Plant Care Guide

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can handle some morning sun, avoid the scorching midday Chennai sun to prevent leaf wilting.

• Watering: Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the 10-inch pot drains well.

• Soil: Use a light, well-draining potting mix enriched with organic compost.

• Fertilization: A handful of vermicompost once a month is sufficient to keep the foliage lush and fragrant.

• Pruning: Regularly pinch off the tips or prune long stems to encourage the plant to grow bushier and produce more aromatic leaves.
