Save Your Basil This Winter! Expert Tips for a Green, Fragrant Plant

• Basil plants are delicate and prone to drying out or yellowing in winter due to cold winds and frost.
• Choose a protected location like a balcony or near a window for mild morning sun, shielding it from direct cold.
• Water sparingly, only when the topsoil is dry, to prevent root rot from overwatering in winter.
• Loosen soil every 10-15 days for air circulation and add vermicompost/cow dung monthly for nutrients.
• Remove dry/yellow leaves and cover the plant with a cloth or sheet on cold nights, removing it in the morning.

Why It Matters: Protect delicate basil from winter cold with proper location, watering, soil care, and covering.
