Tulsi Winter Care — 5 Proven Tips to Stop Tulsi from Dying | Plants & Life

5 Tips to Save Tulsi from Dying in Winter 🌿

Winter can be tough for Tulsi lovers 🌿❄️. This sacred plant, known for its medicinal and spiritual importance, struggles in low temperatures. But don’t worry — with a few easy care habits, you can keep your Tulsi lush, green, and healthy throughout the chilly months.

Protecting Tulsi from Frost — Keep your holy basil safe with warmth during cold spells.

1. Keep Tulsi Warm and Sheltered 🌞

Tulsi thrives in warmth. During winter, bring your Tulsi pot indoors or place it near a sunny window. If keeping it outside, cover it at night with a light cotton cloth or frost blanket to shield it from cold winds.

Sunny Spot Love — Let your Tulsi soak in maximum morning sunlight.

2. Water Smartly 💧

Avoid overwatering your Tulsi in winter. The soil stays moist longer due to lower evaporation. Always check the top layer — water only when it feels dry. Watering early morning ensures leaves dry before sunset, preventing fungal growth.

3. Prune and Remove Dry Leaves ✂️

Pruning encourages fresh growth and prevents energy loss. Regularly trim dry or yellow leaves and pinch flower buds to conserve strength for healthy foliage.

Gentle Pruning — Trimming helps Tulsi stay young and bushy.

4. Soil Mix Matters 🌱

Use a well-draining soil mix with garden soil, sand, and compost in equal parts. Avoid waterlogging — it’s the biggest winter killer for Tulsi roots.

Perfect Soil Blend — Tulsi loves loose, airy soil with compost and sand.

5. Feed with Organic Nutrients 🌿

Once a month, feed Tulsi with diluted cow dung liquid or compost tea. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers in winter as they trigger weak growth.

Natural Nourishment — Organic feed keeps Tulsi strong during cold weather.
