Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-85°F. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained soil, spacing 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and more leaves. Harvest leaves as needed, and remove flower buds to prolong leaf production if desired. Basil is sensitive to cold; protect plants if temperatures drop below 50°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e5000 Siam Queen Thai Basil seeds (Non-GMO).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377096200289,"sku":"Seeds - siam queen thai basil-37","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/0796\/7073\/files\/ganang85.jpg?v=1794554771","url":"https:\/\/8storeseedsejahtera.store\/products\/siam-queen-thai-basil-seeds-5000-non-gmo-herb-seeds-for-planting","provider":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
