DESCRIPTION

Introducing our Sweet Basil plant, a culinary staple known for its aromatic leaves and fresh flavor. Belonging to the Lamiaceae family, with the scientific name Ocimum basilicum, this herb originated in tropical regions of Asia and is now cherished worldwide. To thrive, sweet basil requires ample sunlight, so ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, whether indoors or outdoors. In Singapore's climate, maintain moist but well-drained soil, watering 2-3 times per week or whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious not to overwater to prevent root rot. Sweet basil is relatively easy to care for and adds a delightful fragrance to your indoor or outdoor space. While generally pet-friendly, monitor your pets around the plant to prevent overconsumption. Bring home our Sweet Basil plant and elevate your culinary adventures with fresh, homegrown flavor straight from your garden.
