    Hi all,
    I am planning to grow Tulsi in my aprtment. I was wondering if anybody has had any success growing Tulsi at home? Has it survived the winters?

    Hi, I did grow tulasi in my condo in a flower pot. I keep it near the window, so it could get as much sunlight as it could get. Of course, I give it the plant nutrition and arranged the room to have good white-light.
    It has been about three years now, its been growing well.

    Good luck with yours.

    I live in north NJ. My Tulsiji does not survive at my home due to less sunlight and cold temperature in winter time.so last year I took plant to work since I sit close to window and room temperature never go below 70 degree. This is what Tulsiji need.Perfact temperature and regular sun light. Last year when I brought plant from home to work was just 4 inch long. Right now it is 30 inch long. Only thing it needs regular sunlight. My plant faces west side of window so it gets sun from 1:00 afternoon till 5:00 in evening. Now it has started producing lot of seeds which other people at my work started taking advantage. Growing on their desk. I water every day. and One more thing I talk to my Tulsiji every day. I have seen if I am off from work and when I go day after ,my plant look sad. It will band in sad way. Tulsiji needs constant sunlight, water and your smile.I have never cut my Tulsi and its growing very well.
