PLANT CARE

  • Once the first leaves appear, pick out the largest plant, remove the others by hand, or cut them at the base with small scissors. (thinning) See grow guide.
  • Harvest as you go, and leaves will grow back. (Approx. 12in.)
  • Once the plant reaches the maximum available height, snip the main core to stop growth.
  • The flowers should be pinched to prevent the leaves from becoming bitter.
