Instructions
Identify when it's time to prune your basil by looking for sets of leaves with nodes below them.
Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts just above the nodes, removing any flower buds that may have formed.
Repeat this process regularly throughout the growing season to encourage bushy growth and abundant leaf production.
Notes
Be sure to provide your basil plants with plenty of sunlight, water, and nutrients to support healthy growth.
