• Spacing and light: space plants about 20–25 cm apart, ideally in full sun for intensive foliage and robust growth.
• Maintenance: water regularly without waterlogging; pinch off the ends to encourage branching and a more abundant harvest.
• Harvest and use: start harvesting when plants have several leaves; prefer younger leaves for a more delicate flavor and continuous growth.
