Description
Start indoors: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Use a seed-starting mix and sow the seeds about ¼ inch deep..Provide light and warmth: Place the seed tray in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F . Blue Spice Basil needs plenty of light to germinate, so place it near a sunny window or under a grow light..Water regularly: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle or a gentle watering can to avoid disturbing the seeds..Transplant outdoors: Once the seedlings have developed their second set of true leaves and the weather is warm enough (usually after the last frost), transplant them outdoors. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil..Harden off seedlings: Before planting, acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions gradually. Start by placing them outdoors for a few hours a day and gradually increase the time and exposure to sun and wind over the course of a week.
