Monsoon Guide: How to protect and nurture your Tulsi plant at home

• Continuous rain or overwatering keeps the soil moist.
• Place Tulsi in a sheltered spot, away from direct rain.
• Use well-draining soil in the pot.

• Fungal attack or powdery mildew disease.
• Spray neem oil and water on the leaves (twice a week).
• Remove yellow, white, or wilted leaves.

• Soil moisture promotes pests like aphids and mealybugs.
• Spray a mixture of 5 ml neem oil and liquid detergent in water on the leaves.

• Reduced sunlight during monsoon weakens the Tulsi plant.
• Place Tulsi in a spot with at least 3-4 hours of indirect sunlight.

• Old leaves drain the plant's nutrients.
• Remove old and white leaves every 10-15 days.

• Rain washes away soil nutrients.
• Apply homemade organic fertilizer (like fermented buttermilk, cow dung manure) every 15 days.

• The plant receives one-sided light.
• Rotate the pot slightly every week so all parts get light.

• Continuously wet soil deprives roots of oxygen.
• Water the plant only after the soil dries completely.
• Avoid overwatering.
