Basil seeds?
Hello everyone,
I wanted to buy basil seeds. Do you know any particular brands of seeds that are particularly good or do they all thrive the same or how big they can get?

Strange spots in the pot
Hi, we bought a pool yesterday from BBM Baumarkt. It's a Bestway product, measuring 3.58 x 7.30 x 1.32 cm. The long sides warped inward overnight (while filling). Will this go away once the pool is completely filled? The outer legs are all tight, and we've also dug out the floor. Here is the current…
Hello 🙂 I have planned the specified bed: But I have one question: How many 9cm pots do I need for these plants? Can I plant just one plant in the circles, or should I plant several? Especially with taller plants, like fake lilies.
Hi everyone, can you just sow these plants, or do you have to grow them somehow? Are they perennial?
Hello, we have a rose plant at home. This one doesn't have any flowers at the moment, and the one was in a pot with plenty of soil. Unfortunately, it was infested by insects (I have no idea what these insects are called), and since they lay eggs, we need to repot them anyway. The…
It's grown quite large leaves now. One thing hasn't worked so far, though: Whenever I shaded it with a box, a swarm of small mosquitoes regularly gathered underneath. I don't have a basement where I could put it, either.
Wait until March to sow.
The usual Genover basil is okay
All right, thank you. One question regarding sowing: Can't I do it at home? Because the room temperature at our house is 23 degrees Celsius.
Yes, but now it would be too dark.
Maybe the basic plant should simply be repotted. It's best to divide it into four portions.

I got one from the supermarket, but it grows very slowly. How do I propagate it with cuttings?
Light, warmth, wind.
Now you can easily propagate regular basil from the supermarket using cuttings.
Achso also brauchen die licht richtig?
If you don't insist on organic seeds, any basil seeds from a discount store, supermarket, or hardware store will do.
You can grow it year-round in a sunny, bright, and warm spot (like a windowsill). However, during the darker months, natural light is a bit too limited for it, so it will struggle. Grow light?
Make sure it's a light germinator. This means don't cover the seeds with soil, just press them down and keep them moist at all times. Since basil thrives next to tomato plants, it has similar nutrient requirements.
Personally, I prefer "black" basil because it's more resilient, more flavorful, and more attractive, and its flowers also have ornamental and savory qualities. When the green basil dies, the dark basil stays in good shape for a long time. It's also easy to propagate from cuttings. Simply cut a few sprigs, place them in water, and then plant.
There are various varieties of basil, but the "normal green" variety is the easiest to cultivate. Sowing and further cultivation is also possible indoors on a windowsill.
Go to a garden center – eg Dehner, Koelle they have good seeds in their assortment
