Plant Features

Cinnamon Basil Herb Plants produce dark green leaves on cinnamon colored stems. The leaves have a distinctive, spicy cinnamon taste, and the plant itself gives off a wonderful aroma of cinnamon. Try this one with fruit and add it to South Asian dishes. It can easily be grown indoors in a south facing window. Indoor plants should be watered just as the potting mix starts to dry.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for full growth

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5, prefers rich, well-drained soil
  • - Enrich soil with compost or a balanced organic fertilizer prior to planting

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy, especially during hot, dry periods

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back flower buds to encourage bushier growth and prolong leaf production
  • - Regular harvesting of leaves also promotes new growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites
  • - Treat with organic pesticides or introduce beneficial insects as needed

Temperature Tolerance:
