Did You Know? Regularly pruning Manjaris (flower buds) helps your Tulsi plant grow bushier and stay healthier.
Learn the secrets to growing a lush, vibrant Tulsi plant at home.
Tip 1: Pot Size matters
For a healthy and bushy Tulsi plant, grow it into a 10- or 12-inch clay pot.
Note: If the pot is too small, your Tulsi plant won’t grow bushy or healthy and will keep drying up.
Tip 2: Pinch to Encourage Bushy Growth
If you want your Tulsi plant to grow bushy instead of developing a single stem, pinch off the growing tip regularly.
Continue removing new flower buds to delay blooming—this helps keep the plant green, leafy, and full.
To maintain healthy growth, ensure the soil stays loose and well-aerated; avoid letting it become compact and hard.
Select a sunny, warm place that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Avoid letting the soil stay too dry or too soggy. Always water the plant only when the topsoil feels completely dry to the touch.
Boost your Tulsi's growth by adding organic fertilizers such as cow dung manure or compost tea every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
Tulsi is truly one of nature’s most precious and freely given gifts to humanity. Happy gardening!
