How to grow Thai Basil 'Thai Magic'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Thai Magic is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.0 as Thai Magic likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Thai Magic from seed

Sow 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.5 inches (1.27 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Thai Magic about 20 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Thai Magic

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Thai Magic is a tender plant.
