Save Tulsi Plant in  Winter Season

Caring for a Tulsi plant (Holy Basil) in winter can be tricky, as the cold weather can adversely affect its growth and health.

With the right care, you can ensure your Tulsi thrives even during the colder months.

Understanding the  Tulsi Plant is key

1. Tulsi thrives in warm and humid conditions, making it susceptible to the chilly, dry air of winter.

The ideal temperature for Tulsi ranges between 18°C to 26°C. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 10°C.
