2. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, particularly during dry periods, to ensure healthy, flavorful leaves. Water early in the day to prevent fungal issues.
3. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost to promote vigorous growth. Consider adding extra nitrogen to encourage lush, vibrant foliage.
4. Harvesting: Harvest leaves when young for the mildest flavor, or allow them to mature for a stronger, spicier taste. For multiple harvests, cut the leaves at the base, leaving the plant to regrow.
