Before harvesting and using them, let’s be informed on the balsamic period, rather the period in which the active principles are present in a greater quantity in the plant we have chosen. Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 2-3 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy.
Care Ocymum basilicum
The development of the the Ocymum basilicum is Ocymum basilicum isn't an evergreen; during the autumn it assumes a green colouring; the adult species are small in size and reach 50 cm in height. The Ocymum basilicum is a year or two year long plant.
Temperatures Ocymum basilicum
For a balanced development of the the Ocymum basilicum , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. Let’s remember that a large part of the leaves of the medicinal plants can be used for alimentary use, therefore let’s use insecticides and anticryptogamics for agricultural use, far from harvest season.The Ocymum basilicum can't tolerate freezings, therefore it is best to grow it in a cold green house or in an apartment; during late Spring we can place them outside, when all risks of freezings are unprobable.
Irrigation Ocymum basilicum
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 2-3 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. Before harvesting and using them, let’s be informed on the balsamic period, rather the period in which the active principles are present in a greater quantity in the plant we have chosen.
Adversity Ocymum basilicum
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.
Substrate Ocymum basilicum
We recommend growing these medicinal plants in a soft and light, very well drained soil.

Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
