Principle

Remove the growing tip and the plant pushes two new shoots from the leaf axils below — it grows bushy instead of leggy.

How to

  1. From about 15 cm tall, pinch the tip above a leaf pair.
  2. Harvesting regularly = pinching automatically.
  3. Remove flower buds early so the herb does not turn woody/bitter.
