Care Guide
Light
Place in bright sunlight if available. Best kept in balconies, sunny windows or a garden. In hot summers, placing in partial shade is preferable.
Watering
Water your Tulsi plant lightly everyday. If the leaves droop or shrivel up, it is not getting enough water. In monsoons, if your plant is receiving direct rainfall, adjust the amount of water you give accordingly. Always water the soil, not the stems of plant.
