The basil plant is a very popular herb native to tropical regions from Central Africa to Southeast Asia. With its bright green, broadly lobed, beautifully aromatic, edible leaves, the Basil would be a great addition, or start, to your indoor herb garden!
Being that it’s from a tropical environment, it thrives in warm temperatures, high humidity, indirect bright light, evenly moist soil and will grow up to 1 ft tall indoors. This makes them great for an herb garden in your kitchen or dining room!
Over time this plant may drop some leaves, but don’t be alarmed, this is just a natural occurrence in the plant’s life cycle.
