Overview

Basil is a warm-weather herb grown for its aromatic leaves. Often used as a garnish, it adds delicious flavors to dishes. Basil is a source of Vitamins A, C, and K.

Conditions

For soil, use a potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables and herbs. Basil thrives in warm temperatures, optimum being 70–85°F. For the best quality leaves, provide basil with full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight) and consistent moisture (don’t let the topsoil become dry to the touch).

Planting

Because basil prefers warm growing temperatures, it’s recommended to plant seeds outdoors when the ground is warm. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 5–10 days. Basil can be planted outdoors directly or started indoors then transplanted:

Plant seed outdoors (recommended): Plant seeds 1/4" deep, 2-3 seeds per inch. Firm the soil over the seeds. Thinning is not necessary, but a final spacing of 4-8" apart produces healthy, full plants.

Transplant: Plant seeds indoors in starter pots 6 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors. Plant 1/4" deep and keep at 70°F (21°C) for best germination. Transplant outdoors when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, spacing at 4-8" apart.

Care

After the seedlings have produced their first six leaves, prune (removing a part of a plant to encourage growth) or cut the stem above the second set. This encourages the plants to start branching, resulting in more leaves for harvest. Every time a branch has six to eight leaves, repeat pruning the branches back to their first set of leaves. After about 6 weeks, pinch off the center shoot to prevent early flowering. If flowers do grow, just cut them off. 

Pests and Disease

Basil is not as afflicted with pests and disease as other plants, but it is prone to nutrient deficiencies. There are three reasons why basil yellows: too much water, too little sun, and/or not enough nutrients. If basil leaves are yellowing, temporarily stop watering, move the plant to a sunnier location, and feed it with a balanced organic fertilizer.

Harvest

Begin light harvesting after plants have become established at 6-8” tall. Harvest in the early morning, when leaves are at their juiciest. A full harvest should be completed just before the plants start to flower. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle carefully. The best method for storing basil is freezing in an airtight, resealable plastic bag. Freezing will prevent the plant from losing a good portion of its flavor.

Great for behind a dresser
Size: 5 FT (2 prong plug), Color: White
Works great. Plug lays flat against the wall. Doesn't charge great on USB C ports, but it'll get you by. USB charging is 2 out of 5. Quality seems 4 out of 5.

Excellent cable tray—holds everything securely and installs in minutes!
Color: Black, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W
So glad I bought this! The Univivi cable management tray was exactly what I needed to clean up the mess under my desk without drilling or damaging the surface. The clamp-on design is sturdy and holds tight, and setup took just a couple of minutes with no tools needed beyond what’s in the box. I was pleasantly surprised that it holds a full-size power strip securely using the included straps, and there’s still plenty of room for additional cables and adapters. The tray is breathable and helps keep everything from being visible, off the floor and out of sight. If you're looking for a non-permanent solution for organizing power bricks, cords, and excess cable length, this is a great choice. Functional, neat, and hassle-free—highly recommended!

Game changer for cable management – clean setup in minutes
Color: Black, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W, Color: Black, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W
This under-desk cable tray is exactly what I needed. Installation was stupid easy with the clamp mounts — no drilling, no damage to my desk, and it feels rock solid once tightened. The fabric tray holds way more than I expected (power strip + multiple cables) and keeps everything hidden instead of dangling everywhere. My setup instantly looks cleaner and more intentional. If you care about a minimal desk aesthetic, this is a no-brainer. Build quality is better than I expected for the price. The metal brackets are sturdy, the fabric is thick, and it comes with plenty of straps for organizing cables properly. If you’re tired of seeing cable spaghetti under your desk, buy this. Simple, effective, and worth every dollar. Highly recommended.
