2. Provide Space: Space plants 8–12 inches apart for optimal growth, allowing for air circulation and preventing overcrowding.
3. Water Regularly: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells, to encourage healthy, fast-growing plants.
4. Fertilize Lightly: Use a balanced fertilizer to support leafy growth, but avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excess leaf growth and reduced flavor.
