1. Choosing the Container: Select an 8-12 inch deep container with good drainage.
2. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
3. Sowing Seeds: Sow seeds directly into the soil, lightly pressing them in. Keep the soil moist until seeds germinate in 7-10 days.
4. Sunlight and Watering: Place the container in a sunny spot (at least 6 hours daily). Water regularly to keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging.
5. Maintenance:Fertilize every 2-3 weeks. Pinch off flowers to focus on leaf growth.
6. Harvesting: Cut leaves when they are 3-6 inches tall. Collect seeds once the plant flowers.
