Holy Basil, or Tulsi, is the most sacred and widely grown herb in Indian households, revered in Hindu tradition and central to Ayurveda. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this aromatic perennial herb forms a small bushy plant with fragrant green or purplish leaves and slender spikes of tiny purple-white flowers. Both Rama (green) and Krishna (purple) Tulsi are popular. Beyond its religious importance, Tulsi is prized for its medicinal leaves used in teas, kadha and remedies for cough, cold and immunity. It is easy to grow in pots and is believed to bring health, purity and positive energy to the home.

How often should I water Tulsi?
Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top layer dries, usually daily in summer. Avoid soggy, waterlogged soil.
Why is my Tulsi plant drying or dying?
Common causes are overwatering, poor drainage, cold weather, pest attack, or letting it flower and set seed too heavily. Pinch flowers and improve drainage.
Should I remove the flowers from Tulsi?
Yes, pinching off the flower spikes (manjari) regularly keeps the plant bushy, prolongs its life, and keeps leaves tender for use.
How do I propagate Tulsi?

Can I grow Tulsi indoors?
It prefers outdoor sun, but can grow on a bright sunny balcony or windowsill. In low light it becomes leggy and weak.
How do I keep Tulsi alive in winter?
Protect it from frost and cold winds, reduce watering, place it in the warmest sunny spot, and prune lightly to help it through the season.
What pests attack Tulsi?
Aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies and caterpillars are common. Spray with diluted neem oil and remove affected leaves to control them.
