How To Grow

• Fill a container or seed tray with Serbajadi Seed Starter and lightly moisten the soil with a water spray.
• Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface (basil seeds need light – press gently but do not bury) and mist with water.
• Apply Serbajadi Organic Seed Booster to enhance germination and encourage strong seedling development.
• Place in a warm spot with morning sun but protected from harsh afternoon heat. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Transplant seedlings to larger containers or garden beds once they have 4-6 true leaves. Begin harvesting when plants are 15-20cm tall.

Pro Tip: Pinch off flower buds as soon as they appear to keep your basil producing tender, flavourful leaves longer. Harvest from the top down, cutting just above a leaf pair – this encourages bushier growth and more leaves. For the best flavour, harvest in the morning after dew has dried!
