How to Fertilize sweet basil?
Fertilizing sweet basil is key for luxuriant growth and ample foliage. Use balanced nutrition fertilizers early on, switching to high-nitrogen ones to support leaf production. Apply every 4-6 weeks at quarter strength, ensuring not to overfeed. During peak growth in warm seasons, increase frequency marginally. Dilute and spread evenly around the plant's base, avoiding direct contact with stems or leaves. Monitor for signs of over-fertilization, such as brown leaf tips, and adjust use accordingly. For healthy sweet basil, less is often more with fertilization.
