Instructions d'entretien

Ocimum americanum thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry, and it benefits from moderate humidity levels. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is essential for healthy growth.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support its growth and development.

Rempotage

Repot Ocimum americanum annually or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil to provide new nutrients. Repotting is best done in the spring.

Propagation

Propagate this plant through stem cuttings or seeds. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, and root them in water or a well-draining soil mix. Seeds can be sown directly into the soil after the last frost.

Taille

Prune Ocimum americanum regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning is best done during the growing season.

Toxicité

Ocimum americanum is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in households with pets and children.
