Growing Tulsi plant

[Oldposts]

Tejal:
Window sill does give it some light and it growing vertical to reach that light , which probably mostly from top and not scatttered.

Most important thing is, that window sill become very cold during winter.Air near windows becomes cold when it comes in contact with glass. I have confirmed it by placing thermometer. Please try to keep plant about a foot away from window. I actually had to remove my tropical plants further away and set up a "Plant growing light". Iturn it on for 3-4 hours a day. Thay are doing much better.

Regards,
Arvind

I have a small ram tulsi that i got from my temple, and it was growing very slowly but healthily, and now, just as it is starting to branch out, it's leaves are dying while still very small. i have fertilized it well with organic material, and made sure it has a lot of water because tulsi likes water, but it still looks poor. any advice?

Just a question on how to circumabulate the Tulsi.
Which way to start from facing the Tulsi my left or right. I give jal whenever I can, can we pluck leaf and eat it.

That's the trouble - too much water - you suffocated the roots!
