Italian Basil/ Albahaca 4 inch

Bring the authentic taste of the Mediterranean to your kitchen and garden with our live Italian Basil plant in a 4-inch pot (Ocimum basilicum ‘Genovese’). Italian basil is globally beloved for its large, tender, bright green leaves and its exceptionally sweet, aromatic flavor profile with subtle notes of anise and clove. It is the absolute essential herb for making fresh homemade pesto, topping artisanal pizzas, and pairing with ripe tomatoes and mozzarella.

The plant comes well-established in a compact 4-inch nursery pot with healthy roots and lush foliage, making it ready to transfer to a sunny kitchen windowsill, patio container, or garden bed.

How to Care & Grow

1. Sunlight: Position in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of direct daily sunlight) for optimum growth and maximum essential oil production.
2. Soil & Planting: Thrives in rich, fertile, and **well-draining soils** (ideal pH 6.0–7.0). Excellent for pots or garden plots.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water deeply whenever the top layer feels dry.
4. Climate & Maintenance: Adaptable to warm temperate and tropical climates. Pinch off flower buds as soon as they appear to extend leaf production and keep the plant bushy and flavorful.
