Tulsi Rama and Krishna Combo

Pro tips that sell themselves

Small habits that keep Tulsi (Rama and Krishna) looking shop-fresh at home.

1. 1Regularly pinch off the flowering tops (Manjari) to prevent the plant from going to seed and to encourage dense, bushy growth.
2. 2Ensure the pot has proper drainage holes to avoid root rot, especially during heavy monsoon rains.
3. 3Protect the plant from cold drafts and extreme winter chill by placing it under a roof or indoors near a sunny window.
4. 4Spray diluted neem oil once a month as a preventive measure against common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.
5. 5Place in a north or east-facing balcony or courtyard according to traditional Vastu guidelines for optimal morning light.
