How to grow basil without any previous gardening experience

Basil loves sunlight. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow vigorously.

• Place pots or garden beds in a sunny spot, such as a south-facing window or balcony.

• If natural light is limited, supplement with a grow light.

• Basil grows best in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C).

• Protect plants from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
