Visit your local nursery or garden store to pick out basil seeds you'd like to plant, or you can buy them online. You can often buy a packet containing over 100 seeds at a very low price. If you're buying the seeds online, do some research to find out which websites have the best seeds. Basil needs nutrient-rich soil that is able to drain water easily in order to grow into a healthy plant. You can find well-draining potting soil at a garden store, as well as online. The container should offer sufficient drainage and can be made of clay, plastic, stone, or concrete. Use a spray bottle filled with water to give the soil a little moisture before filling the container up with soil so that it’s not quite full.  Look for drainage holes in the bottom regardless of the material. These are critical to ensure good drainage and a healthy plant. Be sure to use a tray underneath your pot to prevent water from coming out of the holes and leaking all over. A regular clay pot is a popular option, or seedling trays made of plastic. If you’re using small seedling trays, try to place about 3 seeds in each tray. If you’re using a larger pot, scatter 5-7 seeds on top of the soil, placing them evenly apart from one another.  It’s important to plant more than 1 seed in each tray in case some of them don’t end up sprouting. Aim for spreading the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart from one another. You don’t need to press the seeds into the soil. You don’t need to add a thick layer, just enough to cover the seeds you’ve just planted—a layer of roughly 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). This will be just thick enough to protect the seeds while also helping them grow. Avoid packing down the soil once it’s in the container. Use a spray bottle filled with water to spray the soil with a little bit more moisture—especially the added top layer. If you don’t have a spray bottle, run your hands under a faucet or dip them in a cup of water and sprinkle the water over the soil using your fingers.  Place the pot or container on top of a tray to catch any water that leaks out. You can place a piece of plastic over the container or pot to lock in moisture. Basil thrives in full sun but needs at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to grow properly. The best spot to set up your basil plant would be near a well-lit, warm window.  Be careful if you’re setting the basil directly onto the windowsill. The glass window can cause the basil plant to become too warm or too cold more quickly than usual. If you are in the northern hemisphere, a south-facing window typically works best. If you don't have a space in your house that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day, consider using a supplemental light source. The exact amount of time it takes for your seeds to sprout will depend on the amount of sunlight they get, the soil temperature, and the available moisture. Be patient and continue to keep the seeds moist and warm.
Purchase basil seeds from a reliable source. Use coarse, well-draining soil to plant the seeds in. Fill ¾ of a container with the soil. Scatter the seeds into the container of soil. Cover the seeds with a sprinkling of dry soil. Add additional moisture to the soil using a spray bottle. Place the container in a sunny spot indoors. Watch your basil seeds germinate after 5-10 days.
