Plant Care Guide

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light or soft morning sun. Avoid harsh, scorching afternoon sunlight, which can burn the tender leaves.

• Watering: Maru loves moisture. Water daily or whenever the top layer of soil feels dry. Never allow the soil to become bone dry, as this can cause the plant to wilt.

• Soil: Thrives in a rich, well-draining potting mix with organic compost or vermicompost.

• Fertilization: Feed with light organic liquid fertilizer or vermicompost every 3–4 weeks to encourage bushy growth and fragrance.

• Pruning: Regular harvesting or light trimming of the stem tips will encourage the plant to grow bushier and produce more fragrant leaves.
