Thinning technique

After you've transplanted your seedlings to the growing shelf. Each pod should be thinned to 1 seedling. To do this pull out the excess seedlings using a pair of tweezers or your fingers gently.

Harvesting technique

For leaves, cut the top 2 inches of the plant, leaving at least 3 inches at the base for regrowth. Flowers are harvested as soon as they emerge at any point on the stem to encourage additional blooms.
