Basil is a flavorful herb and is mostly grown for its aromatic leaves. Dried or fresh, it can elevate the flavor of your cuisines, especially the homemade basil Pesto. Let’s have a look at everything you need to know about Propagating Basil!

Best Time to Propagate Basil

Basil is extremely sensitive to cold weather. The plant grows best in warm weather and in proper sunlight. If you are growing it in your garden, then make sure that the temperature is at least 50°F (10°C). However, it grows best when the temperature is 70ºF (21°C) or above.

1. Propagating Basil from Seeds

You can get basil seeds from a nursery, a garden center, or online.

Sow seeds in a pot or directly into the garden soil.

Water well and ensure they’re exposed to bright indirect
sunlight until they germinate.

2. From Cuttings

Take 4-6 inches long cutting from a healthy basil plant, right below the leaf node.

Remove the leaves from the end and plant it into the soil.

Make sure you choose a spot that receives ample sunlight.

3. From Layering

Growing basil from layering can be done easily too.
This method works by selecting a stem/branch from a basil
plant and relocating it into the soil. In this manner,
the root system of the plant remains undisturbed.

Select a healthy branch of the basil plant.

Remove leaves from the stem section.

Bend it to the ground and cover it with soil. Make sure to
leave 5-6 inches of the end stem section above the ground.

This stem will be nourished by the mother plant until it forms the roots.
Make sure it receives proper sunlight and water well.
