Is Rama Tulsi safe for pets?

When and how do I repot it?
Repot annually into fresh, well-drained, compost-rich soil, or refresh the topsoil to keep it vigorous.
How is it propagated?
Propagate from seeds sown in warm soil or from stem cuttings, both of which root easily.
Should I let it flower?
For more leaves and a longer-lived plant, pinch off the flower spikes regularly; allow some to flower if you want seeds or bees.
How do I use the leaves?
Use the clove-scented leaves fresh or dried in herbal teas, kadha and traditional remedies for coughs and colds.
Can it be grown indoors?
It grows best outdoors in full sun, but it can be kept on a bright, sunny windowsill or balcony.

No, it is a non-toxic, edible herb valued in Ayurveda and Indian households.
What fertilizer should I use?
Feed lightly with organic compost or vermicompost; avoid heavy chemical fertilizers, which can reduce the aroma.
