The cutting of Tulsi, dipped in honey and placed in half perlite, half potting soil, has quickly rooted. I removed it from the plastic bag when I noticed roots emerging from the drainage holes. When I gently coaxed the root ball out of the pot I was pleased with the exuberant evidence of roots. I will leave the plant out of the bag, and in the same pot, for another week or two. Then I will plant it in organic soil amended with some natural fertilizer. Once again, I must rave about this basil. It is wonderful!
