are formed and the quality is lowered.
Since flower buds will be attached on short days,
if you want to harvest for a long time,
it should be placed in a place that is not exposed to light or light during the night.
When the number of leaves reaches 10 or more,
it is picked from the lower leaves (cutting from the top slows down)
If you want to grow a lot of side buds and harvest soft ones,
there is a way to cut the top of the side buds.
