What type of soil does tulsi grow in?

Tulsi, also known as holy basil, thrives in well-drained, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH, ideally between 6.0 and 7.0. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so sandy loam or potting mixes that allow excess water to escape are ideal for optimal growth. Regular amendments with compost can enhance nutrient availability and support healthy plant development.
