The Tulsi Plant (Ocimum tenuiflorum), also known as Holy Basil, is revered for its medicinal, spiritual, and air-purifying qualities. Widely grown in Indian households, Tulsi is known to boost immunity, improve air quality, and promote well-being. Its aromatic leaves are commonly used in herbal teas, remedies, and rituals, making it a must-have plant for every home.

Light requirement:

Tulsi thrives in full to partial sunlight. Place it in a bright spot where it can get at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil requirement:

Prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. A mix of garden soil, sand, and compost is ideal for healthy growth.

Water requirement:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Tulsi is not just a plant—it’s a symbol of purity, positivity, and health, perfect for any household.
