Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is a sacred plant in Hindu culture and is widely used for medicinal purposes. It is also a popular herb for cooking and making teas. If you want to grow a healthy Tulsi plant, it is essential to know the right depth to plant it. In this article, we will discuss how deep Tulsi plants need to be planted and some tips on how to grow them.
Tulsi seeds are tiny and should be planted at a shallow depth of about 1/4 inch (6mm) into the soil. It is best to sow the seeds directly into the soil rather than starting them indoors and transplanting them later. Tulsi seeds require warmth and moisture to germinate, so it is essential to keep the soil moist until the seedlings emerge.
Tulsi cuttings can also be used for propagation instead of seeds. To propagate Tulsi from cuttings, take a healthy stem from the mother plant and remove the lower leaves. Dip the cut end into rooting hormone powder and plant it in well-draining soil. The cutting should be planted at a depth of about 2 inches (5cm) into the soil. Keep the soil moist until roots develop, and you see new growth.
