About the product
What Tulsi Seeds (Holy Basil) is
Tulsi, or holy basil, earns its spot on nearly every Indian balcony for two reasons at once - it's the herb households reach for in a daily cup of kadha or tea, and it's also the plant kept by the door or in the courtyard for its place in everyday puja. Growing your own means fresh leaves on hand whenever you need them, instead of buying a small bunch that wilts within a day or two.
It's also the quickest turnaround in this batch: leaves are ready to start picking in about 45-60 days, well ahead of any of the flowers here. Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep and keep the soil lightly moist rather than letting it dry out between waterings - tulsi is a little less forgiving of dry spells than the flowering annuals. It's happy with slightly less direct sun too, 4-6 hours daily instead of a strict 5-6, and needs just 20-25 cm between plants, so a single medium pot on a sunny window ledge is enough to keep a household in fresh leaves.
Why it works
Benefits & key features
- 01
Fastest harvest in this batch
Leaves are ready in 45-60 days, well ahead of any of the flowering seeds in this range.
- 02
Everyday kitchen and household use
Tulsi is grown for both cooking and tea as well as its familiar place in daily household puja.
- 03
Tolerates slightly less direct sun
It's listed for 4-6 hours of sun a day, a touch more flexible than the flowers here that need a full 5-6.
- 04
Huge seed count per pack
At around 9, 000 seeds in a 5 g pack, one packet covers repeated sowings over a long stretch.
Sowing guide
- Step01
Sow shallow in a warm, sheltered spot
Place seeds about 0.5 cm deep in well-drained soil and keep the pot somewhere warm to get germination going.
- Step02
Keep the soil lightly moist
Tulsi prefers consistently moist soil rather than drying out between waterings, so check it more often than you would for a flowering annual.
- Step03
Germination typically within 5 to 10 days
Sprouts show up in 5-10 days when the soil stays lightly moist and the spot gets good sunlight.
- Step04
Thin, transplant, and start picking leaves
Once seedlings are established, thin or transplant to 20-25 cm apart, water regularly, and begin harvesting leaves as the plant fills out around 45-60 days.

Contact supportSow Tulsi seeds about 0.5 cm deep in well-drained soil, keeping the pot somewhere warm to get germination going. This shallow depth is typical for basil-type herbs and suits Tulsi's 5-10 day germination window. Keep the soil lightly moist rather than letting it dry out, since Tulsi is a little less tolerant of dry spells than flowering annuals.
Tulsi sprouts typically show up within 5-10 days when the soil stays lightly moist and the spot gets good sunlight. Consistent watering during this stage matters more for Tulsi than for some other herbs, since it's less tolerant of drying out.
Keep the soil lightly moist rather than letting it dry out between waterings. Tulsi is a little less forgiving of dry spells than flowering annuals, so it's worth checking the pot more often to keep moisture consistent. Consistent moisture alongside 4-6 hours of daily sun supports steady growth through to harvest at around 45-60 days.
Tulsi needs 4-6 hours of sun daily, slightly more flexible than some of the flowering plants in My Mali's range that need a strict 5-6 hours. This makes it a workable choice for a balcony or window ledge that doesn't get full-day direct light.
Tulsi leaves are ready to start picking in about 45-60 days, making it the quickest turnaround herb in this range. That's well ahead of most flowering plants, so a single medium pot can keep a household in fresh leaves fairly quickly.
Space Tulsi plants 20-25 cm apart once seedlings are established, whether thinned in place or transplanted. This spacing is enough for a single medium pot on a sunny window ledge to keep a household supplied with fresh leaves. It also suits Tulsi's relatively compact growth compared to some other herbs in the range.
Yes, Tulsi (Holy Basil) is grown for both everyday kitchen use, like kadha and tea, and for its familiar place in daily household puja. Having your own plant means fresh leaves are on hand for either purpose instead of buying a small bunch that wilts quickly.
A 5 g pack of My Mali Tulsi seeds holds around 9,000 seeds, so a single packet covers repeated sowings over a long stretch. The seeds are 100% organic, non-GMO, and bred for high germination. Each sowing is done at 0.5 cm depth with plants later spaced 20-25 cm apart.
Yes, Tulsi needs just 20-25 cm spacing between plants and only 4-6 hours of sun daily, so a single medium pot on a sunny window ledge is enough to keep a household in fresh leaves. Leaves are ready to start picking from around 45-60 days after sowing.
Tulsi is a little less forgiving of dry spells than flowering annuals, so soil needs to stay lightly moist rather than drying out between waterings. Otherwise it follows a routine similar to other basil types: shallow 0.5 cm sowing, 5-10 day germination, and 4-6 hours of sun.
