Thai basil is a mucilaginous seed, meaning it develops a gelatinous coating when it gets wet.
Spray frequently to keep the substrate moist.
It grows very well in hydroponics and does best in well-lit conditions.
Basil is slower growing than other microgreens and the stems grow in a measured manner.
Thai basil is common in Thai and other Asian dishes because it has a basil flavor with a hint of licorice/anise.
