Holy Basil Can Be Grown as a Houseplant.

Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) is associated with good fortune and energy purification and is often used in Ayurvedic practices. It also makes a great houseplant! Be sure to provide plenty of sun and moist, well-drained, loamy soil. (You can also grow it outdoors if you’d like.) Note that if you plan to consume the leaves, it’s a good idea to check in with your doctor unless you’re already very familiar with it.
