The&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;plant &nbsp;is indeed an aromatic plant that everyone, following the right advice, can grow, perhaps alongside others, such as thyme, rosemary and mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how to get&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the balcony full of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fragrant leaves<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, without letting it dry out at the first distraction? Let&#8217;s find out together, following these simple&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>tips<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vivodibenessere.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/coltivare-basilico-balcone.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">water in the morning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watering<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;a basil plant seems like a simple task, but it is perhaps the one that requires more attention! To water basil, we must first&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>avoid overdoing it<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or we will make its roots suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We limit ourselves to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>wetting<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>soil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of the plant to keep it always&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>moist<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, but&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>without compacting it<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;with too much water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, especially in the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><strong>spring<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and summer&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>months&nbsp; , it is preferable to water&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>in the morning<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, when temperatures are not yet too high and the plant has plenty of time to absorb the water without it evaporating.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Warning<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: If your seedling appears to be in pain and you are unable to recover, seek professional advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give him some ground coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeding&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is essential to always have&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>new<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fragrant<\/strong>&nbsp;leaves &nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fertilizer<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;purchased at the nursery or florist. A natural and homemade solution is to use&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;coffee&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>grounds . Take&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>about 3 of them<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>crumble them<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>spread them<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the ground at the base of the plant: over time, these will release&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>nitrogen<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, a substance that stimulates the growth of the plant.<strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, you can use&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>wood ash<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, also spreading it directly on the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>soil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;at the base of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;about other uses for coffee grounds for your plants here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spray water on the leaves.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>leaves<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;always&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fragrant<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, in the spring and summer months, spray a little&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fresh water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>foliage<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of your&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, the leaves will stay fresh, they will dry more slowly, and you will be able to maintain the ideal humidity level for this plant to feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, we should not overdo it, limiting ourselves to performing this operation&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>once<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>twice<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;a week at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A secret? Add a few drops of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>neem oil<\/strong>&nbsp;to the water &nbsp;: this natural substance will help you keep parasites and insects typical of summer away from the plant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Discover here<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;all the secrets to scare away parasites using this substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose the right place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the best place to store basil is essential to making it grow lushly and having a quick and abundant&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>renewal<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>leaves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the warm months, we can safely keep our basil plant on the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>balcony<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, so outside. Ideally, we should choose a place with&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>indirect sunlight<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, i.e. away from the scorching rays of the sun that can cause the more delicate leaves to dry out and fall off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>avoid<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;placing the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;in a place where there is often&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>wind<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;too strong&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>gusts can&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>break<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>twigs<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or detach the leaves, weakening the plant.<strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here you will find other wellness secrets<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of this plant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">remove the flowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;plant &nbsp;is doing well and is grown in the right way,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>flowers<\/strong>&nbsp;may appear &nbsp;. These are small, light-colored and pleasing to the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when the flowers appear on the plant, it uses a lot of its energy to keep them alive. As a result, the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>basil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>weaker<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>leaves<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;also tend to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>lose<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;their&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>smell<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>flavor<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to do? Simple, you have to pluck or cut the flowers: you can do it with a&nbsp; pair&nbsp;&nbsp;of garden&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>scissors or, more quickly, with&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>your hands<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, being careful not to damage the other parts of the plant.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find out here<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;how to care for aromatic plants in the kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is nothing more beautiful, for cooking lovers, than going out onto the&nbsp;balcony&nbsp;&nbsp;, picking a&nbsp;&nbsp;basil&nbsp;leaf&nbsp;&nbsp;from your plant and using it to prepare dishes and dishes!
